So there sits the Red Tundra. I was doing my normal everyday scan through the autogeek forum and came upon this quote
"after 8 months of detailing I felt like i had an addiction. I was always on autogeek, meguiars and detailing world. looking at different products and ways of doing things. i wanted that extra 5% improvement. I was making wish list of 200 bucks as well.
two years later i learned those expensive products don't make the difference. i try to use cheap verstile products that work every time. APC, IPA, ONR(its a must have!!!) megs endurance(used on trim and tires), rainX, waffle weave towels, collnite 845, megs clay, m105, m205, groits DA. These are the STAPLE products. They make detailing work. I don't need megs plastic X, glaze, or a snow foam lance with a powerwasher to make my car look better.
there are a number of well priced products that work perfectly every time. you gotta find what works for you stick to them. don't read the hype and marketing. seriously don't fall for marking tricks. stick with products you like and make orders when you run out, say every 6 months budget for a 100 dollar order, wait for sales as well."
While I am not denying I love bogo....I am addicted to buying stuff I don't need. I am sure in more areas than car wax and detailing products.
I do have a plan though.
I am thinking a good paint sealant with a wax topper. I know a lot of people on here swear by wolf gang paint sealant and as protection against the elements that sounds like a good way to go.
Seeing how the Tundra is red I am thinking about two of the dodo waxes that appear to be color coordinated for the paint.
I am also going to be using a spray wax...OCW.
Feed back please
