I have been working on this Toyota Tundra for the past two days. The truck is used on a farm for a variety of dirty chores. I didnt take any before pics, but trust me, it was really dirty inside and out. The exterior had all types of scratches. I attacked this mess with clay, Menzerna Powergloss via the Metabo, followed by OCP via the Metabo. I sealed it with OCW. Before I cleaned the outside, the color looked a dull grey. As you can see now, the color is a vibrant silver with lavender flakes. Here is a hood shot in direct sunlight, and a side angle shot.

Thanks for the complimants fellas. Tundras are bigger than I thought. I underestimated the job a bit. Next time I detail one of these, I am going to charge a bit more:)

Looks good, I just got one thats a darker gray. It seemed to me that it was pretty easy to detail, I cant quite tell you why, it just seemed easier than most. Maybe it was the lines or the paint, I dont know. Turns out great! I guess toyota has some good paint.

I agree that the lines and flat body panels make it easy to detail, but this one was really a mess. I really wish I took before pics. I definitely wanted to do a good job because the guy is the property manager for a celeb who has lots of really nice cars:) Sorry, I cant say which celeb, but he is pretty well known and rich!
