Default Least favorite step of the detailing process?

What is your least favorite part of the detailing process? For me it usually is cleaning glass or cleaning wheels when it is bitter cold out.

Lets hear about what you dread doing the most.

I currently work at a dealership and I hate having to clean snow and ice off cars before I can even start. After that, it would be the glue that remains on the paint after peeling off the protective plastic on a new car.

This is sometimes a tough call depending on what vehicle I'm working on. However most consistently I have to say glass is the biggest pain to get perfect. The streaks drive me crazy!

I'm probably going to think of something else that drives me more crazy but this is a frequent #1.

I don't know why, but lately it cleaning the front of my truck. I just do not look forward to cleaning the grille and front bumper. Maybe it's because of all the bug mess I find, or possibly the concern about finding rock chips.
I don't even mind cleaning the wheels and tires, and I really like clean glass so that's not a problem, but that darn front end, I guess that's my phobia!

Least favorite-taping the trim. I find it to be tedious. Second to the least favorite-cleaning the wheels.
