2007 Ken Worth Pumper, Firetruck

[Nica]

Here is another special project. I think that the more special projects I do the less the “special” part becomes. Well the vehicle is a

2007 KenWorth Pumper, Firetruck

This vehicle is brand new, but was driven to Canada from the US so it did not look new, but that’s where I come in. This is now the second fire truck I do so the first one was some what of a pain but this one was quite simple. Well the process was as follows:

Started off with the rims, tires and wheel wells and here is what I was up against






Tools utilized for the rims and wheel wells



Sprayed P21S Total Auto Wash on wheel wells and scrubbed with long brush



Then sprayed P21D Gel to rims



Agitated with my Swissol brush



Rinsed off with Deionized water



I followed the same process for all the rims/tires/wheel wells tires on this vehicle.

Here are pictures of the back tires







Wheel wells after a good scrub

Once the rims, tires and wheel wells were done moved on to the rest of the vehicle. As previously mentioned the vehicle was driven back from the US so it had lots of goodies for me. I rinsed the entire vehicle with Deionized water, once it was completely wet I sprayed the entire vehicle with PoorBoys Bug Squash, then with the two bucket methord, instead of soap I used PoorBoys Bug Squash and went to work with both my white and black ShMITT. Rinsed with Deionized water section by section, when I had made my way around the entire vehicle I rinsed it again with Deionized water.

Apperently during the drive to Canada this light was falling off so duck tape was used to hold it in place. This is what was left after the removal of the duck tape.

After:

Nothing I couldn't handle, well not that I did much I used my red Clay Magic bar and it removed everything. So credit should go to the clay bar not me.

Ha, I remembered to take pictures of the fuel take this time hahahaha

Unfortunetly I couldn’t even put wax on this vehicle because it still needed some work to be done to it. But to satisfy my curiosity I wanted to see the shape of the paint on the vehicle. So I got my 3M Sun Gun out and I was shocked:


Not a single swirl, not bad.

So this was a simple wash (sure doesn’t look like with the amount of pictures I took hahahaha), but I had lots of fun with it.

Oh darn, I just remember I forgot to warn people about the amount of pictures but I'm sure you all know me and my triger happy finger.

As always, feed back (good or bad) is always welcome.

Nica, that is an amazing amount of work. It came out really nice too. So I guess that is the kind of work Fireman do when there's no fire. Maybe you could teach the proper way to clean the firetrucks!

[Tonya]

Wow Nica, great work! That was a hugh job! Love the before and after on the mirror and wheels!

[Nica]

joe.p - thank you for the compliments bro, means a lot to me. Yea I know I'm slow at posting but it's just that I post so many pictues it takes me a wile to pick and choose let alone load them up.

Reddwarf - lol yea perhaps I should teach them how to clean the fire trucks properly but I'm afraid that these vehicles just yet a regular wash here and there. Thank you for the compliment.

Tonya - Thank you for the compliment, as for the size, size don't mean athing to me anymore. The bigger the vehicle the better the challenge, but I've yet to get a grater challenge then the airplane I detailed..now that was a challenge I look forward to another airplane if I'm lucky that is
