Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Hampton Roads, Va Posts: 271 | Guess what we had come into today. We have a H2 Hummer with 42 inch wheels, with a lift kit that had to get reconditioned yesterday and undercoated today.
We have a Mac Truck (International, the proper name) pull into today for a wash/wax.
By the way, our shop is based in VA and she drove from NC.
We have a Town & Country that has not been detailed, I think ever. Many kids, juice and food along the way. The customer is mainly concerned with the carpet. So we have that added to our list for today.
I'll have the pictures later. Picture quality will not be that great, digital picture phone.
Fun day already and the day has just started.

Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Hampton Roads, Va Posts: 271 | your right brandon. completely two different things, but for size and body shape purposes people are more familiar with the Mak. Realized the international is smaller then the Mac. This truck is an automatic, I thought that was wiered. There is no park. You leave it in neutral and the air brakes hold it in place.

Sorry about some of the pictures below the (digital camera phone) added a red tint to the carpet, especially the front carpet. There are a lot of red stains in the carpet, however, the guy had candy and red juice all over it.
I would also like to give my guys big props for a great day of work, we pushed out a lot of stuff. After we had the big white truck come in it really started the day of "here we go." Here is a list of some of things we did today:
12-Exterior/Interior
4-Reconditions
2-waxes
1-undercoat
1-protection package
1-wash/clay bar
1-wash/shampoo/clean engine
1-wash/shampoo
(I'm only telling you this because I'm sure some of you can relate to idea that I am glad that work is over). Now the pictures

I was thinking DISGUSTING! Can't believe people live like that, especially with their kids. Try not to get ghonnasyphylaids when you touch that nasty crap! Did you charge for biohazard removal? | |

Most of the 5-th wheel towers like that one have automatics. I detail a couple of big rigs a year and they dont have them. A little confusing to drive, worst part of all is, my garage door is about 2-in wider than the truck, so I have to be really careful when pulling it in my garage.
Looks good on the details.
