Dodge Ram 2500 Picture Heavy

[Reflections]

This Dodge Ram was heavily neglected by the original owner and the second owner wanted to restore (up to 90%) the paint and basically was going to scrap the rims. I was confident I could do the paint correction and change his mind on the rims. Guess we'll see!

Now- time for some afters!

Heavy rock chips from the Mickey Thompson mudders kicking up heavy debris!

Well, enough said here!

Thanks again for looking!

Truck looks great.

Those 33's were dirty, I bet those were fun to clean.

This client was thrilled! I live in an area where these types of trucks are the norm. Took a lot of getting used to working on trucks of these size!

 

[sproketser]

Yep , bigass jobs , but worth it on the end right ! Hope you ll get some work from these other guys as well !

What did you clean the tires with? APC and scrubbing for awhile?:buffing:

Do you get any work from the Air force base up there?

I love the end result. I'm a truck guy too so these jobs are worth while just for the end result. Thanks, I hope so too!

That's exactly right. About 4 complete cleanings worked with the APC. The CG Citrus soap helps to cut oils and grease as well. Luckily there was not a heavy lathering of greasy dressing applied previously, or I would still be working on those 33's!

Excellent results achieved. Thanks for the sharing the pictures. Did you leave the wheels on the truck or take them off?

I left them on the truck, which made cleaning them more difficult. He was ready to scrap them thinking they couldn't be cleaned up but is now going to put them up for sell. He was shocked in the turn around.
