Just had the ram detailed today (finally by a competent man). Truck passed the sunlight test and I don't see any swirl marks anywhere. Feels good to get the spring wax on her, it's almost the 1 year anniversary of owning the Ram I know it doesn't look that crazy in the pix because it's always clean anyways but it looks great in person.

Here are some crappy cell phone pictures lol.

I am literally obsessed with details; it's a disease lol. I've had this truck detailed SIX times in less than one year. You can make it 7 if you want to count the time I made Portland Tint "fix" their screw up. I can finally say it's the first detail that was done properly. All of the other details were swirl fests; it's terrible. I just love how getting a detail makes you feel like you start a new slate with all of the bullcrap you've gone through with your truck. From this point on, I refuse to put my truck through touch carwashes. Even though touchless carwashes don't really take all of the dirt off, they at least don't slap your paint. I typically like to get my truck detailed every four months though.

Exterior details range from $100-$150. Typically in my experience, the guys that are competent will charge at least $125. The other shops that offer as a side note will entice you with their $99.95 price, but it always comes out like **** and it's usually a local highschool student doing it for dirt cheap.

Looks great man! How long does it stay clean? Whenever i wash or wax mine it usually ends up being dirty by the end of the day or the next day. Its like a dust magnet!!!!

Haha you called it brother, thing is just magneting all sorts of things floating in the air lol, but hey, at least I know the wax is doing its job. I just love the rush of getting a detail. I've tried messing around with doing it myself, but I just don't get the same rush that I of hiring it out to a professional and building rapport with a business. I love doing things myself, but I won't do something myself unless it interests me, and waxing isn't one of them lol.
