Well I had posted here earlier that the wife & I just recently purchased a 2011 Toyota Tundra !!!

It's RED


and I really want it to stay that way !!!
This is what we really use the Tundra for.

So the rest of the week it stays parked in the driveway as The Good Lord knows this Toyota is no Prius in the gas mileage department !!!:eek:
In fact here is is a picture of the Tundra in its natural habitat.

However I do want the Tundra to stay nice and red !! It is a 2011 with no swirls or holograms. A scratch on the rear quarter panel as she is not a show car I am not too worried about little things like that. She is going to be driven so little things will happen from time to time. I am looking for recommendations for a couple of things.

1) a good clay and lubricant
2) a good Polish.*
3) a good wax
4) a good spray wax for a nice pop.
5) A good tire and wheel dressing...tools as well as chemicals

* I am not sure that it counts as a polish or its classification but I was using Mequiars Glaze #7and that bottle is almost empty. I did see on a few posts were people were saying that it is meant for a single stage paint. I did call Mequiars and they said that while it is true that #7 was designed for a S.S. paint that it worked just fine on clear coats as well. He didn't recommend anything else and didn't try and sell me anything so he could have been legit ???:confused:

I could really use some help here as I want to keep my Tundra looking hot.Feed back please

i hope you own a pc or da orbital buffer.
1/ any fine claybar should work , as far as you use qd with it.
2/ polish , i will go with meguiar`s 205 , every 6 months, i will put the glaze as optional
3/ good wax....here is a list of them , blackfire wd, 105 , opti-seal , klasses etc ,
you can coat your car with opti-coat or c-quartz
4/ most quickdetailers does that
5/ high gloss tire dressing will be the meguiars endurance gel , optimum has saome products for tires, as well as meguiar`s

microfiber towels are important special for the paint , have them clean and dedicated for paint.
probably some articles will help you more.is not just the product is the tehniq you use too. Mike has a lot of articles.
happy reading and nice truck!
