Ok, since I`ve been out for a week, I have about 12 Show N` Shines to post! This one is a new Tacoma that was just bought by a close friend of my brother and I. He has had it about 2 weeks and I`ve finally got around to getting protected for him. I washed it when he got.......he didn`t let the dealer!........and I notice no swirls. So, this one was going to be fun and easy! Hey, no inside to do either!
Wash Cycle:
(NXT Tech Wash/Dawn Mix (1oz. of each and 30oz.`s of water) via Foam Gun)
I sprayed the entire vehicle down. Tons of foam! People actually stopped and came out of their cars to watch! I let it soak for 5 minutes and rinsed. I then followed this up with a semi-rinseless wash with DP`s 4-in-1. Wheels, tires, and wells too. Super easy and fast this way........no worries about spotting either!
Paint Correction & Protection:
(XMT`s 360 with EDGE2K Green pads via Cyclo)
I just wanted to clean and seal the paint. Nothing better for this than 360. I even used it on the windows an mirrors. Very easy to use.......even on a dark color in the sun. I then came back and topped it with Opti-Seal. I used a Wolfgang applicator pad....using the black foam. Two sprays to prime it and then 4 more for the entire vehicle; windows and trim too. This product makes 360 look so good. My bud`s comment was...."I didn`t know it had this MUCH flake in the paint!". I have to admit, it looks pretty good!
The tires and wells were treated with Street Appeal`s Tire Dressing.
Thanks guys! Glad to be back!
Final Results:
Oh the foam!
