Started around 12AM and finished around 7AM, yeah, i know, im committed :rofl . Anyways this is my mom's car so its always going through the car wash even though i tell her not to :furious: . But there is not much i can do about that except detail it about once or twice a year when i come home since im at college. Sorry there were no before pictures because, well i was in a rush and there was not enough light for good before pictures anyways :-0 . Process included a megauirs nxt shampoo for the initial wash. Then Eagle 1 all wheel and tire cleaner (simple spray on spray off no touch stuff). I also put that in the wheel well areas. Worked pretty well considering i didnt touch the wells or the wheels with a single brush, till it was time to dry. For polishing i used the Poorboy's SSR2 with a green propel pad since i believed ssr 2.5 was too agressive for the amount of swirls and SSR 1 was not aggressive enough. After that I added some left over Meguiars NXT paste wax with the blue propel pad. Stoner's invisible glass on the outside for the windows. 303 Protectant on most trimming and wheel wells. Eagle1 wet tire shine VERY liberally on the tires since i like a true black look more than shiny black. Almost forgot, 303 Protectant on the running boards also. And no polishing (SSR 2) on the top of the 4Runner, just the NXT wax on the roof since i was running out of time :LOLOL . Let me tell you this, the first time couple times i detailed this car, it never came out this good so this time i took pictures just as the sun was coming out (7AM).



And here are the pictures:

The 4-Runner looks great. I cant wait to do mine. I have a 2004 Natural White, Sport Edition. I just got my 7424 and cant wait to use it. I just need to find the time to do it! Having an 8 month old is not helping me any! Nice waork though, the cars look great!
 
thanks, they're nice suvs. The white was a color that we were also considering buying between the too, it looks great and is easy to take care of, not that this color is hard :grinno: .
 
Turned out really nice! :)



BTW, perfect color for people who hate to wash their cars since it doesn't look dirty even when it is. ;)
