Show off that REFLECTION.

Iiiiiii

Wait til I tell the bossman I want to pull the dash apart so I can paint it

 

Ordered. Supposed to be here tomorrow

 

Beastly Bronze!

 

Looks good Sir.

 

Thanks! 2013 with 110K.

Been picking up a trick or ten around here from you guys on how to do all this stuff. The level of expertise on this forum blows me away.

Funny I never cared too much until I got the Tundra but I totally love this thing and really enjoy detailing it.

 

Thanks!

 

Good idea. Can you share the brand of urethane? I’ll do the same, the logo gets under my skin.

 

Your sideways...

 

I despise each and everyone of you.... I used that bead stuff that you said to get after I clay bar'ed and polished it. Did mohmes car too. Now I'm gonna sit here and

At least a dozen door scuffs. That many stone chips. and my wife wonders why I park at the end of a parking lot. Eh... it's better than it was.

 

Looks good Harv.

 

Thank you bubba. So now I have to wait for it to rain to see if this stuff works.

 

First you shamed me to take it to the car wash, then you made me wax it, then you made me clean the insides, then you made me clay bar it, then you made me buy some kinda water beading stuff, next you'll make me buy rims and tires

 

Just took the garbage out and walking up the driveway, it does look good. How long do you have to wait from the time you spray it on until you wipe it off? That beading stuff.

 

Don't forget the random orbital polisher.

 

Not sure I use some other stuff.

 

This was last night polishing the boat and the rudder. After you did all that aluminum I should have just called you Harv.

 

I cant wait to see em in sunlight. It was very overcast and cool.

 

I could drink beer and point!

 

Uh huh... I'll be doing the pete next

 

Use this with a cloth wheel. Shines like nobody's business

 

Back in BLACKKKK !

 

Eh... maybe a harbor freight orbital polisher.

 

X2 I have put a ton of hours on a Porter Cable.

 

I'd skip the harbor model too. Yeah it works and it's cheap but for a little more you can get one that works better, is less fatiguing to use, is quieter, and will last longer. Porter cable or griots. You won't be sorry. I went the HF route and now have a Griots, I wish I went that route from the beginning.

 

Yeah @driverdog Jim made me do ceramic coating. I washed my previous truck 3 time in 3 years, and not again for 12 years, I wash this one every two weeks. But the ceramic is badass. Topped with reload. Today's storm left the water running off. What was left puddled like jello on the hood and rolled off like a tsunami when I hit the brakes. I still won't keep adding top coats, reload is supposed to last 6 months, I have 11 months on it now. Beach, trails or mud, the stuff washes off easily. I'm told I'm doing it correctly. Don't keep changing things. Do it right and your life is easy, at least for truck cleaning.

 

This is a good example of doing it the right way and using a product as intended. Lots of people think that using certain products is a waste of money and just for looks. What you quickly learn after using some of these high end detailing products is that they not only offer great paint protection but also make cleaning so much easier. Sap and bugs used to take a lot of work to get off my paint, and sometimes it left permanent damage. Now with a good sealant, bugs and sap wipe off with ease with no damage to the clear coat. I have hydro2/reload on my truck, washing and drying time is easily cut in half because of the sealant. Ceramic is even better than what I have, it does all that for years and years. Detailing is Not just for good looks, a shiny truck is just a perk that comes along with properly taking care of your vehicle.

 

I'll wash it this weekend.
