Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd finally make an account and post up.



I am a 18 y/o guy from Georgia that loves detailing. I'm not extremely into it but I like getting and keeping my truck clean.



As for what I drive, I have a 2003 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V8. It has Natural White (Code 056) paint which is a single stage (I think that is the correct term, if it isn't then is doesn't have a clear coat) paint which is slightly faded and oxidized, only on certain body panels (it was a pervious fleet vehicle, no accidents) and I have been trying to correct that (ill make a different thread for that in the appropriate section)



My first car (truck rather) was a 1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6. I lost her in a accident 2 moths after my mom gave it to me. Wasn't my fault, a guy in a Honda Accord pulled out in front of me and I couldn't stop in time.



Then bought a 2003 Toyota Highlander Base 2.4L 4 cylinder. Traded it in on my current 4Runner.



I always liked washing cars as a kid, but about 6-7 months after getting the highlander I started getting into waxing, doing complete interior details, etc. anyways here are some pictures!

Hopefully after the rain were expecting & the cold I have goes away ill be compounding, polishing and giving her a good wax & detail since December (we've had some really crappy weather lately) but until them it's sitting around the house sick as a dog watching depressing T.V shows..... Heh.

Welcome! That accident pic looks pretty bad! These Toyota trucks run forever. Keep up the appearance and you're set!

It was pretty scary. Hit him at 60 or so MPH and walked away. It had 136k miles and it had been in the family for 8 years. I was 16 and almost had to go to the hospital for a extreme panic attack. Just thankful no one was hurt, it could have been a lot worse than it turned out to be. That truck was quite a tank, and boy was it a life saver, literally.
