    The 2010 rams I've worked on have all been in the softer side

    Haha all those trucks have rail dust on the tail gates, your gonna need clay for that, a medium clay is what I use for rail dust, but a fine clay can do it, just takes longer and if I'm claying a car I'm usually polishing it aswell, what kind of pads do you currently have?

    Since most of your pads are finishing pads I would start with the least agressive approach, hit it with the 106 first with the orange pad, if thats not agressive enough opt compound it, same pad, and then finish that down with the 106 on the green pad, unless you have the coarse green, if thats the case use your grey. Just trying to use what you have. If that doesn't work I can always recommend spending more money lol but I usually stick with what you already have and trying to make that work first.
