Marylander Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just curious -- what areas of detailing do you find the most challenging (product/technique-wise) or do you just not really know enough about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chobbs Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I don't particularly like taping off the cracks and trim. I always mess it up somehow??? And the tape never sticks very well to the trim (damn you VRT!) and the line of leftover product that has to be removed AFTER you remove the tape drives me crazy! I'm afraid I'll add some micro Scratches to the finish while rubbing that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ksell87 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I wouldn't mind learning how to wet sand. I just recently bought the focus pad kit for the cordless drill so I will also be learning how to remove some scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vink70 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 :willy:Interior windows for sure!! Nailed it. They look perfect in the shade, as soon as the sun hits them you can see REALLY how bad of a job you did. I hate that. Also, weakest skill is the motivation to do all the steps. Making that time commitment takes a lot as well as muscle endurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 70'sChevyGirl Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My weak spot is making time to do it. Mine also Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 CaptainChet Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 For me and my BLACK Corvette, getting the paint truly perfect!! Especially the front bumper. Just cannot get that concourse look no matter how hard I try (and I'm talking using every tool made to man). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brandon Lutz Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Interior window cleaning for me as well. Well not so much the windshield and side windows, it's the rear window in my 2012 Camaro that I hate cleaning the inside of. My body doesn't twist in the ways it needs to so I can make it happen easily lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dipolley Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 My wet sanding skills could definitly be better. Beyond that, single-stage paint. After that I would have to say touch-up painting. Combine these items and put it on a Ferrari, and I really have to take my time and pucker up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JJ Stin Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 The interior windshield, can never get that perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 02Xtreme07ss Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Loss of focus and patience. During some longer detailing projects, I sometimes end up at some point where I start thinking too far ahead. I start thinking about how many more panels I have with this step, then how I'm going to tackle trim, wheels, tires, etc, etc. Sure I'm worn out and sure I just want to get to the end, but I need to show a little patience for the process and it will reward me. It's those times I find that I just need to take a breath and re-focus. Otherwise, I can see the quality of my work drop off and that's no bueno.

With any skill, it requires lots of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
