Just gotta keep going is all, And learn from folks that give a crap and hold a higher standard than most, Like yourself, and some others on here.

I am horrible at taking after shots. But there were a couple in here

I’m all ears for suggestions

That’s all going to be in your second step. Acid wont clean it. I’m just messing with you though it’s really no big deal. I just really really like to see them black on black

I want mine to look that way.

I will say, I was happy as a pig in ■■■■ though with the fleet prep. I never got my aluminum to brighten the way it did last night. And the bugs melted off without using the bug soaker. Extremely happy

New account I got a few weeks ago. 5 trucks, 5 trailers. In and out in 3 hours.

What soaps are you using? You don’t brush right? Just upstream and rinse

Are you asking Harrison or me?

@pressureguy uh oh I see some boo boo’s on the passenger side mirror and on the visor. You better get back out there!

Congrats on the new acquisition partner!

I thought that was you that posted. I need coffee this morning before getting on the interwebz

I’m using supersonic + filmfighter with the 2-step gun. Didn’t have to brush at all on this account but sometimes I have to.

Yeah yeah visor shmizor

Yup, I always do my best to not give advice at this hour.

I found this lightweight 8’ aluminum brush handle at Lowe’s and it worked great until this past weekend when the plastic piece snapped off in the brushhead
