The project is a 2005 Black 4Runner 165K miles. I am the second owner. In Chagrin Falls Ohio. Read that as winter conditions. My daily driver. Kept in a garage at home. Here it sits after I removed license plates and hood wind deflector.

I judge the paint to be in good condition save swirls, rids,some "stuff" I am not even going to worry about and multiple poor touch ups. Oh brother what am I getting myself into....

10 from 10 is the goal.

Hah, newb, greenhorn, rookie, I have been called a lot worse...LOL. I am here to entertain you... Hopefully I'll be able to sponge a little knowledge from you veterans as I get it done. Must get batteries for camera, this could be a while...

The pics of the wheel? Are you asking a question or showing everyone how a wheel looks that hasn't been properly cared for?

Glad you weren't offended. Hope to see you around!

Looks pretty bad, have fun making it new again!

Both... I'll get it as good as I can, any recommendations along the way would be greatly appreciated.

With respect to the wheel, I have sourced some refinished oem wheels for little out of pocket with the return of my core. The caps I have found new from stealer. Fairly certain I will not go this route... It is a driver, However, I may pick up a second set and relegate the current wheels to dedicated snow tires.

The one picture looks like you are missing the "T" in Toyota. I would remove all the badges if I were missing a letter. I think it gives the car a clean look too.
