Special Project II - Warning lots of pictures

WOW! Awesome job, and a HUGE job!! That truck is gleaming. All that chrome too! They'll be proud to drive that truck around. Screw the flashing lights.....the reflection of the sun would be enough to warn anyone they're coming! LOL
 
Love the shine on the red. I take it you used the ladder in this pic.

pirex - I'm glad you liked it my friend, oh I had lots of fun detailing this one. It's funny because as I was detailing I just had a big grin in my face through out the entire detail hahahahaha, just couldn't help it I was having so much fun hahahaha. Oh but the best part was putting the wax on it, man that was a blast hahahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed the write up bro, I played around a bit with the format but it turned out nice. About the Optimum, I'll see if Larry will join in and comment on the tip he gave me, I don't want to stile his thunder. If he dosen't join in, then I'll tell you the tip he gave me.

Brandon1 - Thank you, glad you like it. I was chatting with my friends partner and he was telling me the same, that most fire department keep these vehicles for a long time but will hardly ever get detailed like this. It's shame becuase they aren't cheap to begin with and man when they are detailed they look incredable. Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed it.

joe.p - I was thinking of you and Al when I detailed, since you guys were having BBQ ribs ;). No sir, no job to big for me. Always love a good challenge. Haven't backed down from a challenge yet and hoping that I never will. Glad you liked it my friend. hahaha what can I say joe, I've made some good friends ;)

dengood1 - Oh I got cha now..lol...yea I look back and it's a blur now lol..had way to much fun with this one hahahaha.

Al-53 - Thank you Al, I'm glad it get's the experts approval. Oh the arms, hahaha yea the arms felt it.....a....bit ;). Jet Airliner :eek: now that's a challenge...give me a week and I can do it :D

Reddwarf - Yup, every inch of that bad boy clayed. Went though quite a bit of Ricardo Clay. The fron was the worst part oh and the roof man was tough. I literally was on the rough and was very carfull not to damage anything up there. Oh and the roof finished the first have of the clay bar, the clay pulled metal flakes, so when I saw that I decided to just through the one I was using out and then get another piece out...then had to through that one out too.

CalgaryDetail - Yea, shame we couldn't hook up buddy. But this wont be the last one I do ;). Yea, I'm satisfied with the LSP choice. I could really notice the difference. Glad you like it and thank you for the kind words.

alban61 - hahaha yea if the lights dont get people attention the reflection of the sun or the reflection of there vehicle as the truck goes by should get some attention hahahaha. It's a shame though, there is still some mechanical work to be done to it so who knows if it's going to get dirty again. I told them to try to keep it clean lol but both my friend and his partner were very pleased Im the MAN

bill walsh - Thank you for the kind words, lol...yup it has some large panels :D glad you liked it.

Jimmie - Oh yea it was glowing, to bad I couldn't get it out side and take a picture. That picture, no. No latter on that one, just me standing in front of it. Glad you liked it jimmie.
 
Carlos..too cool man..too cool..what did you use to clean the diamond plate?
 
Can't say anything that hasn't already been said...AWESOME!!
 
07ImpalaSS - Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

richy - Thank you richy, well I used a combination of P21S Polishing Soap and soap and water, Meg's Gold Class and white or black ShMITT. P21S Polishing Soap is a very sweet product but it's not meant for anodized parts and some parts where anodized and others weren't on this vehicle, that's the information I got from the manufacture of the vehicle. So I used P21S Polishing Soap on the areas that were not anodized and regular soap and water on the rest.

Rey05 - Thank you, glad you liked it.
 
Wow that looks cool, must have been fun detailing that fire truck. THanks for the abundance of pictures :D. The wheel wells look good, especially since they're painted. I wish all wheel wells are painted Gah your hand looks pretty burnt from the squeezing of the drying towel, I hate it when that happens. It sucks finding out what sort of important tools you have available AFTER you do a detail. I kept wishing I had a leaf blower and I never knew my dad had one until my friend saw it in the garage, it was right smack where I can see it easily :p.
 
Very Very Nice Nica !! You have about the best attention to detail I've ever seen. Nice write up and thanks for product action shots!
 
klumzypinoy - lol..glad you enjoyed the pictures buddy, I surprise my self on the amount of pictures I take. Well the thing is that my picture skills aren't that great so I just take a bunch and go home go through them and delete the bad ones and keep the best ones..lol if any hahahaha. Oh yea I wished vehicles had painted wheel wells but thena gain can you imagine the amount of rock chips lol. Yea, I know what you mean about find the tools when you really need them. As I was driving back home that day, I couldn't open my hand becuase it would bleed a little. Not a big deal, hand is back to normal now ready to go again this weekend ;). Thank you for the kind words.

ehuth1 - Thank you for the compliment my friend, means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoyed it oh and the product action pictures I thought would be great seeing as I rave so much about these products :D glad you enjoyed it.
 
I have nothing to complain about your picture skills, none are blurry and I don't see any fingers blocking the lense LOL. You're right, rock chips in those wheel wells would actually be brutal, and there would be lotsa rusting...that would be bad! It's good your hand is getting better, maybe you can put microfiber towels around your hands while you wring out the drying towel, well I'm not sure if that would work :p.
 
Bulla2000 - Thank you Bulla, glad you enjoyed it my friend. Glad it gets your blesings bro ;)

klumzypinoy - lol...yea I remember I took some picture of fingers on the lense when I first started taking picture hahahaha. Yea, you wouldn't want rust to start at the lower end. I actually tried using my shirt to cover my hand and then wring the guzzler it helped but perhaps a microfiber would be better, softer. Nice tip, I'll keep that in mind in case this ever happens to me again, I blame it on the desk job I got...lol...na no complaints here :D.
 
Nica - Haha so you did block the lense on some pics, I'm sure I have done that a few times. One time I forgot to even Hopefully the "microfiber towel on your hands" trick works! Yeah, we should blame our jobs for everything, like not giving us enough money :D
 
klumzypinoy - lol...well the money thing I can't complain about hahahaha :D. Oh and about the pictures, to be honest it wasen't till I started posting pictures here that I actually cared how well the pictures turned out lol and now I'm looking to get a better camera, but I'll take my time re-searching cameras.
 
dang Nica that is one hoss of a truck there!!! I didn't think they had trucks up there that big. I just got back from VAYCAY and thurs I got another 40ft rv!! awesome job on the fire truck, you done canada proud!
 
Nica - All you need is good lighting and no finger in front of the lense :p and also keep your hands still. That always satisfies me :D hahah. I think the pictures were great though.
 
Dust - Thank you for the compliments bro, means alot to me. Oh and wait till you see what else I got coming up ;)...:D :D :D. Hope the holidays were good buddy, glad to see back here bro.

klumzypinoy - lol...yea but I like seeing my fingers on the lense hahahaha joking, thank you for for the compliment buddy.
 
HAhah..it's more of an eclipse than a finger, u can barely see anything when ur finger's blocking the lense :p
