Hello everyone, I have a White 2006 Tundra that has Toyota's single stage mix paint. I think it is a tough paint, but it also oxides and absorbs stains very easy. Much easier than my wife's 09 Silver Jeep GC. I also think the paint makes the wax not hold up nearly as long as the Jeep. When I first got the truck in 2010 it was badly oxidized. It looked very similar to the truck in this thread, so I polished it using a rotary and UC.
Since then, I have been able to maintain a high gloss by just waxing it with a carnuba paste wax, but the wax does not seem to last very long, and the worst part is how the paint absorbs stains. Bug guts and especially tar take a ton of elbow grease and various products to remove. Again, much more than my wife's bc/cc Jeep.
So, someone in that thread mentioned using a sealant to cut down on the amount of waxing throughout the year. I am wondering A) what is a sealant, and B) if that could be the solution to my stain absorption and wax longevity problems?
I have an array of consumer line Megs products and a G110v2 with a few pads.
Can someone recommend a process and product list to get this truck up to par with the resiliency of a base coat/clear coat finish?
Thanks!
