💎 2017 Dodge RAM Truck Laramie 4x4 1500 Hemi 5.7L

🛻 Beautiful truck received the following:

💎 A couple of safe wash & dries because she's been standing a while.. Its been a bit dusty around here due to home renovations, i also needed a couple days sick leave & enjoyed helping out around our home to get things done. 🧱

💎 Physical & chemical decon, because a car can look clean but still be dirty. Chemicals are used to loosen or remove contaminants still stuck on paint àfter washing, clay bar treatment done to gently remove what is left. Examples of such contaminants include tar, road dirt stains, fallout etc. This step aids the products we use next to bond properly resulting in a better, longer lasting finish. 👌

💎 Went with a good compound using DA machine (only, low speed) on this beauty to minimise fine scratches & improve overall clarity on the paint. This process was repeated twice, but was worth it. Glossy, crispy white color returned without removing àny unnessesary paint ensuring theres plenty meat left on the bones in case of severe scratches or stains in future.

💎 Polished to refine & sealed to add further protection to this vehicles surface. This aids greatly to prevent further damage caused by sun, dust, etc. Smooth, protected paint - Easy maintenance. 🫧

💎 Did my best to cleanup badges, trims, door hindges.. Door handles polished by hand to minimise nail scratches caused by openening the doors.. It happens to àll vehicles & can be easily taken care of. 🙂

💎 Windows polished to add protection against water marks.
(Always dry your vehicle properly directly after a wash. Avoid washing in sunlight or leaving your vehicle in the rain.) 🌦

💎 Engine bay, wheel arches, chrome, tyres, loadbin, lights - Cleaned & polished by hand. Takes allot more time than neccesary, in some areas old school methods remain key to the best result.

💎 Interior received a good clean, vacuum & polish. Tried my best to take care of every piece - From the roofliner to the bare bottom of every surface i could find to remove remove dirt & make it shine to match the exterior.
