Re: SEMI transport truck pointers
By your description of it, it sounds like it needs completely reconditioned and not just lightly polished.
Sure, he wants to pay for a light polish but sounds like he needs a whole lot more.
I do a lot of commercial vehicles but don't have time right now as I'm on my way out the door.
I'll subscribe and help where I can as I get a little time.
Vegas Transplant is the forum guru on the big rigs. Hopefully he'll chime in and give you a hand.

Re: SEMI transport truck pointers
Removing adhesive residue can be very difficult. you need heat and solvent. Hopefully u can work in a warm space. Car pro also has a product. As for polishing I'd try a heavy duty one step with an abrasive. A rotary with a large foam pad may be faster.

Re: SEMI transport truck pointers
You need to look at the one your going to be working on first off>
looking at the pics of the one you posted that you already service you should have a idea of what your working on.
most of those rigs are made of Aluminum and are uber thin (paint) and I mean thin........an AIO is in order.
I will say that Vegas Transplant has the most experience with the big stuff and I always look to guidance....he can help you a lot. Reach out to him Via pm......I'll send him one myself with a link to this thread. He has been on here the last few days......maybe he will chime in ( but I know he is on the road most of the time)
There are so many products that can be used and get very good results.....but if you let us know what you have to work with on hand we can help a little more.

AIO = All In One, or a Cleaner-Wax.
