Not for the faint of heart...

I have not posted on any detailing boards in about 6 months, but I really want to share this one with those that can appreciated tough detailing jobs. I am just about completed with a real "project". 6 Tri-axil dumps and 4 dual axil dumps. This project required to name a few...



3 battle hardened detailers

1 and 1/2 gallons of metal polish

1/2 Gallon of Automagic XP polish

3-4 gallons of water based dressing (AM`s Dress-It-All)

4 bags of 0000 steel wool

6 Flitz buffing balls

1 quart of chrome polish

About a quart of Poorboys EX

2 cans of Stoners IG



Gallons of Gatorade and water in the 90 degree weather we have had this past week.

Looks great!

[brwill2005]

Great job as always. How many man hours did that take you?

[Gonzo]

Great work! Now I understand why you took a 6 month vacation from the board.



BTW, you missed the before and afters from the inside of the dump box.....

[Todd03Blown]

HOLY COW..............what an amazing job!!! Nice work.....like someone else asked how long does it take to do 1 of those trucks?

[David703]

How much $$$??? How long? AWESOME WORK!!

I appreciate the complements. The trucks were done over 3 days and work commenced promptly at 6:00 AM. The washing of 3 trucks takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I loaded up on Magichem`s APC Red Heat and used about 3-4 gallons of the APC getting the undercarriage, tires and wheel well areas cleaned up. The wheels and tires required some real attention, and the brown cruddy looking tires really needed a scrubbing. I did the claying and buffing of the cab section and my assistants and I shared all the brightwork and metal trim. The aluminum was a real pain in the @$$ !!! One assistant did all of the bodies with XP and a PC. We completed 9 of these babies in 36 hours. This is our second time detailing them, and we have assigned responsibilities on each truck. The heat this week was murder, but we made the best of it and listen to Buzzsaw on Sirius radio each of the days. We have one more to go, and I admit I look forward to not seeing another dump truck for at least a month or two.

Check your PM box.

That is just a plain huge job, humbles me a bit when I think my little ol` sports car is too much to deal with, lol. Guess it could be worse, hah.

[imported_Sullybob]

Amazing work. Wow.

How did you polish the metal? Please elaborate.
