Dodge Ram work truck

This work truck belongs to the husband of the Lexus I did a couple weeks ago:

I added a few more after pics to that thread's OP later after originally making the thread.

I'm limited in working time and experience so I'm continuing to stick with only charging for basic one step jobs versus full corrections.

I did not do the interior on this yet.

100k miles of daily driven work duties, lot's of heavy scratching/denting. I was able to bring a little shine back though.













Cleaning up - wash/decon/autoscrub









Inspection





Doin work



I need masking tape that's just a wee bit stickier, didn't like sticking to the bed liner that wrapped around the top edge of the bed.





After Powerlock/Glanz/rain-x windows

















Turned out pretty decent, there's still some heavy swirling but the one step made a nice improvement. My schedule surely wouldn't have allowed me to even try multiple correction steps on this much surface area!

 

Nice work car looks great.

 

Truck looks good buddy! Not sure what products you're using, but if all you have time to do is a 1-step polish, either try Meguiars M105 or Menzerna FG400. Both of this products provide GREAT results fast, and finish down incredibly nice.

 

thanks!

thank you! I actually have m105 and FG400 in my supply...mainly I've been using FG400 and that's what I did on this truck. It did produce great results I just need to fine tune my technique while polishing. I've been slowly improving a little with each car, customers have always been happy with results though, thankfully.

 

That came out great for a 1 step from what I can tell. How much time did you have in that crew cab long box doing the exterior?

 

thanks! I was able to remove a lot of water etching in the clear, that was the cause of most of the dullness in the paint. Took 15 hours start to finish. I started saturday evening until I couldn't stay awake anymore, then woke up early sunday to continue.

 

Great work!! that's a lot of real estate.

 

sure was, thanks! not being able to close the garage behind me was a hassle....had to cancel the job before due to bad weather

 

Awesome transformation, Ram looks 10x better, well done

 

Nice work bigdre

 

thanks folks
