This is going to be short as I can not feel my hands, arms, and the rest of my body right now!!:bawling: :D Detailed 3 trucks this weekend, only got shots of two that I did because the other one had to leave. I`ll be washing these trucks every week giving me yet another reason to get a trailer, tank, and pressure washer set up. Imagine, I had to do these trucks with a regular hose!!!:eek:



Wash with Meg`s GC, spot clay, spot polish (DACP), NXT tech, Mother`s Billet chrome polish on wheels, tanks, pipes, etc., AA & EO Wet on tires, Simple Green on frame, mud flaps, etc., woolite, SG, and Orange Blast throughout interiors, IG on glass.



Sorry about the image quality...but do it really look like I care right now!!:p :lol

Wow, I didn`t know people who operated dump trucks cared enough to have them detailed. Most of the ones in my area look like they just drove out of the Cretaceous Period, and fling rocks at my windshield.

Wow looks good. I am a huge fan of big rigs, and have some of them in my clientel. That peterbuilt looks especially good. I am not a fan of the new chevrolet dump truck, but that one actually looks good. Good work and keep the pics coming.

Both of those look good, belive me i used to detail this guys 18 wheelers well just the front part and it is a beeoch, you know you have to invest in some armorall cause dressing all those tires drains your supply fast.



Good job:xyxthumbs

Thanks for all the kind words.:) The fee was around $600-$700 for all. It was quoted kind of complex because of all the chrome I have to polish...including those gigantic wheels!!! It`s on a contract, so with all trucks including washes and one detail a month per truck, I`ll pretty much hit my minimum monthly quota. :woot2:



Everyone in the family (the father, three sons, the mother, and more all have 05` corvette`s & one o4` viper...believe it or not....and I`ll be taking care of those also weekly and one detail a month. One of the sons and the father each have hogs (one is a Harley similar to the one in the recent Scottwax post, and the other is a custom built chopper) which I`ll also be taking care of every now and then. I guess paving some roads and driveways can put some serious dough in the bank eh?:eek:

I`m with Tasty; I`m amazed their are people who car about how their dump trucks look.



Excellent job on both! I expect black to have a nice glow but I`m really impressed with how good the white one looks. :up

Thanks.



I was amazed myself when I first saw the truck. I was working on his wife`s corvette and his viper and by the time I got done I saw the trucks rolling in from being out all day and I almost had a heart attack when I saw the black one`s coming in due to how clean they look. It`s kind of like our business, they want to show customer`s they care about their image and therefore will lead to alot of new and repeat business....which obivously is working very well for them!!:cool:
