<HTML>I plan on writing an article for some magazines on behalf of the association about the most "detailable" car for 2004.
What's your most favorite, easiest, detailer friendly car you've done this year -- which when the customer calls and say "I have a so-and-so" car, you get in a better mood? Also, post your reason why.
Mine would be the Mercedes CLK line because of the luxury feel and look to them. They're sporty yet classy -- very sexy car. Carpets clean up easily; the dirtiest set of wheels clean to mint condition and you don't have to move the seats manually -- they do it by themselves (and the headrest also moves automatically, no pushing or propping.)</HTML>
Take care,
Brian

<HTML>I agree with you Brian the CLK is nice to detail and the top of the line quality interior makes for a nice detail. Its always a joy to detail a quality product. And I have read your articles in PC&D they are well written.
But I have to say the other day I did a full detail on a 2001 PT Cruiser and I think it's wide open interior and blob like exterior made for a quick and easy detail. I did a wash and wax (GEM Buffer) and shampoo in 1 hour. Its large windows and realtively small size made the exterior a snap to clean. I have detailed boats, semi's, planes, RVs and all types of cars this one was a breeze.
As for what really puts a smile on my face is when I hear the customer say on the phone " I would like to make this a weekly thing"

<HTML>Along the same line of thinking as Chris, my fave would be any car that's already clean and properly maintained.
As for models, I'm partial to the Benz SL500 convertibles. As Brian pointed out, the carpet is top quality and everything else is leather, burrelwood and chrome/steel. They look so sweet when everything's done.
Also love the Dodge Vipers. They just look so Damn fine when they're done. Interior is mostly plastic (cheap) so it's real easy to clean. Plus, one of my best customers let's me pick it up & bring it back to him. Man, that car is a beast to drive!! It always turns a lot of heads when I'm driving it back to his house.</HTML>

<HTML>Keith,
Glad you like my writing bits. Hopefully I can continue writing on a regular basis for some magazines.
Yes, Mercedes are probably the nicest cars to detail -- check out my link to see some hot Mercedes CL-CLKs:

Anything sporty and classy I love.</HTML>
