I think the box graphics look great. Not a big fan of the cab graphics. Personal preference though.

That is so funny, I was just thinking the other day why no one with a wrap does not turn the van or truck inside out.

passenger side tank is hydraulic oil. this truck was built by petersen mfg.
its hydraulic motor driven through the pto. the tank on the back driver

side is blower silencer. The blower and the hyd. motor are mounted

underneath the box to the truck frame. You might be able to make it out

in the pics from the back. im trying to think of a simple way to dress those up besides paint.

I really like the box graphics...but the cab graphics don't seem right to me.

I really don't get that part of it.

there is not much to get. I wanted something
different than a white cab. We started with a
light blue to black fade and ended up with the blue swirl.
For some reason in pics it shows up brighter blue than
in person. The darker splotches in the pattern are much
deeper blue in person.
The randomness of the pattern also helps to hide the inevitable
wrinkle from the curves and such on the cab part.

Thanks for the compliments. Im very pleased with the way
it turned out. I understand the difference in taste among people
so im in no way offended. If it makes people look and it sticks
in their mind when the time comes to call then its done the job.
Its all about catching peoples eye and i think it does that far better than a solid color or white cab would.
In the two days ive had it out since it
was done ive gotten alot of calls from
reg. customers just to compliment the
look of my new rig.

On one perspective I think it looks cool. Its going to catch some eye time.

From the other I don't think showing off the interior on the exterior is the best marketing.
The cab looks cool but the lettering is lost.
On the driver's side its sure going to get the message across that you're a carpet cleaner.

Looks eye catching but will anyone but another carpet cleaner know what they are looking at? :)

I dont care what they say compared to the normal hacks that drive their pieces of crap vans around it would blow them away, And I like the blue swirl and my wife likes the blue too she says thats the best part just the white lettering gets a little lost in there. J.M.O.

I think it looks good,even the cab part.If anything...the lettering or something isn't "right" about the cab wrap. Maybe I'll let it sit with me for awhile. The box graphic however,while really nice I personally wouldn't show the rig,I mean the consumer doesn't really care about that aspect of our industry.
Yes,they would want it to look clean,since it is a reflection upon ourselves,company,ect...I just think that space could be put to better use. Like I said though,it still looks good.

thanks for all the compliments and the constructive criticism..lol.
My wife had a teacher friend of hers yesterday ask if i had gotten a new truck.
Her exact words were "man that thing is serious" Ive never
cleaned for this lady and the truck has been running around
town for almost two months now with no lettering on it.

I know there are differences of opinion on the images on
the door. My take on it is that im not trying to promote the
vortex part necessarily. I think its important that people
realize that there is something of substance inside that box.
There are two many furniture,water...etc delivery trucks running around.
ive had many women customers in the past that
understood that there was a BIG machine in my trailer compared
to some other cleaners in town. So I think on some level people
can grasp the equipment side of things.
The bigger reason for the pics on the door is the initial " hey
that truck left its door open" which hopefully gets them looking
at the rest of the lettering. The smaller lettering on the cab doors
is for that up close small car setting beside me at the stoplight that
cant get a full view of the whole truck. It stands out better in person. The blue swirl does
some goofy stuff in pics.

again thanks for the nice words.....and thanks for the
not so nice ones too its always good to hear everybodys opinion

I've seen a few other trucks that have similar pictures on them... I like the look and I too feel it helps to set you apart from the guys with the little entry level units... good or bad it is all about marketing what makes you different!
Of course after you see my truck you may realize I'm a little prejudiced! lol

looks nice

what did it cost

we get the same comments about being serious about carpet cleaning from our customers

helps to keep that little edge that others don't have
