Pressure cleaned multiple units using detergents, applied brightener where needed, and performed a thorough rinse to remove surface residue.
This project involved a recurring, bi-weekly exterior detailing program for Foodliner’s Chattanooga fleet, including day cabs, sleeper cabs, and both wet goods and dry goods tankers. The work focused on maintaining a clean, professional appearance for all units while preserving the integrity of the equipment through consistent, thorough cleaning.
Each service cycle covered all listed units in the rotation, including trucks and tankers under the following IDs:
120205, 123150, 123168, 124075, 124105, 125005, 125029, 125044, 125073, 125076, 125103, 125117, 125133, 125138, and 125159.
For every visit, the process followed a structured, repeatable workflow:
1. **Initial Assessment and Preparation**
Each vehicle and tanker was inspected for road film, residue, and problem areas such as bug buildup, fuel stains, brake dust, or streaking along the tank surfaces. This helped determine where additional product or dwell time would be needed, particularly on high-contact areas and around fittings and access points on the tankers.
2. **Detergent Application and Pressure Cleaning**
A carefully selected blend of detergents was applied across the truck cabs and tanker exteriors. The detergents were chosen to break down typical road grime, organic residue, light grease, and surface contaminants without damaging paint, decals, or metal finishes.
After appropriate dwell time, each surface was pressure cleaned, with attention to:
- Tractor cabs: grills, bumpers, mirrors, steps, wheel wells, and fairings on both day cabs and sleeper cabs.
- Tanker exteriors: barrel surfaces, front and rear heads, ladders, piping, valves, and undercarriage-visible areas.
3. **Brightener Application Where Needed**
On surfaces where oxidation, dulling, or staining were present—particularly on aluminum and metal components—a brightener was selectively applied. This was done on a case-by-case basis to:
- Improve the appearance of metal surfaces on both wet and dry goods tankers.
- Address streaking and light staining without over-treating areas that did not require it.
The brightener use was controlled and targeted, ensuring that only areas that would benefit from the treatment were addressed.
4. **Thorough Rinse and Final Appearance Check**
After cleaning agents and brighteners had done their work, each unit received a complete, high-volume rinse. This step ensured:
- No detergent or chemical residue remained on painted or metal surfaces.
- Even, streak-free results on the tanks and tractors.
A final walk-around was performed on every truck and tanker to verify consistent cleanliness from top to bottom, catching any missed spots such as behind steps, around mud flaps, and under access ladders.
Over the course of the bi-weekly schedule, this process kept Foodliner’s Chattanooga day cabs, sleeper cabs, and both wet and dry goods tankers in a consistently clean, presentable state. The regular attention to detail minimized buildup of road film and residue, protected the finishes, and ensured the entire fleet maintained a professional appearance on the road and at customer facilities.
