07 FJ Cruiser, 04 Avalanche

I prepped it last may with:

op
FK1 2180
FK1 1000

The paint was still in very good shape. FK1 sure makes durable protectants!

Cleaned the interior and protected everything with FK1 #108

pressure wash/optimum shampoo
clay (barely needed it)
Poli Seal
FK1 #1000
FK1 #108 on trim
FK1 FX100 on wheels
FK1 #425 on windows/paint
Meg's Hyper Dressing 4:1 on tires/wells

Before



After

Excellent job on both.

I may have to try some more FK products, all your details come out so nice.

Re: 07 FJ Cruiser, 04 Avalanche

I would think the out side of the Avalanche would be more dirty on the outside from looking at the inside. You did a great job of brining it back to life.
