My first Semi

Now this was a job, cleaning the 50 gal gas tank was a treat, not to mention the chrome exhaust stacks, good thing I didn't have to do the engine.

Looks like the kind of truck i will be driving in a few weeks. know all to well the in,s and out,s of kenworth bobtail. never had to polish one just keep it clean. which can be a pain with all the nooks and cranny's on the frame rail as well as the pumpkins and the suspension( i guessing air bag).



how did you get access to the tank? did you disconnect and drop it to the ground?

 

[imported_turbomangt]

The tank is exposed, stainless steel. too bad its on the other side.

what did you charge for a detail such as this? or is it your rig?

 

[Scottwax]

Very nice! Looks like you put a lot of work into it. :up

 

[airjames]

I'm curious myself too what you charged or if that's your rig.



Also, what products, procedures etc... did you do and use?? I cannot see anyone trying to use a PC on that thing. Rotary is almost a must have. But that's just me,,,,,,AR

It belongs to a customer whom I detailed a car for. Charged $300, which may be light, but he gives me lots of referrals. I used Meguiars fine cut with my cyclo first on the paint. Then car-brite speed glaze, finished with my sealant. The chrome I used auto magic #70, and I spray painted some of the frame with rubberized under coating paint. Time was 6/12 hours. Gary

thanks awesome work by the way



there is a local towning company here with an old kenworth looks like a early 80's to late 70's model that is in SAD shape i am hoping i can get to detail it just to see what i can do



i guess now all i can do is go and see if they will let me detail it i dont even know if they use the old rig anymore but it sits out their with their new shiny trucks and it looks sad



i know i cant make it perfect because i dont have a rotary but i could make it alot better than it is

 

[boywonder]

Nice job. How did you get the top of the rig?

 

[Scottwax]

Nice job. How did you get the top of the rig?

Easy, Gary has a 42" vertical leap.

 

[Steve530]

Nice. Did you apply tire dressing between the dualies?

 

[imported_turbomangt]

Scott, you are right (6' 5") dressing between dualies? that why they make spray bottles. No I didn't take the tires off. Gary

 

[klnyc]

Man, how many gallon of tire dressing you pour on dually?

It's powered by CAT or Cummins? 12speed Fuller?

 

[imported_ajbarnes]

Excellent job! Can't imagine the labor put into it!!

 

[SilverLexus]

No I didn't take the tires off.
