My Detailed 4Runner - 56k warning!

I'm off for the summer, and what better way to spend a week than detailing my car?

First off was the Interior. 1:10 dilution APC+ on mats got them pretty clean. I used 1Z Cockpit Premium and Tiefenpfleger on the interior trim pieces. Leather got Leatherique RO and PC followed by Zaino Z10 with 303 on the vinyl portions of the seats.



Exterior:
I used 1:2 dilution of APC+ in wheel wells and undercarriage. I spent the whole day with a long brush cleaning these parts.

For the paint, I did: Z7 wash, clay magic, PB's SSR2 with a LC orange pad followed by 6 coats of Z5 w/ZFX with Z6 in between each coat and 24 hours between the first 3 coats and the last 3 coats. The roof rack, light housings and exhaust tip were polished with PB's PP and got the Zaino treatment as well. Exterior Glass got IG and tires got PB's BnB.

Okay, enough on the process, here are the pictures:

The Zaino looks really nice on that color. Great job on the detail.

You always go all out on your details and I love that.

Excellent work! Keep it up!

Are you planning on doing a topper?

Thanks everbody!

ZaneO: Thanks! I'm loving Zaino on this color. The fact that it lasts more than 6 months is a plus since I don't have the time to add another coat once in a while (I'm lucky to get a wash in 2 times a month).

GSRstilez: Thanks! I figure I should take my time and go all out when detailing my own car making sure everything is perfect. I topped a fender with S100 and didn't see much improvement, so I'm just going to leave it alone, it's been an exhausting week!

du3ce: Thanks! This was actually my 3rd color choice and I was lucky enough that this one was still available since it was at the end of the year. I'm loving this color though, it's rare, doesn't show swirls too much and looks clean even with dust on it.

Buick_guy: Thanks! Yup, it'll probably be the cleanest it is until I get a chance to go all out on it again!

PakShak: Thanks, I love your 4Runner too! I'm loving your towels as well!
