    I did this a few months ago and here's the write-up lol
    This 4Runner needed some TLC after a few years of good use. It was full of RIDS, swirls, and scuffs.

    Excellent work Drew. My dad owned one just like this one. They are great SUV's.

    Thanks G! Yes they are cool and this one had the AWD and V8! It handled very well on the on ramp to the freeway after getting her some gas ;)

    Damn. That thing was BAD. Phenomenal job! Would've loved to have seen that dirt pit of an engine bay, afterwards, lol.

    Thanks! I didn't realize that I forgot to take an after pic of the engine bay. It was a quick clean up as my client was waiting.

    One of my good clients has one of these. Albeit a 2005 I believe. Cleaned up very well! He did have a front guard, full roof rack, as well as a badass borla exhaust. The V8 sounds damn good! The average fuel economy on the trip computer though... was something about 16mpg. Small price to pay.

    I used D300 on a microfiber and the silver was gleaming. Not perfect correction, and I don't believe I took photos of that one. He also had a 2011 GTi that came out perfect... sadly lost that memory card.

    Nice work! I had a white 08 SR5, good truck but the rotten egg smell from the cats drove me crazy. Was a lease and it stunk from day 1, brought it back to the dealership several times. In the end just stopped putting the rear window down.

    Thanks Luke! Yea, I think the trip computer showed about 20mpg on this one.

    Thanks! That sucks. I remember in high school with my friend's bronco when he floored it and had the rear window down having that smell as well.
    My guess is that the cats were bad in your SR5.
