2006 Ram 1500

[dieselwrench]

This is the first vehicle I have done that I don`t own, it`s my dad`s 2006 ram 1500. All in all it was not in horrible shape but had a lot of swirls in the paint. I was very nervous about doing someone else`s vehicle so I didn`t get alot of pictures, and it was a very cloudy day so couldn`t get any good sun shots. Any advice or criticism is welcome.

Poorboys super slick n suds
Ferex iron remover
Poorboys spray and rinse
Meguiars clay bar kit

Looks great! Did you do that by hand or with a DA?

Nice work!

Looks great .. and I`m sure your dad was very happy

Perfection takes quite a while to achieve if ever and as long as the finish is in better shape than it started, you are always on the right road

Outstanding work! Beautiful truck and color.

It`s a mahindra tractor, bought it with a blown engine and rebuilt it about 2 years ago, had to order parts from India to build the engine. I have one also that I have thought about polishing just for the practice but been doing 85+ hours a week at work so haven`t gotten to it yet
