KING RANCHED!!!



On Tuesdays I normally do a lot of wash and vacs for a local construction company, but w/ the market sucking right now they had to cut back and I got cut. Oh well, I was able to pick up another Tuesday gig today. I know a lot of you only want to do full correction details, but I do what pays the bills. Of course I would like higher end stuff, but money is money right now. Hopefully I’ll pick up some more details in the future. I’ve only been full time for 6 months now. The company I worked for today puts in underground utilities for large developments. They have a lot of trucks that need cleaned once a week. I convinced them to let me do an express detail job on the three owners trucks today and wash a few others.

The first one is 2007 Black 250 King Ranch:

Process: Wash w/ NXT via foam gun
Tires w/ purple power
Rims w/ meg wheel brite
Polish w/ 106 mixed w/ DG 501 via PC (thanks AL53)
Waxed w/ magic 845
Tires dressed w/ meg hyper dressing w/ spray gun and air
Compressor

I know it’s not as flashing as some of you guys work, but I thought it was pretty cool doing 3 King Ranches in one day. I just got my flex, so hopefully I can get into some more correction jobs.

those are some big-ums, good job Bradley. Better you then me on those trucks, I am getting too old to climb all over those things:D
I'm happy with all my little sporty ones

[lethalxls1]

That is one heck of a Truck!! Great job man! I bet the guys who drive those are happy now that they are spotless. Word will spread and you will have more work then you can handle by the looks of your work. Good luck to you.

Looks like you got a hold of some big boys there...:D
All look awesome, King Ranch is sweet..
Dang, you can mix #601 and #501? Can you explaned that a little more? Or you put down #601 and work the #501 on top?
Is it DG #601 or Menz#106?

Polish w/ 106 mixed w/ DG 501 via PC (thanks AL53)


It's Menzerna 106 Sparkie. IIRC, it's a 75% 106 to 25% 501 mix.

Got it! Thanks! I need to try that...
I've been using 25% Menz Power Gloss and 75% #501.

Sparkie..thats the ratio I use....25% menz and 75% 501...its great for lite marring and swirls...you get the burnishing of menz and the cleaning and protection of 501..

501 has micro abrasives already as I was told...and a chemical cleaner/abrasive too...so the added menz just brings the mechanical abrasive level up a notch..


if you dilute the 501 to much you loose the chemical cleaning it does..since a polish like menz does not deep clean paint it just burnishes the surface...

Oops, looks like I had the ratios backwards. Thanks for the clarification AL.

You made those look outstanding. I've got a K-R next week but he wants it done for the leather mainly so I've got some DG#221 Leather Conditioner on the way.
