Rupes Keramik Gloss + Pinnacle Black Label Paint Coating

[House of Wax]

I've had some Rupes Keramik Gloss sitting around that I hadn't gotten around to trying and just recently received some of their microfiber polishing pads to try out.....wife and kids were out of town last weekend so I took advantage of the free time by giving my 07 Ram a light polish and adding some Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating.

I don't have any "before" pictures because quite frankly the HD Nitro Seal that I've had on it for the last year or so did a damn fine job. I inspected the paint on my truck before polishing and to be honest, there wasn't any "need" to do anything. There were little to no swirls or rids and the paint felt very smooth still. There's was definitely life left in the Nitro Seal, but I had the free time, so I proceeded.

On to the Rupes products. Combo used was my Rupes21 + Rupes Blue finishing pad + Rupes Keramik Gloss Fine Gel Polish. First thought that came to mind when I was using it was smooooooth. They did their homework with everything. The machine and pads ran smooth as butter, virtually zero dusting, and the keramik gloss left a damn fine shine. The pads just took a quick blast with the air compressor after a section and they were ready to go again.

The Pinnacle Black Label coating advertises up to 3 years protection. I've used it on a few vehicles, but this will be the first time it's going on one of my own though, so I'll be able to really track it's performance. In any case, it looks great when it goes on.

And lastly, here's the pic dump:

Excellent job on a beautiful truck. I drive an '06 which is probably the best truck I have ever owned.
