    Cleaned up a massive Dodge for my customer, he'll be giving to his son as gift.

    Interior was in good shape as it has been sitting in storage for a while. Since it was “detailed” in Miami before getting shipped here the outside was a little rough.

    Paint was compounded with D300 and a MF cutting pad
    Paint was polished with 85rd and a green pad
    Paint was protected with BFWD

    Initial condition

    Awesome Dodge, what a beast of a truck. That 6.7L engine is just going to suck the diesel through it's injectors with those big tires.

    Holy what a beast! A ton of product would have been used to dial that in! Nice work.

    I would get into too much trouble if I owned a truck like that... that truck + road rage = driving through people... driving through anything...

    I would love to have that........ I took PIT training. I could do some damage with that!

    Thank you all for the kind remarks. Total man hours in the truck is around 20.

    Damn that was a big beast, my friend just got a 1500 Hemi so I'm going to take it for a spin tomorrow night. Great job cleaning it up guys.

    That is some truck -- a lot of paint.

    Do you usually wash prior to compounding and then wash again for the final prep?

    Yes, on something this size it's going to accumulate a lot of dust during the polishing procedures.

    I never detailed that big of a truck. I know it's coming but not looking forward to it. Great detail though, truck looks awesome.
    Looks like your van still has a lot of space for more detailing goodies.
