    Another dirty Kiwi truck!!!

    Hello team.

    Here we have the typical "bush bashed" Kiwi Toyota Hilux in all its glory. As you can see from the pictures, we are fairly tough on vehicles down here & for some strange reason, most of the time I see these in this condition - you guessed it - they're black. I know, this type of work doesn't appeal to every detailer but for me, these are the ones that pay the bills & allow me to spend that "bit" more on quality products. So upon arrival this Toyota Hilux was everything I was expecting, fairly grubby on the interior, & a bit rough around the edges on the exterior. The objective here was to do what I could to make it presentable for sale, so by no means a "correction" detail for the paintwork but a bit of work required to make it shine.

    Right, enough talking, lets see some pictures -

    As it arrived.































    Alright then, doesn't look so nice huh. With a good vacuum out, some hot water extraction, machine scrubbing, tornador work & some elbow grease - the interior was cleaned up & refreshed -

    Completed interior pictures -























    Much nicer. Right, on we go to a couple of 50/50 photos of the paintwork. Tools - Flex 3401, LC Orange Hybrids paired with Megs 101, Rupes Mini, Blue Rupes pads, Megs 101. Followed by CarPro Essence+ on CarPro GlossPads.











    And finally, some pictures completed. All in all, pretty happy with the job in total. My client was very impressed, chalk this one up as a success.


























    Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to have a look.

    Those 50/50 shots look awesome. The whole truck cleaned up really well. The owner of that Hilux must have been in disbelief when they saw their "new" truck.

    Keep up the great work!

    Your talents are exceptional. You took it from a sow's ear to a silk purse.

    Outstanding results, to say the least. That's really impressive to see before and after shots. I love these types of vehicles because the turn-around in appearance is so dramatic.
    I would have loved to see the owner's reaction.

    WOW! I bet the owner never would've thought there was nice shiny paint buried under all those scratches. Talk about a save. Amazing work Aaryn.
