2011 Dodge Ram

This vehicle was just purchased and the owner wanted to get the swirls out of the clear and have the vehicle sealed.  When I arrived to detail the truck I didn’t see any swirls so I decided to foam the vehicle down with P21S TAW to stripe the vehicle of any glazes or waxes that it may of have had on it.  After the vehicle was foamed and washed I was able to see minor swirls and some marring throughout the paint.  So I went ahead and proceeded with a 1-step polish fallowed by sealing the vehicle.  I also sealed the wheels to protect the chrome from brake dust.  The reason I choice this process is because this is a daily driven work truck, there no need to give it a show car finish when it will be used for work.

Products Used:

  • Wash – P21S TAW and Meguiars Paint Conditioner
  • Wheels – DP Wheel Gel/ DP Wheel Glaze   
  • Tire – Poorboy’s World Trim Restore
  • Polish – Poorboy’s World Super Swirl Remover 2
  • Machine – Griot Garage DA with 5’’ Backing Plate
  • Polishing Pad – Lake Country 5.5’’ Flat White Pads

Silver Package + Glaze, Headlight Correction

I fully corrected this vehicle a couple years ago.  I got a call from the client again wanted to get the vehicle detailed again.  I suggested for him to get the vehicle washed, clayed, glazed, and wax.  The reason I suggested this is because the first time I correct the car the clear on the plastic pieces of the vehicle had started to fail, I knew I would not correct those piece of the vehicle and felt like he would be wasting his money correcting the vehicle and having the plastic piece look poorly. 

Products Used

  • Wash – Poorboy’s Super Slick Suds + Wax
  • Wheels – DP Wheel Gel
  • Tires – Meguiars Hyper Dressing 1:1
  • Clay – Pinnacle Poly Clay (Green)
  • Clay Lube – DP Rinseless Wash and Gloss
  • Glaze – Chemical Guys EZ Crème
  • Wax – Poorboy’s Liquid Natty Blue
  • Headlights – Compound: Poorboy’s SYN1, Sealant: DP Poli Seal
