Well, haven't posted any pics lately

of my truck.

I started my winter routine a little early this year. This past weekend I cleaned it with AIO and then over two days put on two coats of SG.

I like the look alright, but I like the Wolfgang's look better topped with my favorite wax... Souveran.

The plan is simple from here till spring: wash and a new coat of SG any chance I get.
 
I used the GR-40 and Trim-a-Shield on wheel flares, mirrors, molding and bumpers, etc. Turned out very nice. Thanks to Anthony Orosco for this tip off.
 
" ... started my winter routine a little early this year".

Is this one of those events that indicates an early & hard winter, you know, like wooly caterpillars, longer hair on deer, and squirrels burying stuff deeper?

If so, the shine on your truck says this winter is going to be a $%*@#$!%.

Nice work, the trim looks excellent
 
Truck looks really good Kee man. Your trim is something else. Talk about clean. Mr. Orosco is dead on with that product recommendation. Who is that in the window taking pictures of your truck?:lol

Scotty!! That is looking great!! I too like the look of Wolfgang better, but the durability of SG is greater, and I guess that means more, to me at least, during the winter.
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments.

NYV6Coup... No, this is not a portend of things to come for winter - I hope! :)

Nick... Yep, me too on the durability, hence the SG instead of WG's this winter. Wanted to try it - first time for me. I was using UPP and EX last year and it did very well for me, but wanted to give the AIO and SG a shot this year and see how it holds up.

rollman... Timonex is the manufacturer on the bottles. Here's a link to the site and product: http://www.topoftheline.com/trimmolreski.html

Rick... That is me in the picture in my neighbor's window. Sheez, I wonder if I can get arrested for that. I mean, does my reflection in my neighbor's window constitute voyeurism!
 
Looks great!

I have to deal with either Klasse, Duragloss, Zaino, or UPP for winter. I'm not amazingly stunned about the look of them compared to Wolfgang or Poorboy's EX, but I will live :) . Carnuaba toppers are key too.

How do you like the TOL kit? Any closeups of the trim. I am really interested in this stuff.
 
GSRstilez... Thanks. I didn't get the whoile kit but instead bought the Trim-a-Shield and clear. I did also use it on the lower portion of the front bumper, the gray area. I like it alot. In all cases it darkened everything. A very good product.
 
keeotee: For the GR-40, did you just leave it or dress after it? I hear the GR-40 does such a great job, you really don't need to touch it past there.

For the clear, did you do your lighting or just the trim?

I just did the trim. You are supposed to neutralize the GR-40 with vinegar after drying it off and then apply the clear.

I used the clear because of the protrective qualities. I'm finding that the trim takes a good beating from weather and such and if I don't keep up with it, it does degrade in appearance.

I've been using PB's Trim Restorer and I really like it alot too and it's done a very good job for me, so I will no doubt be using both.

Also, you asked me if I had any closeups and I'm sorry I forgot to reply concerning that, but I didn't have any really close up shots to post.

I should add though that the one pic does show it as what it really is. Believe me when I say that had I only washed and not treated the trim, it wouldn't look nearly as good.
 
trim-a-shield

I'm interested in Trim-a-shield. I have similar fender flares on my Toyota Tacoma.

Did you use the black Trim-a-shield then the clear? Or just the clear?

What is the consistency of the Trim-a-shield? Is it a thin product or thick? Just trying to get an idea of the product, I might purchase the kit from TOL.

BTW, the truck looks great.
 
Contact Irene @ TOL for all the info. Or possibly Anthony Orosco on DC here if he has the time

I used the clear. I didn't get the black.

It's a liquid and thicker than water. I'm not sure how to describe it.


Anthony Orosco did a thread on a red porche and in that he mentioned this product. It's worht checking out.
