Ram 2500 / 3500 HD detailing in Houston

What we watch for

Paint and interior on the 2500 / 3500 HD

Paint and exterior

A 3500 dually has wide rear fenders and six wheels, so the lower half of the truck is where the hours go. The tailgate and rear bumper on diesels collect exhaust film and trailer road grime that needs tar remover before any polishing.

Interior

Mega Cabs have a huge rear floor and reclining rear seats that hide crumbs and gravel. Work trucks run vinyl or rubber floors; Laramie and Limited cabs have leather and a large center console.

Living in Houston

These trucks see lease roads, rodeo grounds and the Galveston ferry line, which means mud, red clay and salt air. Rinse the underside of the fenders soon after a coast trip.

• Pickup bed: tell us what the bed carries; spray-in liners clean up well, drop-in liners come out for the rinse.
• Tows and hauls: hitch, rear bumper and the lower panels collect road tar and brake dust, so they get iron remover and tar remover.
• Sees dirt roads and lease land: mud is softened and rinsed before any mitt touches the paint, and wheel wells are cleaned out.
• Large wheels and tall tires: wheel faces, barrels and wells take real time on this one, and it shows when they are done right.
• Lots of chrome: Houston hard water etches it, so it is dried fully, polished where needed and sealed.
