Default 3R

Last one before the Ring trip, so made it a good one

Entrusted with 3R, the Roger Clark Motorsport Lorry

No before shots due to time constraints but trust me, it was well weathered and so many dark lines it looked like a zebra its not often we need to put up a tower to do a car

Full decontamination soak
Followed by a fare amount of snow foam
Full body wash & further decontamination
Towel and Hot air dried
Deep Cleanse plastic treatment applied and left to work its magic
Full multiple pass polish
Final seal
Plastic, rubber dressed and sealed
Full glass cleanse and treatment
Wheels polished and sealed
inside cab refresh

The alloy wheels on 3R are untreated forged aluminium so NO TRUCKWASH used at all on any parts of the vehicle, (any acidic products turn unfinished alloy white!!!) and they mark if you look at them wrong

Massive thanks to Doug (sparkycab) for a massive effort yesterday and to Matt and Olly for supplying teas, coffee, lunch

Looking smart, could you not borrow it and a driver for operation 'bring back beer from Germany'?

thanks guys, was certainly a massive effort

Not until we started working on it that we realised how big it is! never looked that big when we've been up to do the cars

We stood back with tea in hand and just admired it when we'd finished, partly because it looked good and partly because we could'nt believe we'd done it
