Material : AcrylicThe bug shield of your Dodge Ram 1500 is designed to give an enhanced protection for your ride's exterior especially the windshield. It works by propelling the air that brings bugs, other insects, and road debris away to prevent damage on the hood and windshield. It also enhances the rugged look of your Ram truck. However, your Dodge Ram 1500 bug shield can be prone to wearing out because of its exposure to different damaging elements. To make it last long, here are some helpful maintenance tips for your bug shield:
You must wash your bug shield thoroughly in order to get rid of bugs, other insects, and road debris that have accumulated on it. You can make use of mild car soap for dirt removal, which can also prevent the painted areas from being damaged. Rinse off your bug shield with clean water, so its surface will not be contaminated further. Do not forget to use a microfiber towel for wiping your bug shield because this type of material won't leave scratches o the bug shield surface. You can clean the bug shield along with your regular car wash, just make sure to pay more attention to it especially if you've just used your Ram 1500 in off-roading or in an area where there are lots of bugs hitting the truck while running.
You can enhance the look of your bug shield and improve its quality by applying plastic polish and car wax on its surface. The plastic polish functions by getting rid of scratches while bringing back the shine of your bug shield. On the other hand, the car wax can serve as the protective layer of the polish to prevent your bug shield from further damage.
To smoothen out the surface of your bug shield, you may use a buffing pad connected to a power drill. The buffing pad can evenly distribute the polish on your bug shield for an enhanced finish. While it is attached on the power drill, you must run it over the surface in a circular motion consistently so that all the areas will be buffed properly.
Your Dodge Ram 1500 bug shield is toughly made to endure different road and weather elements. This protective gear functions by deflecting the air drag that brings bugs, other insects, and debris away from your windshield. In addition, your bug shield adds up to the stylish look of your Dodge Ram 1500. If you have just bought a new one, you are in good luck because you can actually do the installation process. Here are some helpful tips for you:
Tip #1: Clean your hood to ensure a firmer installation of your bug shield.
You must keep in mind that your hood must be clean and free from dirt before attaching your bug shield. This is because the adhesive and other supporting components of your bug shield will not be secured properly if the surface of the hood contains lots of dirt. You may apply a rubbing alcohol or degreaser for this matter, which are known as general cleaning agents for all types of surface. In addition, make sure that all the areas surrounding your hood are dry before installing your bug shield, so you can ensure that it will be adhered firmly.
Tip #2: Test fit your bug shield to check any necessary adjustments.
The bug shield that you will install on the hood of your vehicle must be exactly fit for the frame. To ensure this, you can place your bug shield over the hood to see any possible adjustments to be made. Moreover, you can ask another person who can help you for this procedure. This is because it will be more convenient for you to see if your bug shield is centered on your hood while someone is holding it. In this way, you can also make necessary markings on the sides of your bug shield to know where you will put the supporting materials.
Tip #3: All supporting components that come with your bug shield should also be installed.
Do not forget to install all necessary components that come with your bug shield. These include the clips and adhesive. Apply pressure on your bug shield gently after installing it, so you can ensure that it is secured firmly. In addition, do not forget to attach the rubber bumpers on the backside of your bug shield. These will prevent your bug shield from damaging your hood.
