Default I dislike detailing!

Whether it be Zaino's or Adam's products, I still hate doing it. I hate doing it by hand, or using the new buffer I got from Adam's. I hate having to roll around on the ground getting those low spots, or getting up on a ladder to do my Mercury Mountaineer. I do like the results, however.

Now if I had a garage with 20 foot ceiling and a lift, and these chicks would have been helping me, I might not hate it so much.

Yes, I can see how they would make it more enjoyable. Since this is unlikely you may want to think about using a good sealant like Zaino so you do not need to be doing it that often.

You may also want to be thankful you do not have to drive on roads like these.

I'd take one look at a road like that in my Mercury Mountaineer and say, "I don't think so." I can tell you some funny stories about nutty people up here in the boonies trying to traverse a two track near my house in the winter and spring.

Wow ! great post. Now I remember why I bought the Vette, and why I keep her so clean.

In younger days I could spend 8 hours plus doing every thing from the trunk hinges to engine to all rubber seals in car to hubcaps. Now I dread it especially cleaning off brake dust off the wheels. When I Zaino car I have to be careful of back and neck problems. It's no longer fun but has become a chore to me now.
I would rather spend my time with the babes instead now that I can handle and is great therapy.

With that kind of help, I would be looking to detail as many cars as I could find.
