I had to clay the overspray off my truck when it was new.
I lucked out and didn't have any over spray.

I tried that with my car; "I want the white plastic left on; DON'T TOUCH THE F'N THING".If you have ever seen or talked to one of the dealership "expert" detailers you would understand why they do much more damage than good to your truck. There are exceptions to this however they are few and far between. In many cases it looks like they use steel wool instead of microfiber!!!!! When I picked up my new truck I told the dealership, "Don't even touch it, no wash, no wax no nothing, I'll do it myself".

What do I need to clay my Ram?
You should take the back of your hand and rub it lightly on the paint. If its smooth as glass then you dont need to claybar. All the claybar does is remove contaminants from the clear coat. If its taking paint off then you should take it back to the dealer because there isn't any clear coat on your truck and you got screwed. If it is smooth just get some Meguires ultimate wash and wax and after washing it apply a coat of Collinites #845 and you wont need to wax it for another 10 washes.
