I did a wash and Vac on one of my customers trucks.....I did not do a detail yet.....figured I`d post a few pics.... Wheel wells are getting painted black the next time around, so he said do not dress them....
He gets his truck washed every week.....Now his neighbor wants their truck done to...Yea!!!
I have been racking up a lot of work lately.....got a call for 5 full details today!
Enjoy......

Re: Ford Lightning wash and Vac
Have you detailed it before? It looks really wet for silver and the interior looks to be very well dressed. Couls just be the camera though.

Re: Ford Lightning wash and Vac
I did a few extras with it. I waxed the jambs, dressed the interior, and added a few special touches to the paint....
He enjoyed it. All in all, it took an hour. Took 2 hours to get out of there because everyone kept stopping asking for cards. I did pick up his neighbors black Dodge Ram for a wash on Thursday. Maybe a weekly customer like the Ford.
Thanks Greg...glad you are doing well yourself.

Re: Ford Lightning wash and Vac
Very nice. That color is hard to get to shine really well so Great job. My hood is almost identical to his. He has the first version i have the newer version of the same hood. I like his wheels also.

Re: Ford Lightning wash and Vac
I am impressed with an hour wash. Even more impressed that it took an hour handing out cards for future jobs!! Good to hear!!
God Luck!!

Re: Ford Lightning wash and Vac
Good job.. that lighting looks great.. I have a quick question though..
How when washing did people driving by know it wasnt your car.. like how do you advertise that your a business in your own driveway?

Re: Ford Lightning wash and Vac
He has a small trailer with all the goodies on it for washing, so thats probably how they noticed.
