New Image Auto Detailing: 2006 Tundra

[kakeuter]

Cleaned up a Tundra for a repeat customer today. He was concerned about the amount of gloss and lack of protection. Upon arrival it was clear that the paint was pretty oxidized.

Time and customer budget only allowed for a 1-step correction to remove the oxidation and restore the gloss.

Sorry for the lack of pictures in this one, it was cold and cloudy.

Befores

Zero reflection, just chalk-ness

Took forever to perform decon:
Foam→Dwell→Rinse→Crevices cleaned up with APC and Swissvax brush
Foam→2BM wash→Rinse→Iron Cut→Wash→Rinse
Clay→Rinse→Wash→Rinse→Dry….FOREVER

Iron cut – not great lighting outside today

Test section on driver’s rear door

Close-up of the same area – gloss restored

Driver’s side complete

Not only did the tires require much work to remove the muck, the rims were nasty

Before

After

Afters – sorry but the sun was gone all day and it was starting to get dark

Chrome really came out looking good

Thanks for looking!

What was used for your one step?

Nicely done... single stage paint? I always wondered why so many imports use single stage for white...

I used M205 and an Uber green pad

Nice work, I'm getting ready to do my white 4Runner and it's single stage paint too. I've done some spot correction and it's a breeze to work on I thought.

Great work on that Tundra, man it was FLAT!
