A local tar plant had an accident two weeks ago. They had trouble finding someone who would step in and help clean up their employee's vehicles. I was the third detailer they contacted, saw the potential, and immediately made arrangements to meet with them and see the vehicles. I submitted my quote, and they approved. (although I later found out I was the only one they had contacted that was even willing to tackle these)
They had a pipe rupture, which ended up raining tar on everything, including the vehicles in the parking lot. Two of the trucks will be totaled and you will see them below. The rest I have been getting too on my days off from my normal job. Still looks like I will have 3 weeks of constant detailing left. In total, there were 25 employee vehicles, 3 company trucks, 1 stake body delivery truck, and 2 semi tractors that were affected. Looks as though I will end up detailing roughly 24 of these with the semi tractors being a strong possibility. I should also note, this tar is missing the key substance that makes it solidify and solid, so it stays sticky and greasy...
Detail plan consisted of:
Pre treat / soak of a degreaser and tar remover solution
Power wash as much off as possible
Degreaser spray down and hand wash
Clay bar followed by a single stage polish
Wax
All products used were from 3D/HD

The first company truck, which is the worst of the ones I will detail:

An employee truck, this was parked beside the previous one and was very rough as well:

I will add more pics to this thread as I get them, but more in depth pictures can be found on my facebook at: facebook.com/rewardingreflections
