New Image Auto Detailing: Ram 3500

[kakeuter]

Cleaned up a massive Dodge for my customer as a future gift to his son.



Interior was in good shape as it has been sitting in storage for a while. Since it was “detailed” in Miami before getting shipped here the outside was a little rough.



Paint was compounded with D300 and a MF cutting pad

Paint was polished with 85rd and a green pad

Paint was protected with BFWD

Where did you get that light you had mounted above the dash?

Thanks! Kinda sucks it`s gonna be rainy when he gives it to his son, but at least it`s properly protected.

Thank you! It`s from Snap-On, the hooks on the end are spring loaded and adjustable, so you just pull it to the size that you need and the spring holds it in place.
