Cleaned up a Tundra for a repeat customer today. He was concerned about the amount of gloss and lack of protection. Upon arrival it was clear that the paint was pretty oxidized. Time and customer budget only allowed for a 1-step correction to remove the oxidation and restore the gloss. Sorry for the lack of pictures in this one, it was cold and cloudy. Befores Zero reflection, just chalk-ness Took forever to perform decon: Foam→Dwell→Rinse→Crevices cleaned up with APC and Swissvax brush Foam→2BM wash→Rinse→Iron Cut→Wash→Rinse Clay→Rinse→Wash→Rinse→Dry….FOREVER Iron cut – not great lighting outside today Test section on driver’s rear door Close-up of the same area – gloss restored Driver’s side complete Not only did the tires require much work to remove the muck, the rims were nasty Before After Afters – sorry but the sun was gone all day and it was starting to get dark Chrome really came out looking good Thanks for looking! -Kody-
Amazing turnaround. Do you mind sharing which polish you used to remove the oxidation? I have a single stage Honda Civic (early 90's) that I've been avoiding for a while that has the same issue.
Great work Kody, I had an 06 white Tacoma that had the exact same issue, definitely a great turnaround.
Kody - Great work and finish ! Looks like new ! How hard do you think this paint was? What did you end up using for your LSP? Congrats on a beautiful job - those Tundra trucks are huge ! Dan F
Thank you! Should be a great truck for him now. Thanks Dan, I don't think the paint was too hard considering the way it cleaned up with M205. LSP was BFWD. Started to sprinkle right as we pulled in the garage and it was beading strong. Thanks MIke! They are starting to get me tired, still have a massive F350 to prep for winter when I have time!
