| my '04 Saturn Vue is a freaking nightmare... lots of compound curves, creases, ribs, raw plastic bumpers & rockers... you name it, it's got it... metal roof & tailgate, polymer body panels on the side, & I think the hood is composite (SMC maybe).
It's put together like an SSP smashup derby car... all the dent resistant polymer panels are just bolted on. Its weekly bath is a 2 to 3 hour ordeal to get all the nooks, crannies, & crevices dried out.
The last time I polished it, it took over 2 hours just to get everything taped off.
Wish I still had my Lincoln. I had a '98 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC that was an absolute dream to wash & detail... fluid, aerodynamic lines, gentle curves, tight body seams, just a lot of smooth, unbroken sheetmetal. |
