    It has some different mechanical features as well as some other upgrades, but yea, I don't see the 30k worth personally.

    A friend of ours left her car at our place while she does some traveling. I couldn't stand looking at how dirty it was so started cleaning it, using it as a test bed.20200727_161442.jpg

    I mostly washed it and not waterless washed it as a stress reliever and get some outside time with the girls as they helped me wash. So it really wasn't a quality wash. lol

    What’s funny is I told the wife damn it’s a nice truck but I’d still get a sequoia over it. I like the space a sequoia offers up over the cruiser plus ain’t no way in hell I’d pay that much for a vehicle. It’s like a really dope boat fun to fish on but glad it’s not mine.

    Looks better than started after polishing few coats, but good God the paint chips on this thing, I think I know why it was so dirty now.20200728_144504.jpg 20200728_144401.jpg

    Polished the back of rv finally, lot of oxidation and faded gelcoat. Used the Meg's RV 3 polish kit, can say I don't recommend personally. Used the oxidation polish with a uro fiber pad, left awful swirls and really bad dusting. Next tried the gloss polish with a LC orange pad, was a little better but not much. Decided to bust out the Shine supply burn out with LC orange pad, results were 1000% better. IPA wipe after, beadmaker to top, came out pretty well. Definitely can't recommend the Meg's RV kit, I didn't have good results. Before and after pics, kinda hard to see.

    Tried Griots 3-in-1 today. Super humid but only in the 80s....was insanely tough to apply by spray wax standards. Maybe I used too much? Streaking everywhere. Had to level it out with a microfiber that was moistened with the product.

    This car was also coated with M27 (meguiar's pro version of ceramic wax with a 1 year rating) 4 months ago, so that may play a part in it who knows.

    Gotcha. I have had no issues with streaking and it is humid as hell here. But I’ve never done it outside always in a garage. Door open in the garage btw not climate controlled. But like always the vehicles have been white for the exception of my fj. I’m doing the green t4r this weekend so we will see if that effects anything lol. On half the hood I spray 5 times give or take so I don’t know how much you have on it.

    Possibly used to much. It takes very little. I barely mist it at all. Regardless, it is prone to streaking. I’ve tested it during different times of day. First thing in the morning it goes on pretty easily. Once it’s hot and humid it becomes a lot tougher. Have to do very small sections, one spray and immediately wipe it off. Don’t even attempt it in direct sunlight.

    It dries very quickly, so you can’t let it sit at all. I did my truck a couple of weeks ago and had to be very diligent. The two vehicles I did in the spring were a lot easier.

    For waxes:

    Meguiar's Flagship Premium Marine Wax https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007TR47G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I also use the paste wax version of the Flagship. Different conditions (sun/shade, heat, humidity) dictates if I use paste or liquid. Labeled as "marine" but I have used it on RVs and other fiberglass projects alike....does a great job. They make a polish/wax (essentially an AIO polish) that you may be able to follow up the compound with if you have heavy oxidization to skip the polish and then waxing stage and do it at once. Haven't used it, but if it's anything like the other 3M products, it's bound to do great.

    Smaller sections to combat the humidity and the Griots 3-in-1 did great. Didn't give it any time to dwell and get fussy. So it's picky, but so far I enjoy it.

    Thank you. She is getting there. What this truck looks like now is a direct result of this forum. Can’t wait to see how the wheels look tomorrow.
