2003 Dodge ThunderRoad

This truck is going to be in the Annual 4th of July Parade in Belton, TX... the guy wanted it cleaned up for pulling a float through the parade.

Wheels/Tires/Wells:

Wheels got hit with Meg's Wheel Brite twice and used the black schmitt. The EZ-Detail brush used to clean inside of the wheel. Once wheels were cleaned and dried I used Deep Finish Chrome polish via TW MF applicator and hand polished the rims. After polished I used AW for a final wipe down.

Tires rinsed and used ## Grime Reaper, cleaned with black schmitt and re-rinsed. Then tires dressed with D2G tire dressing via body brush.

Wells rinsed and used ## GR and a black schmitt. Re-rinsed and used Adams UC to dress them.

Wash Process:

Rinsed and then used Awesome APC to pre-treat lower panels and windshield. Foamed with a mix of ## CW/Meg's Hyperwash. Washed with various mitts and double grit guard bucket. After washing I re-foamed and clayed with RL purple clay and did final rinse.

I QD the truck then proceeded to dry it off and then pulled out the compressor to blow out water in the cracks and crevices.

Interior:

Vaccuumed out and then used Meg's APC with mf towel and various brushes to clean interior. Cleaned leather with mix of ## LC+/Meg's APC using Meg's interior brush to agitate.

Interior dressed with Stoners Trim shine, ## new car shine dressing. Used RL leather conditioner.
Carpets and floor mats pre-treated with mix of ## lightening fast/Folex. Then used hot water extractor. Once dried applied ## odor neutralizer+

Paint Correction/Protection:

Paint had oxidation and several swirls, but cust did not care about swirls. So I pulled out PB PwS, using a white ## MPT/LC CCS 6" pads and the Flex on speed 5.

I then used CK Nuba Wax for LSP, using VC LC pad via Flex on speed 3. After about 15 mins of buffing off I did a wipe down using AW.

Others:
## trim gel
Pacific Produx glass cleaner/cobra ww glass towel

Re: 2003 Dodge ThunderRoad

Very nice job, especially on the Rims and exhaust. I have a 2007 Thunder road for my work truck, and they do show off nice when cleaned up. Again great job.

Re: 2003 Dodge ThunderRoad

Nice looking truck. The work on the wheels shows a very dramatic difference in the before and ofter pictures. I like PwS very much it has held up well for me.
