Well this was supposed to be simple day. I was going to do 2 of my weekly clients rides. One was an '05 Land Rover LSE and the other was a '06 Expedition......both black. Just a wash/wax and a coat of wax. (Washed a F-150 as a freebies while there). An easy 300.00 by noon. I was going to call it quits and work on my truck some. NOPE!

I pulled into the drive-thru at Wendys, and got a call while ordering......
"I just saw your truck. When can you wash and wax five vehicles?"

"Uhhhhhh.......what?" was my professional reply.

We met up at his business withing 15 minutes. We decided that I could do 2 today and 3 more tomorrow. We struck a deal and off I went. The insides just got a vac wiped down with DP's Interior Protectant.

Here's the exterior breakdown:
(Both recieved the same process.)

Wash.....
Pinnacle's Bodywork Shampoo
(Washed with EDGE Wash ShMitt and grit-guard enhanced bucket)
Nice shampoo. Very lubricated. More lubricants than cleaners. Then again, I'm used to NXT! Did a good job though on black. No induced marring and did good in the sun on black. No spotting. Dried both rides with one large Guzzler.

Tires, wheels and wells....
Tires and wells got a shot of DP's Exterior Cleaner then pressure washed. Wheel recieved a bath of left over wash water. The wheel were then dried along with a spray of Pinnacle's Crystal Mist. Wells were dressed with No-Touch Wet'n Protect as the tires got a Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire treatment.

Paint......
Simply and only an application of Pinnacle's new Spray Souveran. I cannot brag enough about this wax. I used it in full sun and on black with NO streaking. It left the paint soft.....as soft as any paste wax. My customer's could not tell the difference! One spray per panell is all that was needed.

Here's the pics....
Did I mention that the H2 has 26" rims?
2150.00 per wheel and tire!

Wow five cars just in a phone call, very nice :applause: I'm sure your happy to have the phone number on your truck very good advertising.

I like your response to the pone call hahahaha funny.

Okay, seems like your a magnet to the Hummers buddy, you always seem to be doing a Hummer ;)

I like this picture because of those wheel wells, so clean...and no both of them...okay those rims are sick :righton: I'm sure the ride is suffering but they look cool.

Really enjoy reading your reviews Justin, you do great work and I really like how you share every detail of your detail.

Thank you,
 
Is that a gas station parking lot where you washed???

Do you get a lot of calls for appointments or questions from people who just happen to see your truck? I was thinking about this the other day.
 
VERY NICE WORK! The new business you picked up just goes to show you how important it is to have your truck decals. I can't wait to get my truck done to match my trailer. That much be some spray wax to work that well on black and in the full sun. Any idea on how long it will last? Thanks!

Easily 4-5 weeks. Easy. I have it on 3 test cars as well as my truck. No other QDs are being used.

I'm telling you. This is so easy. Really good stuff.

It was at the edge of the parking lot. The vehicle's owners father own all this land. The building up top and the gas station. It faces a major 4 lane. I booked up next week from just being at this location for 3 hours.

If I hadn't had pulled into that Wendys and had paid to have my truck like it is, I would never have had these results.

Simple but true.

LOL!

There's no sneeking around in my truck. I never thought it would make that much of a difference but I guess it does.

Just do your trailer.

Man immagine curbing those! i dont even like them hahah to big
 
im always trying to find a missed spot or some left over residue, but nope, not on any of Justin's details. oh well... either way, great job.

what do you think about the no touch stuff for wheel wheels? would you use it on your own truck? does it last a while without a mess?

i also noticed that your ranger seems to make it into jsut about every picture, lol.
 
gorgeous job on the wheels, justin! just beautiful!
 
Wow! I like the true reflections of black cars.
 
Love reading your reviews. Amazing that one Guzzler dried them both. Those things are great. Both cars look great.
PS: Don't wear yourself out before the race Sun. (LAS).

So true! Don't we all!!:applause:
 
you are the man Justin. Love reading your posts. I recently paid $60 to letter up my tank and the next day landed a cadillac (BAM) paid for itself. I don't really want to letter up my shiny black truck, heck I'm busy enough :)

Justin you switch up the soaps and wheel wells protectants alot... Which is your fav? Did you get a new generator and pressure washer?

Justin, I'd really like to know as well. Just got a pressure washer and would love to know what you recommend for wells and tires. I'm going to pull the wheels next wash and do em all right. Polish the inside too (they're painted M series)

Have you used your washer as a foamer? Got to experiment with pressure more, but mine does a pretty nice job.
