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...

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.

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

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



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.
 
This is an excellent, EXCELLENT piece of work! I live in Passaic County and work in Somerset county. I'd like to come meet up with you just to give you a handshake for the fine and grueling work you put into these behoemuths.



I'd also like to know what you charged for these, how long it took, and how much wheel dressing you had to use (Unless that's the AM's Dress it All is it).

Yeah, I would like to know how much product you went through too. It must have been bucket loads. :think:



Excellent job :bigups
 
Holy Moly!! I can't even imagine tacking on such a project.



Great work!!! Did the APC work to clean the recessed areas or did they need agitation as well? If so, how did you reach them?



Nice having you back!!!
 
I just showed this thread to my kids (who kind of complain about Excursions and Suburbans) and they were both seriously impressed. :)
