Detailed a Toyota Tundra for a customer. His third time back. He told me up front that he had taken it hunting, so I had my work cut out for me. This truck never sees dirt or travels off road, So you can imagine my surprise when I saw the truck in its before state.

Mud stains, swirls, scratches, etc... were definitely a issue.

Full wash, then decon with nanoskin fine clay sponge. Wheels, tires, and wheel wells cleaned and dressed. Full 2 step polish session with Megs 5 inch cutting disc and followed by Megs M205. Coated with DP paint coating. Interior needed a full cleaning also. Seats were coated with Cquartz and carpets with 303 fabric guard.

(Background on myself: Ive been detailing vehicles since I was about 18 years old. Im 37 now. I quit in my early 20s when I became a full time firefighter. I always stayed up on the latest and greatest technologies of detailing. I always was known in my community of roughly 60,000 people, "that guys that keeps his ride clean even when it rained". I started back detailing on the side about 1 year ago. I did 11 vehicles by myself in one month while on vacation from the FD, I mean full on details (4-8 or more hours) Ive currently completed some major and minor details in the last year totaling 60 cars trucks/SUVs/boats)












 
Wow great job!

11 full details in a month as a side job!? I hope you have access to a nice hot tub lol.

I was very lucky. I was on vacation from the fire department in August of last year. After doing one vehicle, the lady posted it on facebook. From there it BLEW up. I managed to look back and saw I did 11 vehicles on my 30 day vacation. Some were two days and but most 1 day. Some required full on polishing and defect removal. Some only wanted your standard wash and wax or sealant. All wanted my interior jobs though. :( Price of being OCD. :rockon

Great job and thanks for sharing. I hope you have another vacation soon!
 
Nice turnaround! Makes me wonder why some people choose a black vehicle. At least this gentleman is willing to bring it to its full potential.
 
yep, these fire fighters can't deal with having a dirty truck around. it's an occupational hazard and they'll be the first to tell you" a clean truck is a happy truck " :D

Surprising how often you drive by a station here and they are either cleaning an engine or their own vehicles. I'd be afraid I'd get the wax on then ding ding ding.
