It's a bit tough to see all the hard work you did because it's too glossy!! :laughing:

Very nice work! :props:

You have some nice products in your list. What products did you actually use and in what order?

[matth9]

Hell yeah that looks good..... How long did that beast take?

[bluegoose]

Beautiful. I have a tundra too....wish mine looked like that! //bluegoose//

[Slacking TJ]

started with wg tsr & orange ccs pad 5.5" on gg6 ended up
going with flex cyan ht and orange ccs pads & 105 then went to using finishing glaze (tried 205 as well just preferred wg finishing glaze a little more) with either white ccs or tangerine ht pad

i liked the flex with cyan using 105 and/or wg tsr 5.5" x 7/8" pad

i used my gg6 polisher with 4" cyan pad

then used the tangerine ht pad with finishing glaze
again 5.5 on flex & 4 on gg6

red ht pads for paint sealant

red ccs pads for souveran paste wax


i spent alittle time on this and learned alot

went over vehicle more then once

wish i had taking some before photos it had some swirls & minor scratches that i got tired of looking at had a meguiars polisher on order for awhile like i believe a month and a half then called to check order status they were still on backorder for at least another month or two glad my brother told me about autogeek picked up the gg6 then the flex 3401 looking into the pe14-2-150 possibly as well not sure yet

That is a beautiful truck! Excellent job on it. I bet that 5.7 L is a blast to drive :dblthumb2:

[Nick McKees37]

Thomas, the truck looks STUNNING. I'm glad all that hard work and experimenting with different products payed off. :buffing:

[Trevor]

Truck looks very nice, good work!

[Scarelane]

Looks great! I really like the Tundra trucks.

[Jhaight11]

how do you like the HT 5.5 pads?

[Slacking TJ]

i really liked the tangerine HT pad & Wolfgang finishing glaze on my Flex 3401

i detailed the truck over 4 weekends left the truck in the garage during the work started off with CCS pads orange with either 105 or WG TSR used white CCS pad with either the 205 or finishing glaze with my GG6 got a good bit of it done just felt like i could do better then went to lowe's to pick up a couple halogen lights to aim at the sides while in the garage definately helped also on some of the passes with the HT pads & Flex 3401 i did a IPA cleaning to check on my progress another bit of advice for everyone

so on second go round it was Cyan HT with 105, Tangerine HT with finshing glaze then Crimson HT pad with WG sealant and lastly Red CCS pad for my paste wax

so in order
washed
clayed where needed
polished as mentioned above
sealant
paste wax
removed wax where need
rewashed with pinnacle wash again
used my metro blaster to dry
souveran spray wax
diamodite on windows
dp tire gel on tires
ultima tire & trim guard on trim
pinnacle leather cleaner
pinnacle leather conditioner

must say i was hesitant about picking up the dryer man it is nice

on next deal hopefully around the 4th of july there will be another 20% off deal would like to maybe pick up the flex 14-2-150 polisher as well

i also have fuzion will probably switch to it in the fall to cover me through winter

thanks for all the feedback i really appreciate it


it was a little weird driving it today i have been driving nissan altima while working on the truck

[Slacking TJ]

used GG6 for my 4" HT & CCS smart pads for tighter areas sent the GG 3 polisher back never used it not sure if i ever would

[jbgrant]

Are all black tundra's clear coated? Or, are some single stage like the white tundras?

[Slacking TJ]

good question about the single stage not sure on the answer mine is not though
