    Thumbs up Who says white can't look good?

    2005 Ram 1500, does need to be washed though. Tomorrow once it warms back up will get out the foam gun etc.

    Some effort, the right tools and products.

    Well gonna get out the APC and go over the black trim spots really well, and inside the fenders etc.

    Then gonna spray the engine compartment down and clean that with the APC.

    Then do the tires and wheels.

    Then foam it, let that soak, rinse it off then foam it again and wash it.

    Then dry it completely, with towels and my blower.

    Use some Fuzion Spay Wax and go over the paint and the outside windows. Don't need to clay it again because I just did it when I did the correction. Has a good base of WDGPS on it now.

    Then use some trim dressing and go over the black trim.

    Re: Who says white can't look good?

    Quite the contrary... White almost always looks good.

    And its about as easy as it gets to maintain.

    The only thing that is harder to do on white than other colors is wet-sanding and correcting... When wet sanding it is a harder to see your progress as the low points do not stand out as readily as with other colors. And when correcting the swirls and scratches do not stand out as readily as with other colors.

    So, inspecting white during the processing is tougher, but just about every other aspect of white is either similar to or easier than other colors.

    White and silver are pretty easy to maintain I think, Red isn't so bad either.

    I think black is the hardest, well the clear coat blacks are anyway, I think the older single stage was easier, somewhat.

    I may get slammed, but I can understand why people choose white rides. Cooler, doesn't show as much dust as darker colors, but oh is it boring. Reminds me of a commercial vehicle like what the state has.
