This Toyota Tundra is a work truck that I detailed last week. While it doesn’t appear to be too dirty in the pictures, they don’t serve it any justice. The car was filthy on the exterior, especially the bed (forgot to snap pics), and wheel wells. The owner wanted to have the truck cleaned up and give a little life and protection to the paint, but didn’t want a full blown detail since it was still a work truck. Here was my process.
Wheels – Multi-Piece Wheel Cleaner as they were polished aluminum
Tires – APC+ with foaming Sprayer, Dressed with Hot Shine Gel
Wheel Wells – APC+ with foaming Sprayer, Dressed with Hyper Dressing
Bed- APC+ with foaming sprayer, Dressed with Hyper Dressing
Wash – Hyper Wash + an ounce of ONR
Clay- Mild Blue Clay – This was by far the dirtiest truck I have ever seen in my life when it came to claying. The picture of the clay I have is from doing about 1/8th of the hood. I literally had to do about 7 passes of claying the hood and roof, as they were so incredibly dirty. (Guess this is what you get with a work truck that is never washed or taken care of)
Polish - D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream
Wax -M20
All exterior Plastics Dressed with Hyper Dressing
Windows – D Line window cleaner
Interior – vacuumed the interior, a light pass of quick interior detailer and windows with D Line Window Cleaner.

Headlight Restoration:
Process:
Taped off the Headlights and Sanded with 1500 Grit Unigrit Paper with foam hand sanding pad
Polished with M85 on 4 inch Wool Pad on Drill
Polished with PlastX on 4 inch Polishing Pad on Drill
Sealed with NXT 2.0
