Default 2003 Dodge ThunderRoad

This truck is going to be in the Annual 4th of July Parade in Belton, TX... the guy wanted it cleaned up for pulling a float through the parade.

Wheels/Tires/Wells:

Wheels got hit with Meg's Wheel Brite twice and used the black schmitt. The EZ-Detail brush used to clean inside of the wheel. Once wheels were cleaned and dried I used Deep Finish Chrome polish via TW MF applicator and hand polished the rims. After polished I used AW for a final wipe down.

Tires rinsed and used CG Grime Reaper, cleaned with black schmitt and re-rinsed. Then tires dressed with D2G tire dressing via body brush.

Wells rinsed and used CG GR and a black schmitt. Re-rinsed and used Adams UC to dress them.

Wash Process:

Rinsed and then used Awesome APC to pre-treat lower panels and windshield. Foamed with a mix of CG CW/Meg's Hyperwash. Washed with various mitts and double grit guard bucket. After washing I re-foamed and clayed with RL purple clay and did final rinse.

I QD the truck then proceeded to dry it off and then pulled out the compressor to blow out water in the cracks and crevices.

Interior:
Vaccuumed out and then used Meg's APC with mf towel and various brushes to clean interior. Cleaned leather with mix of CG LC+/Meg's APC using Meg's interior brush to agitate.

Interior dressed with Stoners Trim shine, CG new car shine dressing. Used RL leather conditioner.

Carpets and floor mats pre-treated with mix of CG lightening fast/Folex. Then used hot water extractor. Once dried applied CG odor neutralizer+

Paint Correction/Protection:

Paint had oxidation and several swirls, but cust did not care about swirls. So I pulled out PB PwS, using a white CG MPT/LC CCS 6" pads and the Flex on speed 5.

I then used CK Nuba Wax for LSP, using VC LC pad via Flex on speed 3. After about 15 mins of buffing off I did a wipe down using AW.

Others:
CG trim gel
Pacific Produx glass cleaner/cobra ww glass towel

Awesome work there Dust. Heck the truck looked almost gray in the befores when you compare them to the black it is in the afters. Oh and incredible work on the wheels. So I take it you like the metal polish you are using now?

The metal polish is pehnominal!!! Non-abrasive, made from a form of jewelers rouge... actually looks like chocolate pudding!!! and leaves a bluish tint to wheels at the right angle!
