So my neighbor asked if I could help get his new used Tacoma ready for a trip up to SC that he is taking. He bought the truck a month or so ago and it's been kept outside without being washed. I forgot to take some before pictures, but the car was really dirty. The rims where really dark grey and we didn't know that his paint was a metallic silver. The car has a lot of burned on water marks and some moderate swirls which I will remove at a later date.
Process:
Exterior
- Sprayed tires, wheel wells and mud flaps with DP Exterior Cleanse-All and agitated with Mother's fender well brush.
- Cleaned rims with DP Gel Wheel Cleaner and OXO brush
- Washed with NXT in foam gun with Shmitt.
- Clayed real quick with Zaino clay bar, car needs some serious claying done. We made a little list of stuff he needs to get so we can take care of his car.
- DP Krystal Vision on windows
- Klasse AIO on windshield
- Klasse AIO on paint
- DP Surface Shield Sealant 12 hr cure time
- Meg's #24
- PB's TR on all trim
- Pinnacle Black Onyx tire gel (one front tire) and AA Extreme Tire gel on the others. Sort of an impromptu durability test.
Interior
- Vacuumed and spot cleaned interior
- Wiped down all surfaces with Meg's QID
