    Opinion on a 2004 Dodge Hemi Pick-Up

    This is a black 2004 Dodge Ram Hemi Truck
    How hard is the clearcoat on this thing?
    I'm doing this truck next week. It has some superficial swirls, and some scratches
    What I have to work with is Menzerna 3.00, 3.02. PO106FF, Prima Swirl, and Prima Cut. Not worried about the swirls, but the scratches...

    Tools: Porter Cable, LC Orange pads, Sonus Swirls Buster pad, and LC Yellow pad
    I'm hoping the CC is not that hard, at least not as hard as on my Z06, since this thiing has a lot of real estate to cover!

    Any tips based on what I giot you guys can pass along?

    I have a black 2004.5 Dodge Ram 2500. I've used SSR2.5 and SSR1 in the past and must say that the paint is much harder than it was on my wife's black Ford Explorer.

    However, I've managed to keep it swirl free after that, and it's been almost a year!

    I've heard that the clearcoat is hard on those trucks. That pretty much confirms what I was told

    Mine is an '03 Black and the paint does seem somewhat hard, but I would guess its not a hard as your z-06. You should be good with the menzerna.
