This is my brother's new ride. This make the 8th Tacoma he's owned. He sells them and makes about 2K profit. This one he says he's gonna keep. Ya right!

Here's what it got on a nice Saturday off.....

(Applied with EDGE2K Yellow Pad at #5)
Again, an awesome product. No dusting and really cuts. Even in the sun.

(Applied with EDGE2K Orange Polishing Pad set at #4)
I love this stuff. A little goes along way. Cleaning up any marring left by #3 and leaves a nice slick, plastic like finish.

( Applied with EDGE2K White Finishing Pad)
I believe this would even look good on wood!
This product is so easy to apply and remove. No dusting and leaves one of the best finishes you can get!

LOL tacos! Justin, nice work as always!! I love how the XMT makes the metallic flakes come out and with the carnauba finishing glaze and liquid Souveran! Ah just awesome! I've used only the XMT 2 and 1 so far. I noticed that you didn't use a finishing polish after the XMT 3 but you went straight away into the glaze, does the XMT 3 really finish that far that you don't have to step down or were you using the glaze like a finishing polish? Looks awesome. I hope he does decide to keep it. :)

XMT #3 finishes down almost LSP ready.
It's all about technique and pad usage. I go aggressive but I don't act aggressive.
Hope this makes sense.

So this is like flipping houses. Buy a dirty car, clean it up and sell for profit.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Cool! Yeah it makes sense, I just haven't had the chance to try out the XMT 3 yet. I've used everything else in the line and loved it. That's great that it finishes that far! Good to know.

Nice job Justin, got my XMT products last week, have not use it yet. What do you use on your work truck (yellow Ranger)? I see it in the background, in a lot of your pics. Nice and shinny.

How long do you usually spend per section and how fast do you move across the section.

I probably go faster than most but this keep the marring down. 2-3 minutes. Remember I'm using an aggressive setup.
