Got a sunny day on R&R leave, Gave the Ram a bath...

I used Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo, and Meguiar's # 26 for a wax. Needs a 7 step, but I dont have time. Road trip tomorrow!

I couldnt take it, after the return from the 2,000 mile trip through the redwood forest, and across the lava plains of Norcal/southern Oregon, the Ram was covered in all manner of tree sap, Road tar and lava rock bits.

Here is a before of the outside...filthy...

And...afters

I used Meguiar's Clay, Ultimate Compound, #7 Glaze, #26 Yellow Carnuba and JetSeal 109, The tires got Meguiar's NXT Tire Shine, the interior, tonneau cover and black exterior trim got Aerospace 303.

EDIT: sorry for the sideways pic of the back seat, I rotated it in photobucket, but I guess it doesnt matter?

You really do love your car clean

Well i did a 1800 mile road trip while I was on R&R about 5 month ago. I'm done with my tour and I'm happy to be on post deployment leave. I hope you come back home safe!
