Default Detailed my 2009 Ram 1500

So, We have all seen dirty Ram's. I wont bother you with the before pix, but I will throw up the results of a very hard day.

Step 1: Wash with Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo
Step 2: Clay with Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay kit (Did not need a very aggressive clay)
Step 3: Wash again with Shampoo
Step 4: Polish with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
Step 5: Glaze with Meguiar's #7 Show Car Mirror Glaze
Step 6: Seal with JetSeal 109
Step 7: Wax with Meguiar's #26 Yellow Carnuba Wax


^the prep















It occurred to me today, just how much surface area there is on this beast. So glad I have a P/C...if I did not, I would be smoked.

Your truck looks great. A lot of work!

A bit OT, but what % tint do you have on it? Thanks..

Great work! I couldn't do that to a truck because I know it will just get dirty again the way I would drive it and use it!
