new truck tips?

[rntonp]

I have a 2003 dodge ram hemi with 20`s. I have not waxed it at all yet. What process would you guys recommend. I just bought a clay majic bar and plan on using this first. What products and steps would you recommend (i.e. Clay, Polish, Wax, then Glaze?)

Much appreciated. This is the coolest site on earth.

Thanks to Al Gore for inventing the internet (LOL)

Congrats on the new truck!

Ive got a 2003 Ram also, red in color. I have been using Zaino for a few years on all my vehs and have been very happy.

If you have the chrome 20`s they are actually a plastic bonded to the wheel so dont use anything abrasive on them or they will scratch. If you have the polished 20`s then just use your choice of metal polish on them.



Have fun!

Welcome yall!



Clay Polish Wax Glaze will work, but lemme take it one step further:

Dawn Wash, Clay, Dawn Wash, Polish (I suggest Klasse AIO), Sealant (Klasse?), Carnuaba Wax, QD, and then glaze, if you really even need to. Glaze done after everything will fill in minor swirls and imperfections in the wax itself--you may find you don`t even need it.



Others will pipe up here, but hope this helps!

I would remove the wheels and detail the front and back side of the rims/tires as well. Consider painting your calipers at this point as well, minimal rust and dirt at this point in their life.

I AIO-SG-S100 the bed and added a Bedrug to protect the bed.



Good Luck With The New Truck
