What we were dealing with

  • Heavy road film and winter salt residue across the lower panels
  • Mud and grit in the bed rails, door jambs and running boards
  • Engine bay caked in dust that made leaks impossible to spot

What we did

  1. 1Thick foam pre-soak to soften road film before any contact
  2. 2Jambs, bed rails and running boards cleaned by hand — the places a tunnel wash never reaches
  3. 3Sensitive engine bay components covered, degreaser applied cold, agitated and rinsed at low pressure
  4. 4Plastics and hoses dressed matte so the bay stays readable, not glossy
  5. 5Paint sealed for winter protection

How it turned out

  • Truck looks maintained rather than merely washed
  • Clean engine bay means a leak or a worn belt is now visible early
