Joe,

That is some very impressive work, in a very impressive amount of time. This is proof of how versatile yiu and your business are. Wether its a 56 Chevy Stepside, or a fleet of County School Buses, your willing to tackle it, and with superb results. There was truely no foo-foo fluffing going on here. Everyone looks hard at work! Glad you worked out a good crew. Also, the idea of using a bug sprayer to apply the dressing was brilliant!

I think the words Awesome work have become synonymous with Superior Shine.

Awesome work as usual Joe,

wow wow wow

Awesome work Joe!

Great plans and as we found out you had to make some quick modifactions to those plans. I would never have thought to use a wool pad on the PC. Shows what experience can do for you.

You da man Joe!!!!!

Wow!!!. That is a lot of work to complete in three days. The Crown supercoaches are probably the oldest in the fleet of buses which you detailed, as the Crown went out of business in 1991.

Excellent work from you and your crew. Now go rest, so we can see more pictures of the cool cars you normally detail. Any other interesting projects coming up?

No wonder there arent any G100's available

They are backordered for two weeks now

LOL, JK. Nice job, You did all those buses in 3 days?

I've been waiting anxiously to see this, very impressive!!

Also, I will no longer gripe about the size of my truck, I cannot imagine waxing something off of a scaffold!!!

After three long hard days we had a fleet of well protected buses that had finishes that were much improved.

What a sence of satisfaction. I had a great crew with me and even though we were tired we were proud of the work.

After -

[Superior Shine]

We used Hyper dressing on the tires. It was applied with a two gallon bug sprayer. We mixed it 1:1.

[Superior Shine]

We allowed the buses to drip dry. Once dry we started the waxing.






Here is MOL's "Djmigs" or Miguel trying out a rotory on the roof of a bus. We found out that the PCs were the way to go.

[Superior Shine]

We needed to get these vehicles CLEAN! After washing one bus I realized it wasn't coming out very clean.

I came up with the idea of adding super degreaser to the soap mix we used to wash the buses with. That conbo worked out excellent.

[Superior Shine]

The plan I came up with was to use 12 people armed with PC dual action/ G100 polishers with 8 inch wool pads to apply Meguair’s #20. I felt that #20 would be an excellent choice because it is a polymer sealant that has a pretty good degree of chemical cleaner in it. I hoped that in addition to getting protection that the appearance of the finish would be improved by the cleaning action of #20.

I bought 10 brand new dual action polishers and nine gallons (36 bottles) of #20. The pads we used were 3M (which I didn’t care for too much). The scaffolding was rented and I already had everything else in my arsenal.

[Superior Shine]

Some of the faded ones had a finish that would rub off onto to your hand or a rag. Some serious cleaning would be needed but we only had time to “one step” the buses.

[Superior Shine]

We recently had a request to wash and wax a school bus fleet of 36 school buses. This job is much different than work I normally do but I love a challenge. To get up in the morning and to do something a little bit different would be fun.


I had a few problems I needed to find solutions for first.

1.The single stage paint on the buses ranged from pretty nice to faded. What type of product would be most beneficial?
2.How do I clean and wax them? What equipment would I need to do the roofs, sides and front and back?
3.We had three days to complete the job. How many do I need to complete per hour?

A fleet of DHL vans.

I look forward to your write-up.
