    What did you name your truck?

    I'm a "name my vehicle" person. Have a few names in mind for my new truck. What did everyone name their trucks?!

    To ceramic coat or not?

    For what its worth, I just got done doing about half the truck. Dealer washed it, I stopped by my parents and then straight home (about 5 miles total). Iron Remover did not turn a color on the front end, indicating minimal iron particles on the paint. So I went straight to clay bar. Did the...

    So this happened to me after one week of ownership.

    My dealer tried blinding me with a wheel upgrade using a different package on my order slip. I was like no way. Small rims equal small tires equal small cost :D

    So this happened to me after one week of ownership.

    People who are stealing car rims for a living probably dont have wages to garnish. They probably dont own a home to put a lien against either. I know its frustrating but its the world we live in. My mom's vehicle got plowed into in a parking lot from some dude cutting through the lot to get to...

    Recommend me detailing products

    I usually stick to Meguiars/Mothers products because I can get them easily enough from the store. I do own some Chemical Guys waxes and their hex logic polishing pads. Some of my favorites I use are Meguiars Gold Class car wash, monster edgeless microfiber towels from Chemical Guys, and Meguiars...

Picking up my truck tomorow and have the stuff to do Adam's Ceramic Coat. I inherited my grandfather's tools (he worked as an autobody mechanic), so I have ALOT of...

    Bucket Dirt Lockers

    i just picked on up from autozone. The whole theory makes sense so for how cheap it was, i figured why not. Standard microfiber sponge from any auto store. I've been experimenting with drying methods. My gold standard is "The Absorber" shammy towel. I have one for main drying and an older one...

    SPOTLESS WINDOWS

    I am currently using ProElite Glass Cleaner from Autozone and it works fine. I've used invisible glass before and it is also nice. I have used a claybar on windows before for real bad water spots. I also use any rag-in-a-box type paper towel instead of micro-fiber towels. Just a preference and...

    Price Paid - Big Horn

    Picking mine up tomorow, its similar-ish. Will let you know what the final numbers come out to be but the invoice from when I ordered it is $51k minus rebates/trade. I'm expecting it to be down around $45k with the truck month deals and I got $500 from one of the threads around here, and the 1%...

    To ceramic coat or not?

    I'm with ya there. I use my garage as a woodshop, not that the truck would fit in there. We have a huge oak tree that overhangs the driveway so anything that can help the paint last is a plus for me. The Chicago Detail Pros guys have a lot of nice videos. One of the most recent ones I've...

    To ceramic coat or not?

    A friend of mine had his Ram done and honestly, it looks gorgeous. It gets a lot of compliments at work, always looks clean/showroom finish. He paid a pretty penny for it but got the top tier coating done that includes a couple annual touch-ups (that he doesnt get done for whatever reason). I...

    Misleading? It’s on me at the end of the day but still...

    My dealer "had" to add the mopar rubber floor mats and rear wheel liners. I was going to add them aftermarket (hoped to find used or at least cheaper) trying to save as much as I could on my financing. I opted to just go with it and the more I read, im wondering if it actually is a per-dealer...

    YouTuber Faces 18 Criminal Charges Over Ram 1500 TRX Antics:

    His best defense wouldve been the "prove it was filmed here" but if its that easy to identify, he's screwed.

    New to Paint Correction - Questions

    Removing orange peel requires wet sanding and then you also get into needing enough clear coat to sand through it also. Just watched a video from AmmoNYC where they remove orange peel on an old Porsche. Definitely not a job for a beginner

    New to Paint Correction - Questions

    Watch AmmoNYC and Chemical Guys on youtube. They have great video tutorials. As a beginner, always start with the least aggressive. If it isnt working on the scratches/swirls you have go to the next aggressive step. Repeat if necessary. Stay away from trim and badges and if you feel it...

    YouTuber Faces 18 Criminal Charges Over Ram 1500 TRX Antics:

    I feel like this isn't gonna go anywhere. I'm not real familiar with his videos or anything but unless there's something in them that you can clearly say where they were filmed who's to say they weren't "filmed in mexico"
