Since owning my Land Cruiser it has only received bi-annual car washes, regular maintenance and a diet of 87 octane fuel. It has been my delivery and tow vehicle for the past 3 years and 45K miles. It performed every duty I ask of her with out any hesitation. When I bought a Tundra to fill in for her duties this year. I wanted to reward her for the years of service. I decided to do an extreme make over of her since she is now a garage queen.
I attended one of Meguiars Thursday Night Open Garage classes in Irvine, California. I have learned so much from the Mike and the gang. Here is the link to the TNOG with some pictures of the Land Cruiser. Pictures from Thursday Night Open Garage - August 26th, 2010 - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online
Armed with my new knowledge of paint correction and with the assistance of my friend who is a professional auto detailer. We went to work last Saturday. After 25 man hours later, (drum roll please) here she is!!
Paint is dull from years of UV damage.
