well, another detail!. This time its a first generation toyota tundra dressed up in single stage super white II paint. This paint is really hard compared to most others, it just so happens my car has same paint so I know it very well. The paint on this vehicle was not too bad with swirls or rids. it was actually suprising the low amount of swirls but thats really hard paint for you!. of course you think this would be easy but not so much as the truck was oxidized. I wish i could have done a multiple step polish on this vehicle but alas, the budget did not allow for it. budget really did not allow for a one step polish but i did it regardless because i wanted to make sure it looked great, and the client got the durability I told her when we were discussing getting the exterior detailed. In the end she was ecstatic when she seen her truck. The main purpose of this detail was to get it cleaned up, remove the oxidation, bring up the gloss, and add great protection to the paint to make it easy for pollen removal while being within budget. Now onto the products/process used.
Process:
Wash using XMT Gel Shampoo & Conditioner- 1.5 Oz to 2.5 Gal h2o With Cobra Supreme Wash Mit
Clean Tires/Wheel Wells Using Meguiars APC+ 4:1 Dilution
Clean Wheels using Meguiars Wheel Brightener 10:1 Dilution
Clay using Clay Magic Blue With Detailers Pro Rinseless Wash & Gloss 1 3/4 OZ:30oz h2o for lube
Polish Using Meguiars Ultimate Compound on a mixture of Lake Country And Buff&Shine 5.5" White Polishing Pads using a Porter Cable 7346.
Waxed using Collinite 845 on a 5.5" Red LC Pad using a Porter Cable 7346 then topped off using Optimum Car Wax.
Tires Dressed using Optimum Opti-Bond spread via a car wash sponge half.
Wheel Wells Dressed using Armor-All Tire Foam(only good use of this product) then buffed off with a generic Microfiber Towel.
Wheels Sealed using Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0.
Chrome Polished/Protected using same product/methods as the paint, protected using Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0.
Trim Protected using Meguiars Ultimate Black via sponge applicator, let sit for 20 minutes and buffed off.
Head Lights and Tail Lights Polished same as the paint, they were not bad off just hazed and a tad bit yellow.
Before Pictures; These pictures were taken after the wash. And dont mind the date in the pictures. forgot to turn time stamps off!.

Write up is now done!. However, i do have one question with a problem i could not correct at this time the wheels have some sort of corrosion happening and making the paint bubble up and flake away thought it was brake dust untill i was cleaning them and realized it was not. so has anyone ran into this? if so what did you do to correct the problem? (if it was my vehicle i would bring it to toyota or get them repainted myself).
Picture Below shows the issue and its on all wheels.

i had a different one before but it was too generic and way too long and a tongue twister sort of lol. always gotta do a 50/50 when theres going to be a dramatic difference. that and i did that to show the owner when she came out. saved the other part of the hood for last
