BBR, Big Black Ram, Dodge, 2006

[Detailing by M]

Here we have a Big Black Ram in need of some love.
This customer is used to Ferrari's and Porsche's, but he really loves his truck.
He had to drive down some dirt roads for a job and dirtied up his BBR.

This was a basic Wash-N-Wax with interior detail.
The paint needed some paint defect removal but the customer just wanted it cleaned up and beautiful again.
So Meguiar's M66 Quick Detailer was the choice for this job.

Washed, Nano Skinned, Meg's Soft Buff Pad on my G110 did the job on the paint, chrome and headlights.
Meg's D156 X-press Wax on the glass and rims for protection and a great shine.
Meg's Tire & Trim Dressing for the trim also Meg's Trim Spray for the grill and lower lights.

The interior was Valuer? and dirty.
With a Valuer interior I've found the "Pet Rock" really cleans up the fibers and removes all the lint and dirt really well.
Vac, rock, brush and Vac again was the order of cleaning the Valuer up nicely.

Cool pinstriping. You just don't see pin striping anymore.

Poor design here. You have to hold all your keys in your hand to not scratch the paint. But your going to scratch it as we can see here.

His trailer came loose and did some damage. Surprisingly a little damage. I expected a lot more then a few scratches and the emblem was just knocked off.

This is the reason why I carry 3m double sided tape. A few strips and this was back on. I wanted to properly glue it with silicone
but the customer was going to get this all repainted so a "quick fix" is all that was needed.

Looks great!!!

How did you handle the pin striping? Was it on top of the clear?

Can you buff right over it?

[Evan.J]

Nice job Mario!

[LatinFG2]

Looks pretty good!

[Detailing by M]

Thanks for the kudos guys.

The pin stripes weren't a bother to deal with. They are "on top" of the paint.
These were quality pin stripes and held up to my G110 and M66.

I really did this post to share how to clean the Valuer seats.
This and Silverado have this fabric and is very hard to clean.
If your a Pro Det. then you need a "Pet Rock".

Velour.

Nice work.

[capnp72]

Great job on the truck but it's not a '06. Probably an '05 or '04. They changed the headlights in '06.

[JSou]

Great job. I also hate the 30 pic limit. Truck looks beautiful.

I asked the customer. But I got the year wrong on my van too. I didn't look at the door sticker.


Velour.

Nice work.

I thought that was the wrong spelling.

[Pureshine]

Great work :) But the croc sandals have to go lol just joking :)

[pslats]

Really looks great. Is that a metallic paint?

[vet]

Great job!

Yea I know. i held off on buying them for a year.
But they are very comfortable and the best "wet shoe" out there.
Find me a better wet shoe and I'll ditch these.
