Detailed: Lifted 2003 Tacoma

LikeaRock · 08-09-2006, 06:09 PM

Dolled up my brothers new truck for him today. It's a 2003 Tacoma 3.5? ltr 5 speed 4WD. 6" Fabtech lift, 315 BFG Mud Terrains, tinted windows, smoked tails, etc. Lucky bastage got the truck from money he won off his bike crash last summer (lady pulled out on him, he crashed into her, got close to 200K for it...)

Anyway, I did a detail last Thursday but of course you've got to off road a new truck, so today I washed it and applied my final topcoat of wax. The detail included:

Wheels/Wells/Undercarraige:
Simple Green 2:1 on wells, sidewalls of tires, all over frame/underneath
Wheels hit with wash mitt/soapy water
AA Origonal in wells, frame, undercarraige
NXT Insane Shine (aeresol) on tires
P&S Ultracoat Wax on wheels

Paint:
Wash w/ Megs Deep Crystal (I really like the suds it produces)
Solutions Plus Clay, Lacquer Thinner to remove some road tar/sap
P&S Ultracoat Polish via green foam Edge pad @ 1500 RPM's
Ultracoat via Blue Edge pad @ 1400 RPM's
P&S Ultracoat Sealant X1 by hand

Misc:
303 protectant on mirrors
Meguiars Exterior Trim Detailer (aeresol) on window trim, door handles, etc

Today, I applied P&S Velocity Glaze followed by Par-K Wax, a liquid carnauba that goes on/off very easy. creates almost no dust during removal and almost NOTHING sticks to this stuff, I really like it. It leaves a really deep shine on darker colors. Not the wettest but really clear and plenty of depth. Here's the final results

Rock chips are the root of all evil

I can't decide whether or not the last or 2nd to last picture is my favorite, both show how reflective the finish is

Questions/Comments/Advice?

No, but the previous owner could have been an owner. We're out in Ca up in the North Bay
