Hi everyone, I have been super lazy about posting details lately so he is one I finished tonight. It's a 2009 Ram 2500 Diesel that belongs to a friend of mine. He is a heavy machine mechanic and it's his tow rig for his off road buggy. The reason I preface with that is because for this reason perfection, at least on the exterior, was not a priority since he will be driving through the woods in less than a week. So the main focus was getting the interior cleaned up since it was still in pretty good shape, and doing what I could for the exterior without breaking the bank. On to the detail
Products and Procedure
Wheels Cleaned with Sonax (twice), than polished by hand with Collinite Metal Wax
Tires and wheel wells cleaned with ZEP Citrus 4:1 (thanks richy!!!)
Tires dressed with some greasy sh*t the customer provided
Wheel wells dressed with Adams Undercarriage Spray
Exterior Washed with DP Xtreme Foam, heavy deposits sprayed with ZEP Citrus
Clayed with Ubar clay w/ ONR as lube
Paint prepped with Prima Amigo on a Cyan pad on PC
Paint Protected with Prima Banana Gloss (easiest to use LSP ever)
Glass cleaned with Megs glass cleaner
Exterior trim dressed with 303 Aerospace and Adams In and Out Spray
Billet grill and emblems polished and protected with Collinite Metal Wax
Interior vacuumed thoroughly
Floor mats cleaned with ZEP citrus then hot water extracted
Dash and door cards cleaned with ZEP citrus then dressed with Prima Nero
Leather Seats cleaned with Zaino/ZEP Citrus, then dressed with Zaino leather conditioner
This is how it was dropped off to me. Not in too terrible shape from first glance, but this color hides dirt and imperfections well. Believe me when I say this truck was filthy, especial below the body moldings.
Wheels before. These were FILTHY! I used two applications of Sonax and still resorted to polishing them by hand with Collinite Metal polish to remove all the staining. On the bright side though it left a nice protective layer behind.
Here was the only thing on the exterior he wanted to address. Apparently a trailer went crazy at his last even and got dropped on his tailgate. He is lucky this is all the damage that was done. The small scratch in the middle is way too deep to do anything about, he only wanted to try and correct the scuffs at the top.
Exterior Afters
Wheels clean and sealed, tires cleaned and dressed
Scuffs corrected
Truck cleaned and very glossy. I love Amigo!
Now onto the interior
Overall it was very dusty and full of small rocks, leaves, and dirt. Also he had stepped in some grease somewher and gotten it all over his floormat as well as smeared it on the door.
See grease :rock:
He was also very worried about the leather seats and steering wheel since they were getting really dirty. Here are some 50/50 of the seats and wheel
Floor mats got some serious attention. Nasty befores.
Much cleaner afters
