The inner rear wheels and the gap between the duals decide whether a dually detail was worth paying for. Brake dust and caliche pack in there and start corroding the finish. A quick wash never reaches it. Duallies here tow stock trailers, equipment, and RVs across the South Plains, so they collect more of it than a light-duty truck ever will. Essential from $240, Full Reset from $400, Premium from $895.
A dually has two additional wheels, inner wheel wells that trap debris, wide rear fender flares with complex edges, and substantially more surface area than an already-large truck.
Duallies are working trucks here — towing stock trailers, equipment, and RVs across the South Plains. They collect caliche, road tar, and brake dust at a rate that light-duty trucks do not.
Most quick washes never touch the inner rear wheels or between the duals. That is where brake dust and caliche pack in and start corroding, and it is the single most common thing we find neglected on these trucks.
Dually pricing sits at or above the truck tier due to surface area and the additional wheels — Essential from $240, Full Reset from $400, Premium from $895.
Two additional wheels, inner wheel wells that require separate access, wide fender flares with complex edges, and substantially more surface area. It is meaningfully more labor than a standard crew cab.
The inner rear wheels and the space between the dual wheels. Quick washes almost never reach them, and that is exactly where brake dust and caliche pack in and begin corroding.
Yes. The inner wheels collect as much brake dust as the outer ones and get cleaned far less often, so contamination there is usually more advanced.
Quarterly at minimum if it tows regularly, with more frequent wheel and undercarriage attention if it operates off pavement or hauls in caliche.
Because nothing else cleans them. Brake dust and caliche pack between the duals and against the inner wheel face, stay damp, and corrode the finish from a spot the owner never sees until it is pitted.
Noticeably. Six wheels instead of four, inner wells that trap debris, and wide fender flares with complex edges all add real time on top of an already-large vehicle.
More than on most vehicles. Six wheels is six times the cleaning, and a coating on the faces and inner barrels means brake dust wipes off instead of baking on between washes.
