So I've been roaming around here trying to learn all i can. Ive realized I have a long ways to go before I'm where I want to be. This last year I turned 25 and my present to myself was a 2010 Ram. I've tried my hardest to keep it sprayed off all winter. So when it finally warmed up I decided to do a good spring cleaning. Seeing as to how this is my first Brand New vehicle I'm a little obsessive about it. Hope you enjoy.
I didnt get a good before shot cause it was hard to tell it was even dirty.
I started by doing the wheels and undercarriage first with a separate wash bucket

Then I did a basic wash to begin with. 2 Bucket system (first time ever)

Next I moved to the interior, which needed some lovin

Simple vacumm, wipe down, glass, and dressing.

Next day I decided to clay, wax and try my best at hand buffing. I'll let the pics talk.
Before:

Nice Job.....looking forward to doing a little spring cleaning on my car.....if spring ever gets here!
 
I may hate dodge trucks, but you got that thing looking nice!:applause:
 
Especially tough to keep the undercarriage beautiful, but you're doing the new truck proud. Keep it up!

Why would you hate such beautiful trucks?

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I want this to be the nicest truck I've ever had.

Haha, I'm a Ford man, but I drive a Chevy truck. Don't know why, just never did like dodge rams.:dunno:
 
The new Rams look pretty sweet. You are doing a great job keeping yours clean.
