Favorite Color to detail

**whitestallion06** · 06-02-2007, 02:39 PM

Hi,

I dont make many post i`ve basically been poking around this forum for about 6 months when i started i was just a "weekend warrior" and payed most attention to my car. Now i have moved on and have a great collection of products and learned how to efficently use a PC. I am still in college but am using detailing to get some extra money here in the summer i do only about 4 to 5 cars a week. But i really do love it, its like an art to me and the bonus is i get paid. I need to buy a good camera so i can successfully upload pictures of before and afters but i really do appreciate all ive learned and idolize what you professionals can do.

So i was wondering what you guys found Most challenging , Most boring, and Most Fun color car to detail. I know some cars are more fun than others but my personal car is a 06 Mustang GT but its White i love how it looks and wouldnt trade it for anything but i find it the least challenging and kind of boring to detail it seems no matter what process i do the results are almost the same. The most challenging to me was Black but the results were amazing but it was a pain in the *** because it was extremely dirty and swirled to pieces! My favorite color to detail was a volvo it was a dark charcol color just love the color and wasnt quite as bad as black.

Im with Wanna......I love detailing white and silver.....

I hate doing black, its very time consuming, and it seems like thats the only color I get to detail....

personally i enjoy doing black the most because it shows the most drastic improvement, and the owners always say `holy sh!t`

Most boring: Light coloured metallics, IE silver, grey and etc. And of course white cars

Most fun: Dark metallics

patrick i understand it sucks how much time it consumes, but if someone asked to see your best work, what car/color is/was it, i bet its black, and i bet the detail of all of them youve done youre most proud of something black. right?
