I bought several products a couple of years ago to try to match the paint on a blackToyota Tundra. The driver side was painted, the passenger side was not painted. I tried polishing on the passenger side and the hood, and gave up. I could never get the truck looking like I wanted. I eventually gave up and sold it.
I own a newer Ram in red and my goal is to try to get the paint to look as new as possible. There is very light scratching, and I don't see much fade or spyder webs ect. The clear coat looks pretty good. I have some deep scratches here and there that were touched up with a pen and it doesn't look that good.
So here is the product that I own:
A Griots DA machine
Pads I believe are to be buff and shine
2 light green
2 orange
2 black
Mckees clay bar lubricant
Clay bar that looks a bit rough
Mckees Krystal vision glass cleaner
Car pro Iron X
Dodo juice shampoo
Poor boys SSR 1, 2, 2.5, and 3
Poor boys liquid Nattys Blue
HD Poxy Hybrid wax
Black ice tire shine
Can I get some advice on where to start? I washed the truck and its pretty clean. I would like to fire up the Griots DA and see what I can do.
This hobby is pretty enjoyable, but I daily drive my truck and it's a battle keeping it clean, especially with a 5 year old. Also I remember it being so confusing choosing product to buy. Chemicals aren't cheap so its not like I can afford to buy a bunch of things to try. Sorry for the rambling, hope everyone has a great day!
