As a I've said before I currently teach school and do detailing on the side, but starting June I'll be full-time. On Thursday I decided to use one of my sick days to take car of a dentist customer of mine. He leased 9 HHR's for all his employees to drive and gave it to them for Christmas. I was lucky enough to get the chance to clean them once a month. The tricky thing is they're all vinyl wrapped in his Smile Innovations logo. I was trying to come up w/ the best process for cleaning these beauties, and I came up w/ the following:

Rinse w/ PW
Cover w/ foam (hyper wash, 4 and 1, and APC) via PW foam gun.
Scrub tires, rims, windows, front grill, and lower panels w/ yellow shmitt
Rinse entire vehicle w/ PW
Mist entire vehicle w/ 4 and 1 QD solution
Dry w/ Guzzler
Armour Tire foam

The dentist also let me do his Denali. He really takes care of it, but it's been 3 months since the last wax.

Process:
Rinse w/ PW
Apply Meg's wheel brite via foam gun
Scrub w/ yellow shmitt
Rinse rims and tires
Apply Meg's Degreaser via foam gun to tires, lower panel, and grill
Scrub w/ yellow shmitt
Rinse tires, lower panel, and grill
Apply foam mixture to each side and wash w/ white shmitt
Rinse entire vehicle
California blade windows
Spray DG FCS on vehicle body
Dry w/ Guzzler
Apply PwS via PC and yellow pad
Remove w/ MF misted w/ Crystal Mist
Armour tire foam and tire gel combo
Rims got DG aquawax (awesome on chrome!)

What...all those in one day!!! NO WAY!!!

Ya you should be tired man, wow great job...oh and to finish the Denali dude you have got to be tired.

All looking good though, really nice work.
 
Not done yet!

I had one more to do, but luckily it was a VW Bug. It's one of my weekly customers so it won't be too bad. She smokes however so the windows can be a pain.

Process:
Rinse w/ PW
Apply Meg's wheel brite via foam gun
Scrub w/ yellow shmitt
Rinse rims and tires
Apply Meg's Degreaser via foam gun to tires, lower panel, and grill
Scrub w/ yellow shmitt
Rinse tires, lower panel, and grill
Apply foam mixture to each side and wash w/ white shmitt
Rinse entire vehicle
California blade windows
Spray DG FCS on vehicle body
Dry w/ Guzzler
* She wasn't there for me to ask, but I going to upsell her a convertible top conditioning next week.

Finally finished my day around 4:30. I could of done one more, but the wife wanted to go out for dinner.
 
The one I passed on was a black H2 that I do weekly.
 
I got to ask, what kind of money did you bring in on the fleet of HHR's?
 
Wow that is work dude...you did an amazing job on all of those vehicles.

You must have made some serious coin doing all of those details.
 
I am curious, does that vinyl remove easily when the lease is up?
PS great job Bradley.
 
Ok Bradley. Me and you need to partner up bro!

WOW!

Make feel like I took the day off. I only did 5 Suv's!

Good work!
 
you da man !! nice job and get some rest after all that !!! Remember if you call in sick, you better put some sunscreen on, cause they'll see that you've been outside having fun :)
 
20 each for the HHR's which doesn't sound like much, but I was done w/ them in 5 hours. It helps when all the vehicles are in one spot. I got 120 for the Denali, and it took about 2 and half hours. Thanks for all the kind words.
 
Wow! I'm amazed that you washed 9 cars and detailed 2 all in one day.
 
Wow, all them smiles HHR's, I would have got confused which one I have already wash!
All look awesome!
 
I bet Bradley slept good last night! I know I did!

Wore out!

How do you like the Armor Tire Combo?
Did you use anything specific on the Bug's roof?

The Armour combo is great! Very clean looking shine. I plan on using the Ragg Topp kit I got from AG at DF. I hear it pretty easy to use and gives good results.
