    this week. The Miata was washed and 1 coat of Zaino applied.....pretty easy. The tractor trailer was much tougher.....up and down ladders.....the client wanted no machines on the rig....it took 36 hours by hand....we used megs one-step cleaner wax......The client wants to be anonomous so please don`t ask who it belongs to.

    I`ve done a few 40-42` coaches and 38` American Eagle RVs by hand, so I can imagine how much work you put into that job.



    Just curious, why did they want the work done by hand? Previous bad experience?

    Mike, I`m only sore through the hips....up & down the ladder....my partner is sore through her chest and shoulders. Scott, yes they canned the last detailing crew because they did a lousy job cleaning the rig with a pressure washer and they left dried wax in splotches and cracks everywhere...machine applied ....and not buffed off properly.

    Is that your garage the trailer is in? Also i have been trying to attract customers with a $39.95 wash and wax, what do you charge and what is the easiest wax to take on and off if you don`t clay?
