Big, bigger, biggest! Volvo Volvo FE S 4x2R truck

nicknameless · 30-07-2010, 08:38 PM

This is one of the two trucks of my work. I am working in a wholesale hardware and tools.
They knew that my hobby to clean cars. They asked if I wanted to do the trucks.

In total: 38 man-hours :shock:

- Wash with Armor All shampoo
- Rotary + different pads, yellow, white, black, red
- Monello Mezzo (same as Menzerna Power Finish PO 85 RD 3.02)
- Menzerna Super Finish
- Meguiars D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream
- Collinite #845
- Poorboys World Trim Restorer
- Meguiars Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Tire Protection Gel
- Different cheap mf cloths

Something missing.... some shine!

On reflection, we washed the truck anyway, it was very necessary because there are quite a lot of dust on the truck

Hmmmm, how are we going to do a washmitt and 2 buckets is too slow, so I look at my work and came back with .............. a large mortar shell and a room sweeper

Now everyone will say we're crazy, but hey, the truck still had to be polished, so a scratch or swirl more or less does not even matter anymore.

The old logos were still visible

Another piece of the clay to have tried to see how much pollution was over. Turned out pretty bad.
Of course we have the truck is not treated with clay, this is impossible ....

Test spot with Meguiars D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream

The orange pad after a few hits

A few rooms scaffolding put there for the top

Poorboys World SYN1. Beta version. Is not officially on the market

After a few hits with an orange hexlogic pad

The result was not good. A few hits with Monello Mezzo on a yellow pad

Finished.

And again, proof that the SYN1 splashes like crazy. It is known to Poorboys Wolrd. I've got a bottle's to try this product.
A while the final version will appear on the market soon

Even on the tires...

Same as Red Bull energy drink

50/50

Difference between trailer and cab is clearly visible

Cab taped. There is much tape used. 3 rolls of 50 meters

This path is written off, no more cutting. Where the Lake Country's merry go, this is after a job is already dead ...

Door already done.

Good job

Rather you than me though, I used to hate just having to jetwash those things for MOT's when I was an apprentice, nevermind machine polishing them!
