What polish do you use? I’m not going to a show so it doesn’t need to be like a mirror but would just like a decent polish that’ll make it shine up a bit

white diamond 
peek polish, its works great and you can get a tube the size of a toothpaste tube for £4 at most truckstops as far as I know.
Plain and simple T Cut will bring it up nice, do it every day for a week.

I find a good ■■■■ works after a couple of pints the night before.
Here’s a housewife style tip though.
Watch out for certain Trucknet users photographing you while applying this technique to put it up as a post on here (especially if on an msa 
)
Real answer… none, life’s too ■■■■■■ short 
.
Never had you down as a ‘Tank polisher’ Orangeboy 
, or is this some kind of Tankpolisher amnesty
Brillo pad then white diamond.
I’ve just bought some T Cut metal polish for mine 
Tanks are supposed to be camouflaged not shiny.

Pride in the job maybe

With a shiny tank pride in the job would imply that your job is cleaning. If I had been a driver owner then maybe a shiny tank would be seen as looking after my investment.
However as a truck driver pride in the job for me meant getting the load to the customer on time without upsetting other road users, no damage, coming home with a clean licence and giving the customer a good impression of the company I worked for.
A shiny tank never quite did it for me, but whatever floats your boat.

I fail to see how having a shiny tank implies your job is cleaning the tanks

Well I think he explained it perfectly it’s just you that failed to understand.
Matey said it was to do with pride in his job, SC went on to say that would only apply if his ‘job’ was a cleaner, and seeing as his job was a driver went on to explain what pride in a driving job actually is.
Hope that helps.
■■■■ me, it’s like pulling teeth

i think it’s quite hard doing hundreds of clicks, polishing your tank holding the steering wheel
When I’m on a shift with plenty of down time, I dont mind doing a bit of something, I’m getting paid and it passes a bit of time on

That’s ok mate , each to his own,…but look upon it like walking around in sussies and stilletoes, don’t let anybody see you as they will take the ■■■■.
I had a weird moment of considering doing this to my tank as ive been banned from ■■■■ for a week due to an empty sack.
Given up on the odea now though as a new truck is on the cards but nowt wrong with a bit of vigourous polishing now and again.
Also saw a truck with frillies and considered getting them for mine but its a slippery slope, be bloomin chrome wheel rims next if I aint carefull.

We know you use that cat for all sorts of dubious activities, but don’t be using it to buff your tank, it’s not big and it’s not clever, give the poor bloody thing a break man.
