Having washed the solid waste trucks, trash trucks and garbage trucks (many different names depending on who you talk to) for over 3 years now, it is another animal to wash.
Regular tractors are one thing but it is amazing how trash and dirt can get into every little crevice there is.
It is nice to get the garbage trucks looking nice again, clean and shiny like almost new again, it is amazing on some of the trucks how they were and now they are clean and shiny.
Some of the fleets are washed weekly, some are every 2 weeks and some are monthly. I have a fleet that is washed every 10 weeks or so, so it takes me a little bit longer than if they were washed more often but we also wash under the cab, box and degrease the frame rails, engine, etc....almost a detail wash but not totally.
If you are looking to get into trash truck, garbage truck or solid waste truck washing, you will need hot water, a good degreaser, good soaps, aluminum brightener, good brushes, poles, rags, etc...... to get the job done.
These kind of trucks are different to wash when you are washing under the box and cab, that will take a lot longer than a regular exterior wash.
