we 2 step but always start from the back of the trailer and work our way to the cab ......brushing only when necessary ....
We do most of the above. Like Dave said on certain vehicles we do the top fairings first and let them run off to prevent any soap residue form the roof. As far as directional washing we always start upwind and work our way downwind trying to do the tractors last. Sometimes we 2 step, sometimes we one step, and other times we brush. It just depends on what is necessary to get the vehicle clean. Most important is consistency provide the same level of service every time.
yea there is def many factors when washing a rig especially dealing with the outside elements ... does anyone clean up the inside of the trucks .. like vacuum windows and a good wipe down... i used to own a detail shop and i had a few rigs like dump trucks and even tractors with a sleeper want interiors done as well ... i know fleet accounts arent 2 particular with this but does anyone have any owner operators that want this service..i was also considering on doing polishing but thats a whole other business in itself.....
