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.

Beautiful job. I know what you mean about trucks, I did my dads BLACK ford Excursion (biggest SUV ever) and it kicked my ***!

Could you explain what you mean about the backing plates? I searched a bit but didn't find you refer to them anywhere else. Just wondering if you had the same problems I have had.
 
haha, sorry, i copy and pasted from another local forum Im on. I went through 3 of the lake country backing plates and they didn't hold up well. Switched to the Megs and have been happy since.



Man, an excursion?! that is huge!!! and black?! wow, good on you! haha
