    Yesterday, detailed a Toyota Tundra 4 door. This thing was such a nightmare. I`m 6`1 and standing in the bed I couldn`t even reach half of the roof. It was just thoroughly aggravating, plus it was white which is never easy to work on either.

    I would have to agree with you on this one. I have 2 of these SUV`s on my client list. They take 2x as long to detail as any other vehicle I`ve done. It`s all the plastic trim, bumper guards and light guards that get in my way!

    Re: Least favorite car to detail...

    I hate detailing cars that aren`t "loved."

    I dont run a business, but I detail cars of friends & family for extra cash.

    My stepdad`s GS300 had coffee spills & half-used cough drops (wtf?) stuck all over the interior, dirt & parking lot ground grease all over the carpet & floormats.

    The outside had swirls Id expect on a 10 year old car, not a 2 year old one!

    When I was done with it, it looked fresh off the showroom floor.

    Two weeks later, it looked like it did before I spent a weekend with it. :bawling:

    Like palomino said, it`s not really any fun detailing cars that are abused. The end result is nice, but unless you`re working with a friend or something, it`s just not as fun as detailing a nice car.

    I agree abused cars are a nightmare and the details run far too long. I hate doing trashed mini vans,suv`s or anything with a roof rack. I`ve been doing the cars as favors and a few on a side until winter approached, you can bet i`ve done my last mini van..

    My worst had to be a 2002 Durango, the customer (a friend of mine) said it was in bad shape. So I was preparded for the worst, when I saw it finally I thought hey this isn`t that bad. When I opened the door, thats when it hit me. She then informed me oh by the way my kid just threw up in the back seat. Needless to say I had to air it out for a few hours before I could even get next to it. SO for me anyone who says I`ve got kids...
