What did you do TO your RAM today?

What are you guys doing to prevent/reduce tire shine fling? The stuff the dealer put on is all down the side of the truck lol.

There's a few "professional" products I use, but stuff like Griots or Chemical Guys is meant to be sprayed onto a sponge and then applied to the tire. Better products and less applied to the tires means it doesnt get slung off as easily.
 
Finally able to get all the highway grime off of her.View attachment 12443
Love black trucks but dang, they don't stay clean long. Maybe an hour tops. LOL My 2003 was black with stainless steel running boards. She was sharp cleaned up. New one is probably going to be almost as bad.

They still look clean longer than white vehicles. I love my pearl white truck, but damn does she show road grime QUICK! I should have held out for a billet silver or granite truck, my granite 4Runner hid dirt so much better

I have been using Aero Cosmetics for much of the truck including the tires. Originally made for airplanes. Approved by Boeing and Airbus. LOL No runs. Stuff works great. I also like their blue stuff. Use it all over the truck paint, inside and the RV. The photo in my previous post was taken was taken last year after I washed and dried the exterior. Texas water spots bad. The "blue stuff" (can't remember the exact name) removes the water spots and leaves a great shine that smells good. LOL After doing the tires with rubber care I wipe the tires down with the blue stuff. Leaves a non glossy shine that doesn't attact dirt.

Gave it bath today. Going to try and keep it clean on the way to the cabin this evening, probably wishful thinking!

Wow......what an awesome looking ride..
 
In home 3 weeks, only simple jobs on it:
OEM floor mats
OEM bed step
OEM rubber mud flaps
Kolpin Rhino grips in both side of Rambox.

A diamondback cover is under waiting.

Is there anyone upgrade the off-road package Ram2500 with leveling kits with new coil and Fox shocks? Is it really magically change it more comfortable?
