My brother purchased a new Tacoma back at the beginning of the month. I just have not had time to get to it and get it protected. Yesterday morning, I had a cancellation so I jumped on it. The outside was all that was going to get done. He's a neat freak like me so I doubt that there was crumb to be seen!

The paint was in great shape. No need for claying and just minor, light surface swirling. I first washed it in my NXT/Dawn mix (4:1) and got off what dirt and bugs that were on it. Next, out came the Cyclo with some EDGE Green Pads. All I used for protection and cleaning was XMT's 360. The roof and even the glass got a coating. Turned out real reflective and wet. Even for silver.

The tires received Armor All Tire Foam and Gel. The wheels also got some 360.
Thanks all!

Nice Justin. I'm kinda partial to Tacoma's.:D Looks like he has the stock exhaust on it. I changed mine out with the TRD exhaust and it sounds pretty sweet. I hope he likes his truck as much as i love mine.

I knew you'd be the first to respond to this one AL!
He just got his TRD stickers on. He didn't feel like paying the TRD price. Those wheels are off of his 02. It's for sale now, with the steel wheels that came on the new one!

Oh yeah, he's ordering the TRD supercharger and exhaust next week!!!!
Things gonna be fast!

Super charger would be very cool. I love the sound of my exhaust it's not too loud but when you jump on it it barks. I've been thinking lift and bigger tires may be in order for my truck.

I was wondering about those wheels I knew they weren't TRDs.
Can't put anything past me.;)

Looks really good, Justin! I ordered mine XMT360 (32oz bottle), along with Opti-Seal, but that won't arrive 'till Monday.

Justin it looks real good, awesome reflection just with one product. They say that 360 is some awesome stuff! Read the review you done on the 360 a few weeks ago so I ordered it. Got it, can't wait to use it. Thanks for your reviews.
