School Bus Detailing - Bates Detailing - Nashville Tn

[Bates Detailing]

Hey AGians,


I know this isn't the most amazing video posted on AG but I slapped this together to show the before and after of a bus we did. There are still a few areas that need work, but for the most part this is how we turn around buses! Thanks for looking and any comments are welcomed!

Thanks man - We did 3 of these all with different tools and different products, all came out about the same though lol. Wasn't trying to test any tools or products, was more of a "hmmmm which polisher do I want to use this time???" LOL. For this one I think we used the following:

Rupes - w/rupes yellow pad and finished with rupes white pad
Ardex Heavy cut compound
Optimum AIO polish/sealant - can't remember the name of it :/
We washed with soap and water - don't know what kind of soap :/

Im really bad with product names guys - seriously I make any product work for me..... whatever is within reach at the time I will grab and apply to make a nice shine :dblthumb2:

Daaayyyuuummmmmm.... rops:

Thanks man lol - we do quite a few buses a year..... I've already invoiced over 100 jobs with this company since beginning of Jan, and probably 20 or so of those are school buses. You'd be surprised how far the detailing industry spans outside of auto! :buffing:

Great job, Anthony!!rops:

Makes me wish I would have had this to ride back and forth in, when I was still wet behind the ears.

I wonder if this bus was painted with "safety-yellow" DuPont Imron?

Killer job Anthony.

You are the expert in oversized detail jobs. Love that you have found a market in bringing buses back to life (and you have been for a while).

Hope all is well.
