This came in with 1/4 inch of dust over the engine and inside and at least and inch of mud on the exterior. I almost thought it would be too much. Took 10 hours post comments

they are alot of work. But look so much better when your done and the cusm is real happy. Ones that are not to bad sometimes its hard to show them a big change for the money they spend

He actually came to pick it up originally and wasnt hapy with it but he didnt bother reading what was included in the package. I did a lot of extra work for free and didnt charge him the extra i should have for exccesive dirt/dust. Hopefully he comes tonight and is blown away.

Hell of a job right there! That engine bay....my God, how does that happen in 2 yrs of ownership, does it live in the desert or something? How was the paint, usual heavy orange peel like all Rams?

Sprayed with Einszett Greaser aggitate with mothers brush
Rinse off (run engine to help dry)
Sprayed black plastic and hoses with Griots engine bay dressing

Sent from my SPH-M930 using AG Online paint was scratched to hell in a few places and peppered as he has no muflaps. Had a few chips which were rusting. Small scratchs i took care of for free to be nice. Its a beautiful truck too bad it wasnt taken care of. Sad to see stuff like that.

I could do that to my Jeep in a day of off-roading. Trails here in California are very dusty.

edit: yes I'm talking about the engine bay.
