construction vehicles

Was wondering if anyone could help? I was asked to clean some construction equipment, a crane, a dump truck, a flat bed, a utility truck, 22ft box truck, two backhoes, and two bobcats. All are not too dirty, they are mainly wanting the haudralic fluid cleaned from them.
I have tried my all purpose cleaners on trucks before and know how long it could end up taking if I tried them here, since this is not my normal work. Was wondering if anyone uses any zep products on equipment like this, and what you think of them? I am still waiting on getting my burner fixed and also like to know if cold water will be efficient (I plan on having the burner fixed)?
Last, I would like to ask what would be fair pricing? I was kinda waiting till I checked out the prices on the chemicals from zep, before I even came up with something myself. I owe this guy a favor, but don't want to get burned and do it for nothing. I attached some pics of the equipment from across the street (The box truck used to be mine). Thanks in advance........Andy

Get the burner fixed and then wash them with a more aggressive soap. Something that has NaOH in it. (look at your MSDS) From what I saw they do not look terrible. As for pricing, it depends on you. I hate giving prices to people, I do things faster than most and am willing to throw multiple people at the project. I would think that you could wash the crane in about 20 minutes and the box truck in about 15. I hope this helps.

I've used Zep before,they have good products,as one of the salesman what product for hy.eqt.,you can use it on the trucks to.

I'm like Scott on pricing but from the looks the box truck 25,,the backhoe 45,,cann't see the rest good enough to gave price.

If you use a Alkaline soap add a little degreaser to it for the hy.eqt.

Man dat fish is driving me nuts,I haven't got to go yet,,,to many pokers in the fire..I know I've missed the first spawn but but but but

Scott, Thanks now,I can get a good estimate of my time it "should" take and come up with something. My basic cleaner does contain some NaOH. Thinking it might be alright used with heat. I wish I knew how many hours I've wasted not having it working.

BigBoy, I am interested in trying a few Zep products, Are there any that you would recommend. I was kinda wanting to see if anyone has tried some kind of bug emulsifer, and like a hot wax that would work for vehicles and siding? If there is anything else I should try I would be interested too.

Oh yea, I went down south about an hour away yesterday, and cold front killed the fishing. Just when they were getting active. Caught about a dozen crappie, but it was a long day.

Its hard to say,what works for me may not work for you.

I've used Zep 4358,its ok and it smells good.

Used Zep T'N'T,its ok, gets the bugs a little better.

Used Zep Dynamite,its ok.

Used Concentrated Zep Rinse wax,its ok,good shine,,it beads,,I like sheet wax.

Used Big Orange,its ok,good for adding for smoke.

Sounds good, Just want to try a few different things and like you said, See what works for me. Thanks...

I used to use mostly live bait, but I been fishing with one of them guys that really piss you off by always catching everything when you can't get a bite, and he's been turning me on to lures lately. So I guess whatever will work. Like to fish for cat, but I'll try catching whatever is biting.
