231,000 mile Tacoma correction detail by Immaculate Reflections

[GoFast908Z]

Owner is a new Marine and was going to be stationed on the other side of the country, in an area that he would need a capable truck. So he picked up this Tacoma and brought it to me to get it looking a bit better before heading out. The truck looked very good for 231,000 miles so after the correction was done I set him up with all the washing media he would need to maintain it properly. While not a full correction, a solid 90%+ correction was achieved in 16 hours. Its fun to work on cars once in a while that don't normally get this kind of attention.

Thank you for your service and stay safe! :usa:

Passenger side door

Defects on the hood

The bug deflector had seen better days

After just one round of compounding it was much improved. A little sandblasted from many thousands of miles of driving, but looking considerably better.

After all compounding, polishing, rewashing, and sealing with Blackfire Wet Diamond the truck looked great. Here are the final pictures.

Scratches on bumper were all the way through the paint and could not be fixed without repainting.

Thanks for checking it out!

great job, would you say the paint on the truck was easy to work with? My gf 2012 Tacoma was super easy to correct.
