    Made this white 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 pop again

    The owner of this vehicle contacted me last month with interest in having the inside and outside cleaned. After meeting with the owner and her husband to look over the vehicle it was in desperate need of some attention on the exterior. They are due to have their second child in a few weeks and wanted the inside cleaned up good also.


    I started out with working on the interior the first evening. There was some light staining on the carpets and seats, however it is in pretty good shape compared to a lot of the trucks I have seen.

    For the cleaning of the interior I used Folex and the Bissel LGM on the carpets and seats. I used the Tornador on most of the plastics. Plastics were then dressed with 303.


    After shots of the interior









    On to the exterior. The vehicle received the typical decon and wash as every other vehicle with Iron X and Nanoskin wash Mitt.

    Correction Process
    The paint on this was in pretty rough shape. The owners said they have never had the exterior done since owning it. I tried out my favorite combo of Hyper Polish on Orange Foam however this was not going to cut it. I had just received the full line up of Griots Garages Boss line of compounds and polishes. Quite a few people really like the Fast Correcting Cream so I decided to give this a try on MF pads.


    Onto the pictures

    In this pictures you can see just how much cleaner the paint looks. There was a definite difference in color after being compounded.

    Even though you get very little dust with the Fast Correcting Cream I pulled the vehicle outside and gave it a quick wash again and sealed it up with Hydr02, which looks great on white vehicles. Really makes the paint glow.














    Thanks for looking!

    Truck came out great. I have done several white trucks and just used Fast Correct. It really is a awesome compound.

    There should be a name for the process of washing a freshly polished vehicle then applying Hydro2. The process just makes so much sense and it saves so much time and energy, while giving great results.

    Great job on this big white truck!

    Nice! I`m new to Hydro2 but the stuff is stupidly easy to use, and seems to work well.

    Thanks. It is refreshing to work on something white once and awhile. I would say that Fast Correcting Cream is probably the easiest compound to use on the market.

    I agree. Big trucks and fast cars always look good shined up

    Guess we need to starting thinking of something to call it. Or maybe just call it money!

    I would say that you if you are not using Hydr02 your losing money. There is not a product on the market that is quicker or easier to use that will give you that kind of gloss and hydrophobic properties.
