Hi All,



Here's the 2000 white Corolla I had detailed today. The Corolla was really in bad shape. Forget about the swirls, this Corolla was chalky by touch and no gloss what so ever. The results after 7 hours is below. First, here are the steps I took to achieve the Autopia look. :)



1. Car Wash with NXT Car Shampoo.

2. Clayed with ClearKote Clay with Poorboy's Spray & Wipe

3. Car Wash with NXT Car Shampoo.

4. Removed heavy oxidation with Makita 9227 rotary w/ 8 1/2" white LC CE pad using DACP. The Makita is the bomb! :xyxthumbs It really does save a lot of time.

5. Removed heavy oxidation with PC 7336 w/ 6 1/2" yellow LC pad with DACP for those hard to reach areas where the rotary would not reach.

6. Used PC 7336 w/ 6 1/2" white LC pad with Poorboy's SSR1 to bring back gloss.

7. Applied 1x AIO by hand.

8. Applied 1x SG by hand.

9. Top it off with Natty's Paste Wax by hand.

10. Dressed the tires with Poorboy's BNB and buffed off with yellow foam applicator pad

11. Vacuum interior with Rigid Wet/Dry vac.

12. Cleaned and dressed interior with Poorboy's Natural Look



Then I called it a day. Damn, I'm exhausted. :D



I could only get the after pics. Because when I first started, it was slightly overcast so the pics wouldn't have come out the way I wanted.



*Edit*



Seven (7) pics to follow....
 
Here is pic #4....And my white 4Runner is in the background. Isn't she a beauty. :D

Wow :bow



The results are worth the effort! I just did a RX300 on Sunday with heavy waterspotting and red dirt (owner lives in Kaaawa and commutes to Ko Olina daily). Thought I had it tough.....



Almost as bad as the guy whose 2002 PT Cruiser I detailed a couple of months ago. Each chrome rim took me 45 minutes to an hour to polish because of the baked on brake dust! I asked him when he last washed his car and he replied, "Two weeks.....after I bought it." I couldn't find a muscle that didn't ache the next day.



But they were very happy with their vehicles so the effort was entirely worth it.



Great job. And yes, you do have an awesome 4Runner!
 
:confused: You buffed the tires after you applied the tire dressing? Please elaborate. Sounds interesting...
