nice work! how long did that take you? And how'd you polish around the emblems?

 

[haris300]

Great work Mike. Huge difference on the wheel wells and tires. That silver paint really pops now too.

That truck must be a real head turner in Germany!

Thank you sir!

MF wrapped around a finger for intricate work.

Thanks Harris. Yes sir. That area really stands out now. Not to mention the paintwork.

Excellent work as always!

Thanks Ian!

It surely is. I don't think it ventures off base much. I can imagine it doesn't do to well on some of these smaller German roads.

Outstanding work Mike! That was a beast to clean up

Thanks Kyle! It was a beast! Was nice to be able to stand up right when polishing the truck. The roof on the other hand was not so fun to do.

As always beautiful work!!

Thank you CJ!

Great work! That TP&S looks like it works well

Thank you! It works fantastic.

Very good work Mike, thanks a lot for sharing.

Thank you Raphael.

No problem. Your not missing anything. Just a blank plate that I made up years ago while working in a body shop. Every now and then I will display it.

Yeahhhhhhh buddddyyyy look at that sexy beast now

Yes sir!!!! Head turner for sure!!!

Great work Mike. That thing is a monster...

Thanks Pat.

I had the opportunity to drive it around the corner on pick up and delivery and it felt like driving a house on wheels compared to my lowered BMW.

Fantastic job as usual. That beast is popping. Looks better than new.

Question, kind of surprised by the amount of corrosion/rust in the front wheel wells near the shocks. What does the owner attribute that too?

That's a great looking Chevy truck Mike!

At least it's great looking now!


Seriously, cleaning large vehicles like trucks and suvs requires a lot more time, energy and perspiration. If for no other reason than due to the extra real-estate you have to address. The wheels and tires also tend to be a lot larger and thus require more work to properly get clean.

One thing for sure, detailing a truck like this is a good work out!


Nice job!

I was surprised by that as well. I haven't talked with him about it but purely speculation on my part says going all winter season long without pressure washing out the undercarriage.

Thank you good sir! :iagree:

No kidding Mike. This is the largest vehicle that I have completed and it was a challenge. Much different to work on than the smaller vehicles I am used too. I had to bring out the step ladder to get to various areas of the truck.

Talk about a pain in the butt to dress the tires around the sidewall lugs.

Thank you James!

Bravo!!!

Great work sir! Saw this on your FB page over the weekend. I thought cleaning my wifes 4dr 1500 Silverado was a workout!
