  • Dodge Ram Quad Cab

    I did a neighbors Dodge Ram. He's getting out the Navy and needs to ship the vehicle and it needs to be clean before it gets shipped. I had no idea what I got myself into This truck was huge!! I learned the hard way, but it's gonna cost more next time!

    As most of you may know, me and Lake Country Backing Plates for the rotary just dont mix!! I had my third one before I started this truck. I got the scratches that I needed to get out, out, but that was it! I had to track down another. I went with the Megs W64 (love it!!!)

    The truck had so many waterspots!! Glass and Paint!

    Process:
    Exterior:
    *Washed with CG citrus wash
    *Clayed with Clay Magic blue clay and ONR lube
    *Rotary|LC orange pad|m105 to get the scratches out. Followed with Full Throttle.
    *The M105 was drying up way too fast, so I switched to Ultimate Compound. Very great product and long work time! Key for a rotary!
    *Selaed with Rejex
    *Exterior Trim and wheel wells touched up with Megs Trim Detailer
    *Hawaiian Island Shine Waterspot Remover for glass and areas I couldn't get with the rotary.
    *Hawaiian Island Shine Chrome and Glass polish to get the spots out of the rear view mirrors and to do the chrome.
    *Eagle One Foam spray (2x) paired with a Megs GC Tire Brush to clean all of the red dirt off the tires
    *Black Magic Tire Shine for the Tires (didn't have enough Tuf Shine for 2 coats on each tire)

    Interior:
    *Special APC for cleaning with either a horse hair brush or Megs Interior Brush
    *Megs NXT Trim Protectant
    *Stoner Glass Cleaning Foam for all the glass

    total time: ~23hrs spread over 3 days because of rain
    whew, now the pics Im done typing, so Ill do my best to keep them in order.

        The reflections were really good.

            I feel for you... big trucks just seem to go on and on but it is well worth it in the end. Great job.

                  Thanks. I wanted to get better pics, but had to focus on getting it done. I noticed I didnt get a follow up pic to the scratch and scuffs, but I did get all of them out.

                  Indeed they are! I was looking out the window this morning and saw the truck. Just gleaming!

                  Man, claying it was no joke! Applying the Rejex wasn't too bad, but I notcied I missed a few spots after wiping, so I had to go back over it in a few spots.

                  I thought at first I wrote too much, but explaining helps some people.

                      oh, sorry about the XMT product. Got it for free and posted this up on another forum
                      Do not use it with a rotary! It dries up super fast! I think it's more for a DA.
