James__ Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) This past weekend I finally had a chance to give my truck a nice deep cleaning and get it protected all with the arsenal of Adam's Polishes products I have amassed thus far. Super VRT on my plastics and tires is probably my favorite product; I love the deep, rich black it leaves behind. The pictures below are after washing and glazing but before I applied the Liquid Paint Sealant as I was running out of good daylight for pictures. I can't wait to to do a full correction and see how much better it turns out because even the shine on the currently un-clayed, un-polished, un-corrected finish has already blown me away. All pictures below are non-filtered of the cleaned and glazed surface. Today we got a micro shower at the jobsite which has left my truck dirty again but the Liquid Paint Sealant has left it all beaded and it looks as though it will come off very easily!

James__ Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Joe! The location is at a 175k SF, $27 million Training Support Center project that the company I work for is finishing up and getting ready to turn over to the government. I need to buy a good camera so I can actually get some quality photos instead of just iPhone pics lol. Edited February 29, 2016 by James__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James__ Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Nice truck! the VRT is some amazing stuff. have your tried the H2O guard & Gloss? just used for the first time Saturday. Amazing! Thanks! I've tried it once so far and it was great despite the truck not being thoroughly cleaned. I plan to use the H2O Guard and Gloss after maintenance washes now to help keep up the Paint Sealant! Edited February 29, 2016 by James__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwhite0960 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Nice shots James. What applicator did you use for the vrt on the tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James__ Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Nice shots James. What applicator did you use for the vrt on the tires Thanks! I used the Pro Tire Hex Grip for the sidewalls where there are fewer features and the VRT Sponge for the jagged shoulder tread blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Now that is a manly truck! Cummins I assume? James__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James__ Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Now that is a manly truck! Cummins I assume? Thanks! I like driving one of the biggest rigs on the road lol. I'm not in to the whole monsterous lift thing but the bigger the body the better I think! One day I hope to stretch the frame on a megacab for a megacab longbed since they aren't available from the factory. Yes, it is a Cummins. I have some performance plans in the future for it but being under warranty still, I will wait. The idea that I don't have to pay if something happens is pretty nice.

Ricky Bobby Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Enjoy the warranty man. A standard bed and crew cab Cummins in white with 3 pedals is my dream truck. It's a beast out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James__ Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Enjoy the warranty man. A standard bed and crew cab Cummins in white with 3 pedals is my dream truck. It's a beast out of the box. Absolutely! And they are becoming more rare. The G56 standard transmission available for these trucks are incredible but hard to find. Hope you can find one and fulfill that dream some day!

James__ Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yeah, I have a 24' low pro carhauler with a 2' dovetail that I haul pretty regularly so the ball has to be down there quite a ways to keep from dragging the tail! And I've been rear ended multiple times so it helps protect my truck; so many people just don't pay attention anymore. Everyone is so busy on their phones even when driving in dense traffic.

sahls01gmc Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I hear ya on the hitch. I always drive with hitch in place....has saved me many times. I have to remember to take it off when I get home though. It's a magnet for my shins and all 3 of my daughter's hands......don't know why they just want to grab it.

redneck08sierra Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) looking good!! B/c your truck sits so high the inner wells up front can be seen, i'd get some undercarrige spray and go to town. it will black those areas out and look perfect! Edit...after looking at your pics closer, it almost looks like your front inner wheel wells are white if you want to go bigger, you can always go this route with your Dodge!!!!

That truck is massive! I used the Invisible Undercarriage Spray to freshen up the frame and suspension in my front fenders wells but right now I have the plastic fender well liners removed. The tires I chose are a little too big with the negative offset wheels so longer control arms and an adjustable track bar are required for perfect fitment. Once I get them installed I will put the fender well liners back in to cover everything back up and apply some Invisible Under Carriage to the plastics!
