  • 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10, '10 X5

    2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10, 436 miles.

    I corrected it over a year ago with some M80.

    Client drove it to a PDR guy to get a dent pulled, the truck ended up getting driven through the rain and collected a lot of dust.

    Before:




    I foamed the wheels, tires, and wells with Deep Crystal Car Wash, then sprayed them down with All Purpose Cleaner and agitated with various brushes then rinsed.

    I lightly foamed the paint with some Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner on a lighter setting.

    A five gallon bucket of water and a grit guard with a couple oz of solution were used as well to rinse and clean the mitt.

    Meguiars white wash mitts were my wash media.

    I then pulled it in the garage and dried with WMs.












    I gave the paint a dry brush and vac. I used my new mini shop vac since my big wet/dry vac was not needed.

    I applied some Quik Interior Detailer to all the hard surfaces and leather.

    Jambs were wiped out with Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1

    I dont know what the deal with the seat rails is, they have some sort of rust proof coating that looks like rust on them? I played with it a bit and it appears it is supposed to be there. Might look into this a little more for the owner though.












    I spot polished some areas on the bumper with #205 - Ultra Finishing Polish and my G110. I then went ahead and sealed the paint by hand with a durable coat of #20 - Polymer Sealant.

    Tires and wells dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.

    Glass cleaned inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    The bed of the truck was wiped down with some water and a standard microfiber.






















    =============================

    2010 BMW X5, 3k miles.

    Client's wife wanted her BMW cleaned up inside and out while I was there.

    Wasnt able to start on it until 4pm since I did their Suburban after the Ram.

    No pics of the Suburban since it was just a basic wash and I had to keep moving. It was very dirty as well so it took extra time.





    I washed the wheels, tires, and wells with All Purpose Cleaner, Wheel Brightener, Deep Crystal Car Wash, and various brushes. I also foamed them with the DC soap.

    I foamed the truck with several oz of NXT Generation Car Wash and several oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner.







    Pulled it in the garage and dried it with some WMs.

    I then did a dry brush and vac on the interior, then applied some Quik Interior Detailer to the inside.

    I applied some Ultimate Quik Wax to the paint and wheels to boost the existing coat of NXT.

    Tires and wells dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.

    Glass cleaned inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    I applied some Quik Interior Detailer to the exterior trim.

    The jambs were wiped down with Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.


    Sorry, only a couple pics. It was almolst 9pm by the time I was done and I had been there since 5:30am.

    Very nice work Nick. Not a swirl on either car.

    I find that using LT at 1:1 works much better than full strength. No matter how much or little I use at full strength, I am always left with residue. At 1:1, it wipes away clean without any streaks and still has plenty of lubricity to be a QD.

      Good work as always Nick.....setting the standards!

      I'm kinda curious as to how one would manage to get a dent with less then 500 miles on the clock......then get rained on when it is out for repairs? Must be some pretty bad luck!
      What....no engine pic of the SRT-10??

        Great work, once again, Nick. Both vehicles look great.

        I had to do a double take on the ram. I know it is a typo. You stated you dry brushed the paint. Leave it to you to discover a new technique.lol.
        Just kidding you, buddy. Keep up the great work.

            Ha ha. That's funny.

            Nick got me again on the title - 10" X5. That's read as 10 inch X5. We all know its suppose to be '10. He's done it before and both times I was thinking, "What?"

            A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

              I like your clients taste in vehicles. SRT-10... pure madness.

              Nice work Nick.

              Are all those trophies auto related?

                Thank you.

                I am low on LT.

                Might go back to #34, I like it better.

                Thanks.

                Not sure how it happened. It was just a little blemish on the door.

                Didnt manage to get a great shot of the engine, I could next time I am there though.

                Yep, a typo indeed.

                Maybe if one of the mods strolls in here they can fix it for me.

                          They are pretty specific about their mistake they give the color break downs for all three years. I'm easy... 2 years it is then
                          The point being this is an awesome truck, that was limited production. Those who own them are privileged.

                          If I could afford one, I'd own one in a heartbeat. Our roads are pretty beat up so a sport pick-up makes sense compared to a low riding sports car. I see so many low vehicles with severe lower body damage. They look cool for about a week.
