Yesterday I got to detail my first non-crossover-based SUV. It was a 2011 FJ Cruiser which was with its second owner. It was in a typical neglected form - swirls and residue wax from previous attempts to detail the vehicle properly.
I used D151 followed up with Ultimate wax. The paint was fairly easy to work with. My only problem was the D151 powdered up quite fast because of the heat and low humidity yesterday (never had that problem before). Well, onto the pics -
before I started, I masked off all the trim, and I found that the previous wax job done stained the lower door trim:
all taped up - I also taped off the wiper base and the other vents on the leading edge of the windshield:
claybar time:
first pass, 50/50
second pass:
all done:
looking through a mirror?
nope...
