231,000 mile Tacoma correction detail by Immaculate Reflections

[gofast908z]

Miguel is a new Marine and was going to be stationed on the other side of the country, in an area that he would need a capable truck. So he picked up this Tacoma and brought it to me to get it looking a bit better before heading out. The truck looked very good for 231,000 miles so after the correction was done I set him up with all the washing media he would need to maintain it properly. While not a full correction, a solid 90%+ correction was achieved in 16 hours. Its fun to work on cars once in a while that don't normally get this kind of attention.

Thank you for your service Miguel and stay safe!

Defects on the hood

The bug deflector had seen better days

After just one round of compounding it was much improved. A little sandblasted from many thousands of miles of driving, but looking considerably better.

After all compounding, polishing, rewashing, and sealing with Blackfire Wet Diamond the truck looked great. Here are the final pictures.

Scratches on bumper were all the way through the paint and could not be fixed without repainting.

Thanks for checking it out!

That's great! That Tacoma has many years of useful service left in her. I'm glad someone showed her some love!

I want to give you "props" on the work you have done, at the same time however, "props" go out to the people keeping this Tacoma running for 231,000 miles...I think that's great....If he is ever in Central Alabama have him look up GlassReflections...I'll keep his Tacoma on the right path.
