Re: Faded red paint on Toyota Pickup

Finished the buff job on the truck today and waxed the bed twice. I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

What I used for detailing:
- Meguiars Ultimate Compound (applied by hand)
- Meguiars Gold Class paste wax (applied by hand)
- Meguiars Deep Crystal car wash soap

Great job going from pink to red! And extra kudos for doing it all by hand!

Re: Faded red paint on Toyota Pickup

Anyone have any quick options on what I can do for the finish on the inside of the bed?

It's still a pink but honestly I'd rather not get on my knees and do the whole floor. Can I use anything quick to get it back to a decent shine?

Bedliner?

Re: Faded red paint on Toyota Pickup

Don't know if I want to invest in a bedliner right now honestly. Probably Rhino Line it down the road but I can't afford that at the moment.

Could always just cleaner/wax or something to save some steps.

Re: Faded red paint on Toyota Pickup

What a transformation, and all by hand! It's rewarding to see that kind of result, and knowing that you saved yourself a bundle by not having to do a repaint. Now all that's needed is proper and regular maintenance to keep it looking that way. You must have more muscles in your arms. Kidding aside, the difference is night and day, Meguiars does make great consumer products, and Ultimate Compound is one compound that has given me great results. But I don't know if I have the endurance to do all the oxidation removal by hand, will probably be too tired to do it even if done in stages.
