    From Faded To Glory, Truck Detail

    Hello there, we recently got an opportunity to detail a straight truck that was very badly faded. He then decided to put it in the Fergus Truck Show which is a fairly big show up here in Ontario for trucks. They give awards to the best truck in each class.

    I found out on Sunday afternoon that he had won his class and even beaten newly painted trucks as well. Its very rewarding when stuff like this happens because its advertising that just simply can't be bought !

    Here are some pictures below of the before after and during. Enjoy !

    Thanks this job was actually done before the boot camp but didn't really stand out to me till he won a trophy,

    You just can't buy that kind of advertising. Any cool jobs since the bootcamp there walter ?

    Thanks raysanni, I'm glad you liked it.

    Excellent transformation on the cab. Did you have to do the trailer too?

    Thanks Bill. We've never done an RV yet, done plenty of semi trucks but an RV sounds like a big job.

    Wax Master. We didn't have to do the trailer. I generally shy away from buffing aluminum as it makes such a huge mess and I like our shop to be as clean as possible so that our equipment doesn't get contaminated.
