  • #21 On Emergency Helicopter

    [B]NXT Wax on Emergency Helicopter

    I purchased the g-100a after doing one of the three helios by hand with NXT. I decided to purchase it for my personal use and ended up doing the another helio using #21. After a few 20+ minute phone calls to meguiars and talking to JOSE, he is the reason this looks so great!! He offered so many tips I had to record the conversation we had and played it back several times before I made the attempt to give it a shot!! Thanks to JOSE these are the results he assisted in!! As director of air division and critical care flight paramedic Im going to purchase a g-100a for the company so we can maintain these better!! Hopefully I can get the guys to do my truck and mustang since I spend most of my time flying, office work, detailing helios, I have NO time for my own vehicles!!

    The pictures are okay in quality.. I have more close ups I will have to post later!! My girlfriend cant take pictures real well, but the one the cop took of us landing is good!

        That's incredible! You definitely need a G100! How do you do the top parts? Bucket truck? Scaffolding? I get tired just thinking about a helicopter detail.

        Do you wax the blades too?

        That looked like a nasty wreck, with two semis and a wide load!

          Those choppers should get better fuel mileage for sure.

          Did you detail the rotors?

          Edit: I see you have the big "M" on it.......Is the hospital related to the university in any way?

            Claying was not fun. Took 4 clay bars and 8 bottles of QD. 2 bottles of Speed Glaze, 1 jug of #21.. We did not use the whole jug, but it got kicked over and spilled what we had left so we tossed it. The outside was FUN compared to cleaning inside with all the switches and ****! I let the pilot do that because I have no idea on what does what in that cockpit. It took about 6 hours with 4 people and a few breaks. We did do the rotors.. they are honeycombed insided so it was safe.. Had to use a ladder and locked the blades so they would not move.

              Sounds like there was a lot of contamination on it!
