I'm taking delivery on a new Ram truck. Any suggestions on manual carwashing tips...best way to clean and dry the truck bed.

Also, will automatic (drive-thru) "brushless" carwashes damage the paint finish??

Thanks

 

ur gettin the srt-10 right??for drying the bed shamies work but we juss usually let it air dry as its driving around and whats a brushles carwash ive never heard of one

good luck with your truck

 

Yep, the SRT 10 is currently on a railcar in central Illinois enroute northbound. Thanks for the info on the truck bed.

I have been using this brushless carwash in Wisconsin. Pull into an enclosed stall and the vehicle receives two coats of soap spray, then two intense sprays of rinse water then a finish coat spray. As you pull out of the enclosed stall a ceiling blower blows off most of the water...$6.00. I use it frequently for that nasty winter salt coating.

I was told these carwashes use pretty strong soap chemicals. The SRT 10 will be for summer/fall months only and stashed for the winter so it looks like I'll have to grow some longer arms and do it myself.

 

shouldnt be that hard i can reach the top of the truck from standing on the ground but the middle of it i have to get in the bed for its pretty high up for a 2x4 tho and the srt-10s are dropped a few inches

how tall are u im 5-8

 

I use Wesleys carwash with a cotton wash mit. I detail with a claybar system once a year, and use Meguiars car care products like wax, paint cleaner, and polish. Good luck with that new truck.

 

i went through a brushless automatic last nite with my 99 ram sport.... the truck came out looking great but i have to spray the wheel wells out from home cuz the underbody wash didnt really make it past the tires

id hand wash it everytime but i have hard water at my house... and with a black truck id be claybarring all day everytime i washed.

 

I use a sponge with amour all concentrated liquid car wash which leaves it a brilliant shine and get's the toughest dirt and grime off and then I use a deer skin cloth aftwards to get the water spots of my windows because I can only get rusty well water.

sounds like a commercial [sm=lol.gif]

 

yea it does

 

I do have a talent to be a spokes person on TV for sure. As it is I have to suggest items to customers at my store and I explain to them how it works or how good a quality things are..so I have many satisfied customers returning to me everytime I work.
