Thanks to you guys, I know enough to be dangerous :) I used to wash my car/truck every 6 months whether they needed it or not.



Here`s the steps I used on my truck and my wife`s 4Runner:



1. Turtle wax zip wash (already had it in the garage)

2. Clayed with Eagle One QD and buffed with MF

3. AIO applied with PC and white LC 6.5 pad and buffed with MF

4. SG applied with grey/black LC 6.5 pad and buffed with MF towel

Let the SG dry for about 15 hours on my truck and yes, I used too much :)



Removing the SG was tough on the truck so I used some of the Eagle One QD to aid in removing it. I used the WOWO on the 4Runner and that was much easier...hope this method provides the same protection. Unless I hear good reasons not to, I plan on using WOWO in the future.



It was overcast today so the reflections in the pics aren`t all that great.
