    The hot
    The cold
    The rain
    The sun
    The friends who want 8 hours of work done for 20 bucks and lunch

    Also door jams, trunks, windows, short napped carpet, cloth seats, and dogs that ride in the car. I could keep going but this is a public forum lol

    When the customer says "it`s not bad". Or "I haven`t washed it a while". And then wonder why it takes so long to do.

    ...when you finish polishing or waxing your motorcycle and a friend sits on your motorcycle and rubs their hands on the gas tank admiring the gloss and slickness. /cringe

    It`s the worst when you just get finished polishing to perfection, and someone comes along (without you knowing) and sets stuff on the hood to free up their hands so they can tie their shoe!! And it wasn`t a clean microfiber towel!!

    Seeing a freshly waxed car parked one hour outdoors attracting dust and particles floating by of every conceivable kind....while the non waxed cars look fine.
