'06 Toyota Tundra

This truck has 46,000 miles on it, and belongs to a builder. He frequently takes his dog to jobsites with him. The area we live in has a lot of red mud, so the interior was really dirty...there was a layer of red mud gunk on the leather and carpet. The exterior wasn't bad, but there were several scuffs from it being a work truck.

Now to the exterior (kind of boring...it's white)...
Door handles were scratched from jewelry and finger nails...

Re: '06 Toyota Tundra

nice job on the leather, what did you use?

Looked like a smokers car at first with that leather all stained.

Great job.

Re: '06 Toyota Tundra

I hope you know that the bottom bolster is damaged and no amount of cleaning will bring it back. I am specifically talking about that tan strip. This is classic wear with the coating worn down to the bare leather. I am not sure if the owner cares, but it would need to be recoated.

Re: '06 Toyota Tundra

Thanks for all the compliments...

M105 and a foam applicator was used (by hand) in the door handle cups. I don't even use ScratchX any more...just M105.

For the leather, I used Woolite/Water, a microfiber rag, a terry cloth rag, and a horse hair brush.
