Flick The Fire Engine x 3

[smurf]

This was a cool job to do, I was polishing the Kenworth when the owner of the building asked if I could polish a Fire Engine ? .So I did a test spot with M80 and ended up with 3 Trucks to polish out (only a clean up,not a show room finish).
I called in a good friend of mine to help me ,as I was working on the machine he was doing all the hand work .It took us 4 days to do the 3 .
There is still 1 more to turn up which are all going into a Museum
The owner has a International dealership ,Tractors,Haversters etc etc
The Fire Engines only arrived in the country last week













All the chrome ,lights etc etc are still to turn up











And # 3

They look great! It is always fun to detail unique vehicles especially ones where you can make a dramatic difference. When I was detailing full time I got the chance to detail an old fighter plane from the 40's. That was the most fun I have ever had and the change was huge. I will see if I can round up some pictures. Keep up the good work

Hi Peter,

The owner of these trucks is so lucky he found you to restore the paint on these classic trucks versus some hack that may have destroyed them using the wrong chemical and pad not to mention a passion for the craft itself.

When it comes to these older, oxidized single stage paints it's pretty hard to beat M80 Speed Glaze. In fact, there's not really another product on the market with such a long history of successfully restoring neglected single stage paints.

Great work as usual and thank you for sharing the pictures with our members.
