Most missed areas.

I have a few friends that I detail with from time to time and I guess I could refer to them as “semi-professional”. All of them are very proficient with the rotary, and can cut a polish out a black car as good as anyone I know, just at a much slower pace. As far as areas these detailers seem to miss, these are the most common I find when detailing with them:

Glass around tight areas and corners.
Door jamb inside the b-pillar. (Most commonly missed).
Truck jamb around trunk strut.
Wheel wells not entirely cleaned.
Center console, particularly inside crevices.
Carpet area under the rear window.
Rear cup holders.
Wheels particularly around the lug nuts.
Area inside engine bay just beneath the wipers. (I hate finding debris there).
Underside of the hood/trunk.

I sometime miss one of these areas myself and usually (hopefully always) discover them on my final walk around, but these are some basic pet peeves I find to be quite common.

What areas of an auto detail do you find to be the most missed?
