Finally got a weekend to work on my own!!

[mose]

`08 was such a great year for my business that I never really had a chance to work on my own vehicles. I had this last weekend open so I took advantage and worked on the Tundra. I still don`t have anything booked for next weekend so it looks like I am gonna get to do our Accord too!!:woot2:



The last time I did anything "real" with the Tundra was back in late `07 ( I think) and I am sure that I used DG105 and have followed up with multiple coats of AW during the year. I was very happy to see that it help up fairly well. The only issues I had were with the water spots. We have really hard water here and, when the truck is iced over in the mornings, I have to hose it down so that I can see and it spots up. But they seemed to polish out easily!

Thanks!!! It was wierd to work on my own vehicle!! When I got all done I told my wife that it felt wierd to not be waiting for a customer to come pick up their car and pay me! :laugh: But driving it around then last couple of days has been great!!

Very nice Tundra! its very rewarding finishing your own ride ;) get to do my wifes car this weekend in the shop, post up pics of the Accord when you get it done

Nice job man. Good to see you put the truck to good abuse :).

The truck looks good. Just noticed a bit of dust still in the wheel... Right in the lip where the wheel weights mount (unless it is peeling). I know this a common area of collection as I work as a detailer at a Toyota dealer. (I am one of the autopian car dealership detailers, one of the most rare unheard of detailers around, not a scratch inducer).
