I need help from the "hive mind".
I`m a self-proclaimed "weekend warrior" that is getting ready to make my first, BIG purchases. As in "this became an addiction very fast" big orders.
I`ve got a `99 Black Toyota Tacoma 4x4 truck that has had a pretty rough life. Has spent most of it`s time outdoors (not in garage). Paint is fairly oxidized, tons of swirls and scratches, and is horribly faded.
What is the consensus on the best mix of compound / polish and sealant and / or wax, to use to not only correct the paint, but give it that "wet" look?
I`ve read / heard that the Toyota`s have soft paint, so I don`t want to damage it, but it needs heavy correction. Is a purple foamed wool too much....or should I just stick with yellow or orange with M105?
I`m going to be getting a foam lance for washing, and a Griots Garage 6" and either LC or Uber 5.5 inch pads, as well as a 4" inch plate and pads.
Should I do:
1) M105 (compound)
2) M205 (polish)
3) Menzerna Powerlock (sealant) ??
Do I / should add some actual wax to give a black truck that "wet" look at the end?
Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your time.
