    Re: Which part of your vehicle do you neglect the most?

    So far it looks like the roof is neglected the most, but not much. I would have to agree with door jams. I normally spray UQD in the jams but I do not officially wash them, ever. The inside of the windshield is probably another area I neglect. It is a real pita to clean the inside windshield.

    Probably the roof, because as a 13 year old, it is sometimes hard to reach the roof lol.

    In my opinion, the horizontal panels are more crucial than the vertical ones. Water and contaminants tend to slide off from the vertical panels easily if the car is well waxed.

    I read here that some of you wax under the hood. I never did this, not sure if the wax would last in extreme heat inside the engine compartment. Also, my car has a hood mat which covers most of the underhood area.

    I agree completely. I just detailed a car and the horizontals were terrible.

    Re: Which part of your vehicle do you neglect the most?

    Door jambs, lower portion of the front bumper, and the front grills. The lower portion of the bumper is a bit neglected, but at least i do get to dry it most of the time. My car has a mesh like or honey comb pattern front grill and it can be a hastle to clean thouroughly. On our SUV, yes the roof is a bit neglected but the rest is a bit Ok.

    Re: Which part of your vehicle do you neglect the most?

    I chose interior.

    I wouldnt say that I neglect the interior just dont spend as much time on it. I always keep in clean and with the harsh Vegas sun I am more worried about protecting the paint than the interior. The reason I say that is because all the windows are tinted and when I park the car the sun shade automatically goes up and the sunroof is vented. I also use the thick cardboard style shade to keep the sun out. So the interior is pretty well protected.

    I cant really say as I have never done it with a traditional wax. I have done it with a spray wax just because im OCD but I really see no benefit from it.
