Re: Aloha Detailing-'08 U.S. Senior Open 249 Vehicles

Your process for the Exterior was just an ONR wash, or am I missing something?

Was it basically a wash and dress rather than full details? If that's the case, 249 cars is pretty manageable in 4 days.

Regardless, that's a monster job! Good work, hope the money made it worth while!

The vehicles had bug guts from transporter, then 2/3 of them were put on the dirt which they got rained on hard, so it had alot of dirt on the body, then the techs did the PDI on the dirt so the door jambs, panels and floormats had mud or dirt. Also adhesive from dealership tags and labels. Then remove white and yellow pen writing on front windshields. Interior windows, Navigation screens.

It wasnt full details but it was alot of work to do in 4 days, Plus the biggest challenge was the heat for the workers and using the ONR, it was really tricky because of the heat and dirt on the cars. The ONR would dry up really fast, and on the dark colors it streaked and smudged if we didnt work fast.

The heat of CO Springs?!?! Ha!

How many MF towels were used?

I hope our monsoon season didn't ruin all of your detail work! It's been raining almost every day down here!

Great job!

Great job!
About 125-150 microfibers used per day, 12-14 wash mitts, 154 gallons of mixed ONR solution.

actually 50 vehicles got rained on in transport, so we got 50 exterior redos.

Thanks everyone! just got done today doing exterior redos on 44 RX350s (they got rained on during transport) not to bad 7 hours. They were all in the Broadmoor Hotels parking, so no sun factor.
