  • Wanna Make My Dark Gray Metallic Taco POP

    Hey Guys I've just finished with my 2nd Lexus And because of the Champagne colors (not a drama color) I couldn't tell how good I am or how bad. My wife is visiting her sisters this weekend and I'll finally have a chance to work on my new Taco. Because this truck is really my first darker color I really want to make this one look wet . I've already used the clay and worked with the Color X and my 7424xp. Give me some suggestions on what to use next to get it to pop. I've got so #7 here at home but I can get my hands on anything you tell me to use, I want to turn some heads! Thanks everybody.

    Here's a pic of an envoy I did, It was heavily swirled and had several areas that short of a wet sand were unfixable. Being a DD and because the owner just wanted an improvement it's not perfect. Should be close in color to the Taco.
    Process:
    1. wash- GC car wash
    2. Clay
    3. M105
    4. M205
    5. M21



    As for your process #7 is a great follow up if it's already defect free and then apply your favorite wax on top

            As an added step, you can put on an application of a pure polish. Like Deep crystal polish. Remember, put the polish on before any waxes.
