On Saturday, I helped a friend clean up the paint on his truck. He has a 2005 black Tacoma that had some wash/drying marring and a few other paint imperfections such as sap & tar. He washed & clayed the week before. When he brought it over, we gave it a quickie wash and proceeded to the polishing.

The reason I say "educational" detail is that he is more or less new to polishing with a machine. I had shown him before a technique for using the PC 7336. This time I had him do the final polishing on the vehicle.

Process was:
Quickie wash
Cyclo w/ ornage light cut/polish pad - SSR2.5
PC w/Edge blue polish pad - Pro Polish
sealant - Wolfgang

Time was limited, and aiming at removing the paint imperfections is all we had planned. No interior work or anything was done. This took a little longer than I would have liked, but it was a learning experience.

Overall, he was very happy with the results. I would say that it`s about 98% scratch & marr free. I tried to do some explaining about proper wash techniques during the detail as well.
