Thanks. I always try to take care of my vehicles. I traded in a '18 Ram for this one, incentives, pricing for my work and great interest rate made it a viable option. That one was black, I had it almost exactly a year. When I traded it in i was using the same sales person that i had bought it...
Been really short on time so I've been attacking the detailing as I can. Cleaned as much of the polish 'overspray' off the trim as I could, still going to need a bit more work in crevices. Got the white polish residue from the pads off the trim (I learned to tape them off now). Coated everything...
Oh if I only new this before. I bought a truck there last year, black even, and they did their thing without leaving a single scratch or swirl. As a matter of fact the very first time I washed it I put a scratch of my own on it and had to buff it out.
Now all I'm doing is seeing if they will...
They definitely waxed it. I made a point to not wash or anything after I got it so that there were no owner installed scratches before they took it to fix their scratches.
Now that I have it back I'm in for atleast 6 days of non stop rain and the water is beading up great. That's what made me...
I've been reading a lot on here lately and have read the thread and watched the video you posted here.
They will not be touching the truck anymore unless it's for service.
I do have access to an Adam's swirl killer that I am probably going to use. But the Gg6 is on my list of tools to acquire...
I bought a new truck and it got the dealership treatment. I haven't seen swirls so much as scratches. One on the hood where it looks like they scrubbed to get something off, a long swipe on the drivers door, rear passenger fender. Most look pretty light, a couple on the fender look a bit deeper...
Ever since my dad got into detailing as a hobby he would load up a bucket with everything. By the end he'd have stuff set all over the place.
No concrete and chasing shade he would usually end up in the yard so a cart with normal wheels would catch a lot and not roll smoothly, possibly...
Ok... I know this is a really old thread, but as I am very much a novice in auto detailing, I am experienced in most things tech, especially browsers/security/programming (day job). So I can give some info here that at the end of the day isn't going to change your life one bit.
First...let me...
I'm definitely not set on which DA I'll get eventually, just know that I do want to get one at some point.
I'll pick up the megs wash, ironically I use their products for everything but the wash. Never tried it.
When I can finally get a break in the weather to do the polishing and coating I...
I'll get some and test it. I dont think it'll take much to get to a pretty good finish.
Just checked the weather, when I get my truck back I'm in for a solid 4-5 days of rain so coating will be put off until next weekend at the earliest.
Any suggestions on good interior cleaners that can put...
I've always used Meguiar's and I do like it, but I am limited in exposure to other products, especially products you can't find on the shelf at the local auto parts store.
The only reason I was thinking of Dawn was to make sure all oil's and anything the dealership may have applied would be...
Hey The Guz! Thanks for the reply. So I mentioned it in the paragraph but forgot to include it in the Day 1 & Day 2 steps. I do intend to do any paint correction/polish that is needed to remove the swirls added by the dealer. I am hopeful a polish will do the job because there aren't many and...
Too much to ask in a single post? :)
Let me elaborate on what I'm wanting to gain from the ceramic coating. I know it's not going to make my truck impervious to scratches or damage. But I want to make the maintenance as easy and quick as possible so I can keep up with it a bit easier.
As for...
Ok, so I am trying to get more knowledge so I can do better at keeping my vehicles clean and well maintained. I have always washed and waxed my cars, waxing every couple months or whenever I would notice the paint not beading up like it use to. I've used MF towels for a long time but never got...
