Thanks fellow geeks ....... My truck is clean, whatcha think?

[UglyBetty]

Just a general shout out to all who contribute to this forum. I was always good at making a vehicle shine, but I'm 100 times smarter (& poorer) after reading this forum for the last year or so. I have learned a lot about tools, products, and technique here.

This is a 2008 Tundra, well cared for, but occasionally abused. Here is a brief list of the products I used.

M105 (just on scratches)
M205 everywhere
IPA wipe (15%)
Collinite 845

Used a combo of flex polishers and CCS pads........it looked good before, great now.

It's not perfect, but looks good all things considered.

Nicely done!

Is it my eyes, but it sure seems that Toyota does a decent job on painting. I DON'T see a lot (if any) orange peel!

It's there, particularly on the side / doors, but very little elsewhere. The truck does seem to scratch easier than other trucks I've had, but may be more noticeable due to the darker color.

Hah! She is a fan of detailing too, in a roundabout way.........she gets to lay in the front yard and chew on a bone while I work!
