A few weekends ago a good friend wanted me to clean up his old 4Runner for him. It is rarely washed, I don't think it was ever waxed. It has rust holes in area's, and the paint was heavily oxidized. Well I decided to help him out by buffing it out as best as I could.
Procedure as follows:
Gold Class Wash
Clay all surfaces (and keeping away from the rust holes)
DACP with a PC....yellow pad on 5
NXT
Stoners IG all windows
Meg's #40 for all trim
Took me a darn long time since the paint was sooo bad. I did not get any true before shots (I never think of it at the time) but I did get some good during and a good after. Paint is a red single stage which really turned into a gooey mess.
Here is a picture of the oxidation...the whole truck was this bad:
Here a couple of shots of the roof that really show the difference between a neglected oxidized roof, and the power of DACP ! :
Here is a shot of about half the roof done. Look at the difference in the reflection of the utility pole:
Here is my PC just gooey with single stage paint, and another big difference in oxidized and cleaned/polished area's :
More to come in a few minutes.]
