ya i agree, i was just going to say behind the side mirrors. what i do to get at it, is raise the mirror all the way up so i can get my fingers in to do a polish.

These are all very good... taking steps like these are what elevates you to the Autopian standard..... IMO if you have trouble remembering ANY of these items you should have a check list printed out to take with you on each and EVERY job...

I'll bite:

move the side view mirrors to vaious positions to thoroughly clean and protect.. when you move the mirror to a new position some of the housing that you did not get to becomes exposed

Remove head rests to polish the posts

Not only the pedals but the metal they are attached to

The area that becomes exposed once you open the sun roof (the slide area)

DOOR JAMBS!!! I mean steam those suckers!! I hate seeing ANY grease in my jambs

The spare tire area...

The seat tracks.

And customers actually wonder why it takes so long to detail a car properly!

Jason :

I'm saying this without looking, but don't seat tracks have some type of grease/lubrication on them? What do you clean them with?
