Spent hours today waxing the truck, rims exhaust, nerf bars and all.

She is looking great!

Did find some serious flaws in the paint as I got it all shiny.

On my hood, I have like eight chunks of dirt under the hood , thankfully that are only noticeable from certain angles and not all of them.

Not sure what to do with that?

Couple of other flaws down the sides.

And the rubber molding that runs across the top of the roof, on drivers side is coming off by back by the rear window. About three inches of it, flying in the wind.

Kind of bummed and concerned about the quality of this vehicle I will paying for for along time.

It is like chunks of dirt under the paint. Hard to see, but you sure can feel it. I was thinking of getting a flat black stripe on the center of the hood, but now, that idea is impossible, because then these would really stand out. For now they are not that visible. I was thinking of using some crazy glue to stick that molding back down.

Unfortunately, I will never be going back to that dealer again. They lied to me about several things, like me having U-connect, key fobs and other items. Plus their body shop leaves alot to be desired.

I wonder if another dealer would handle it?

I think another dealer would handle it. I had warranty work done on my first ram at another dodge dealer than the one I bought it from.
