Protecting the Gravel Road Warrior – 2023 RAM TRX | Paint Protection Film | Window Tint
The 2023 RAM TRX is a high-performance,
formidable off-road beast boasting 700 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Known as one of the fastest trucks on the market, this ride is a powerful blend of form and function. Recently, one of our long-term customers residing on a gravel road set his sights on the 2023 RAM TRX. However, he knew that maintaining its pristine condition would be challenging due to his rugged environment.
This client, no stranger to our expert auto protection services, approached us with a dual concern: safeguarding his new RAM TRX from the gravel road’s hazards and elevating its aesthetics, comfort, and privacy. Understanding the owner’s concerns, we developed a comprehensive approach to shield this rugged titan from rock chips and other hazards. The goal was simple — to not let anything spoil the beauty of this beast.
Exterior Care and Paint Protection
In our 45-hour transformation of the 2023 RAM TRX, the first step was to safeguard its exterior with precision and care. We started by addressing these challenges by meticulously washing and decontaminating the vehicle. The rugged gravel road had already left its mark in the form of rock chips after just a week of ownership. We diligently touched up these imperfections to restore the vehicle’s original glory.
We recognized the importance of proactive protection and employed STEK DYNOshield Paint Protection Film. This high-quality film was applied to every exterior panel, creating a robust shield against future chips, scratches, and environmental elements. It is practically invisible over factory gloss paints, defending against rock chips and scratches. This not only enhanced the aesthetics of the TRX but also prolonged the life of its exterior finish.
Window Tinting with STEK NEX Film
Moving beyond the body, we turned our attention to the windows. Our client’s desire for a balance between privacy, comfort, and UV protection led us to choose STEK NEX window film. This top-of-the-line film boasted 99% UV protection and an impressive 97% infrared rejection — endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Various VLT percentages were carefully selected for each window, ensuring a consistent appearance while addressing specific needs. The windshield received a 70% VLT tint, offering a subtle shade, while the panoramic sunroof got a 20% VLT tint, effectively blocking heat without compromising the view.
Matching the factory privacy glass, the two front windows received a 20% VLT tint to maintain consistency with the factory privacy glass. Behind the glass on other windows, we applied a 70% VLT tint. This ensured uniform shade while effectively blocking harmful infrared and UV rays that privacy glass may miss.
This diligent tinting process not only enhances the vehicle’s aesthetics but also contributes to interior comfort by keeping it cool. This, in turn, elevates the efficiency of the vehicle’s air conditioning and provides a more comfortable driving experience.
