Amateur weekend attempt '13 Toyota Highlander

[Desertnate]

Here is my wife's Toyota Highlander that I worked over this weekend. I had enough of the dealer installed swirls and decided to do something about it. I'll apologize in advance for the poor picture quality. Our good camera was not available at the time and the lighting conditions were far from ideal with what I had.

I used Meguiars UP to knock out the swirls and then followed up with the Klasse twins and a final wipe down with Sonus Glanz just to see what it would do. I was pretty happy with the final results. The car is slippery to the touch and just gleams when the full sun hits it.

Here is the before pictures showing some of the swirls I was dealing with

And the after shots. Roughly the same parts of the car.

Sadly, the pics don't really capture the color or the difference as well as I hoped, but they should show the results of my amateur attempt.

You're amateur attempt is better than a lot of people's results that actually get paid to do this type of thing...


Nice work!

Thank's Mike!

Not to brown-nose, but your video's along with all the photo's and advice here were a huge help in it turning out as well as it did.

WOOHOO! Some Megs UP lovin'.

This was the second car I used it on. The first was an old Subaru and I used it as follow up to UC. It took the finish from smooth and shiny to slick and gleaming.

Since the paint on this Toyota was in much better shape than 'ole Subie I tested the UP and it worked well. I didn't want to go clear to the UC if I didn't need it.
