Realistic amount of time for this project? Well, this project wasn't really 'realistic' to begin with; :-p However, to answer your question to the best of my ability... I worked on this with my two helpers. Both have detailing experience, and it took 9 hours...

I remember when I only did the interior last year - and it took slightly over 4 hours by myself... I would have to honestly estimate that one person would complete this job in approximately 14 to 18 hours... That is with the right equipment, products and process... Without the right equipment, products and process - I would estimate slightly longer with poorer results...

Sorry I can't be more concise in my response...

To answer your second question (or not... :cool ) :
I made somewhere between $500 and $1000 but less than $600 and slightly more than $549...... of course I'll never reveal just what I made, but this kinda' puts the figure in the ballpark...

(p.s. I make more than that on some houses and do less work)

:onthespot


btw, thank you everyone for your kind responses and compliments... and Steve - I have a small sample bottle of SSR2.5, and have experimented with it on other vehicles... just didn't have enough to do this job... When I get more of these lined up with a few bulldozers, I'll be giving you a call... :-p
 
:bigscream :bigscream :bigscream Holy cow that is a big job...don't know if I would be brave enough to tackle that(well maybe if the money is right:-p )

Great Job I think he will be more than pleased:bigups

That first picture looks like a ghost:ghost (i have been waiting to use that smilie)
 
awesome job onthespot, sounds like you have more of a powerwashing business and can go to detailing whenever you get the urge.. great job..
 
How come you did not polish the wheels and tanks? That would have really made it shine. You did do a good job on that dump. Here they just run them filthy and let them go. Most are terrible, I know of a few though that are spotless. Funny how these drivers are also the ones that make themost money.

Nice work! Looks like you use more product than needed from the hood shot, unless it is just hard to tell.
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Scooter, regarding the wheels and tank: We did polish them. Bear in mind how much abuse this truck took for 250,000 miles. Rear wheels were painted, and there was a limit to how shiny we could make the front wheels and tank... btw, we also polished the stack and mirrors.

At any rate, the driver was very pleased. In fact, he said that it looked so clean that he was afraid his prospective buyer wouldn't buy it - thinking that something was wrong with it (since it didn't look like it had been worked.... So he went out the day he picked it up and hauled a few loads of gravel in it to put some work dust on it....
