Detail of my Ram quadcab

[MustangMikeFL]

So I gave my wife's Ram a full detail today. Process was as follows:

-Wash with Dawn using two bucket method
-Clay using Meguiar's Claybar
-M105 and M205 the hood to work on some pretty bad scratches
-M205 the whole truck on a CCS Orange pad using my PC
-Meg's NXT 2.0 sealant
-Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro
-Meg's Hot Shine spray on the tires
-Full Vacuum and wipe down and dressing of the interior

before, it was hard to capture how dirty it was:

after washing and claybar:

after buffing, sealant and dodo (The sun finally came out a little bit)

after tire dressing and wheel cleaning

(Excuse the front bumper, the previous owner neglected it and it's totally screwed from lovebugs and rock chips, I gotta get that piece repainted).

Unfortunately it's been real cloudy here today, if the sun comes out I'll snap some more pics.

I wasn't really getting the warm fuzzy feeling when I first started looking at your pictures, and then I realized the wheels were dirty. Something just looked "off" to me and when I stumbled onto the cleaned/dressed wheels and tires it hit me.

Looks REAL good once the wheels are cleaned!

Yeah I'm waiting for the clouds to part so I can get some sunny pics of the finished product. You're right though clean wheels and tires make or break a detail sometimes.

As I was uploading these pics I forgot that I haven't posted any pics of the my TA yet, here's a few after I detailed it right after Christmas. It's a 98 and the paint is in pretty good shape considering it's age. It's full of RIDS and has some clear coat peels but it still turns heads.

this is an awesome reflection shot off the hood

this was all done with the same process as listed above but I did give it a full m105+m205 job.

Here's a couple more of the TA taken with my Iphone 3 so it's a bit blurry
