Hey, I have a 2003 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 4.7L Magnum v8, my dad bought the truck off the showroom floor and drove it home $50,000. Great truck to drive gets decent milage has 2 Flowmaster super 10s sounds great. But that's not the point, the point is I want to make this truck look brand new from the inside. What I want to know is how to clean the crud on my 4x4 shifter and how do I remove the flu that sticks to my seats, and how to restore headlights on the cheap (no sandpaper, just home remedies)
>>
>50K

Make sure to call your dad a cuck at least once a day from now on.

If you can't afford sandpaper then you probably shouldn't even start detailing - especially not a 4x4 truck. Just pressure wash the whole thing inside and out then let it dry in the sun all day with the doors open. That's what I do.
>>
>>14730105
That's not the point, what I mentioned to say was I don't want to spend all that time on working on headlights
>>

>I want the truck to look brand new

So you want it to look nice, but you don't want to do the work? Just making sure I'm understanding you.

Hey kid stop being such a wise ass, if you don't have any advice, fucking off! :D

go to the store, buy amor all wipes and shit. Get some fine grit sandpaper too for headlights. Like really fine. Get a good vacuum, and clean the shit out of it. its hard to clean seats if they aren't leather so idk about that. Clean your weather mats with dish soap.

Don't be a cuck, walk to rona/canadian tire/tesco/walmart/lumbermart/home depot/princess auto etc whatever you have in your country

>$50,000

no way a old truck like this values this much. with this kind of miney you could have got yourself a newer truck instead.
>>
>>14730379
That's rounding up, my dad bought the truck for 48 or 49k in 2003. Its priceless to me
>>
>>14730370
Going to crappy tire tomorrow anyways, will grab it their thanks
>>
>>14730370
Would engine degreaser work for cleaning the floor/weather mats?
>>
>>14730469

Only if they have petroleum oil/grease on them.

Also, sandpaper for headlights is kinda BS unless they're so foggy you can't even see inside them. Get a set of Novus plastic polish bottles (cheap on Amazon or whatever, don't pay in-store prices.) and go to it.
>>
>>14730498
The headlights are not bad just a little bit of yellow. I'll look into it thanks!
>>
>>14730114

Smear them with ATF and wipe clean. It'll look good for like a day or two until it dries again.

Sanding or other abrasives is the only way to get lasting results.
>>
>>14730089
i ordered a kit from turtle wax that was real cheap. comes with abrasive pads in like 4 different grit levels, a little bottle of cleaner, and a sealant for when you finish.
10/10 would buy again, cleared up my gf's fucked up looking headlights putting about 30 minutes of scrubbing between both headlights

>calls people lazy

>>
>>14732988
For a matter a fact I scrubbed the dirt and grease out of the carpets, cleaned the headliner, washed the truck, washed out the bed of the truck, cleaned the windows and my dash, detailed the engine bay a little bit, and did a much needed oil change /filter... and some other things... brought it to my fathers shop and got it done in 2 hours! If you think I'm still lazy please enlighten me on what you do on the daily :D
>>
>>14733079
How long ago did he pay 50k for that?
>>
>>14733152
Sounds like he bought it new. Still a ripoff though I mean holy fuck, 4.7?
>>
>>14733152
My father bought the truck brand new off the showroom floor in 2003
>>
>>14730089
Armor all wipes

Arm and hammar bakeing soda toothpaste for headlights

Fresh bomb with black ice

New headunit and speakers
>>
>>14733243
Ok but your dad got fucked. 50k in 2003 for a 4.7 1500 dodge is a scam. I wouldn't even pay 50k today for a 2003 dodge with 0 miles on it

Hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion, my dad didn't need the hemi or the 5.9. The truck has 279,951kms has no transmission problems the 4.7 has never let me down but I did have to replace the water pump, no big deal. My dad is a licensed mechanic and in 2008 he has had some 3rd Gen rams come in with some problem with the hemi just minor stuff.
