Detail time!
Today I did a detail on a Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab Hemi. It was hot out and this truck was massive! Thankfully it was in very good condition so extensive polishing wasn’t needed. It did, however, have a lot of containments which required a lot of claying. It took 4 hours total, 1 hour to do the wheels, tires, wash & dry, ½ hour to clay, 1 hour for the interior, 1 ½ hours to polish and wax. So even though it was a big truck it didn’t take forever. I tried out my original technique of spit shining. I misted a fine mist of OCW on the panel and then with the PC and a finishing pad I worked in some Collinite #845. This resulted in a very reflective, glossy and very clear finish. Don’t ask how or why it can be glossy and clear at the same time … but it is :rockon. Very cool.
Process:
Wash with Goldclass & Ulti-mitt
Stuf Clay
SSR1, polishing pad, UDM
OCW & Collinite #845

. The sun was really bright in the morning and there were very light swirls and a few water spots, but nothing major. It only has 17,000 miles and a few years old. The owner and I were both pleased with the results.
