Matte Black. Any kind of paint is going to shine. What do you plan on doing with your car that you don't want it to shine? Got some undercover action going?

I use Rod & Custom Show Gloss Creme on my vehicles. It repels bugs, dirt, grime and the shine is unbelieveable! It's a one step process. Its easy!

I originally got mine at a show. You get it through a factory direct rep. Call toll free 1-866-DRAG CAR and they should be able to help you.

Ok everyone I haven't had a new vehicle in about 13 years so I need to know what's the best products to keep my 04 Ram clean and shiney. I'd like to know what you use for windows, tires, rims and is there a special brand of chamois out there that's better than the rest. Also what to use to wash the truck itself soap and should I use a sponge or something else. Last but not least I got the leather interior what do I use to keep that soft and clean. Thanks for any help you can provide.
For windows I like Eagle One 20/20. Its safe on factory window tint. Tires I reccomend Mother's tire cleaner. For rims Einszette Wheel cleaner Or P21S Wheel Cleaner

For washing DEFINETLY SONUS Click here for Sonus soap

For drying I like the california water blade, the dry the remainder with Sonus Ultimate drying towel. For washing PLEASE DO NOT use a sponge. Use a 100% Sheepskin wash mitt. (Look inside, it will be leather, if not pass it up it's a synthetic sheepskin. GO for 100%natural sheepskin)

For leather I use Einzett Leather cleaner/conditioner
