    My wife's 10 yr. old Landcruiser

    Here's my wife's daily driver: 1997 Lancruiser

    Today's Process:
    1. Foamgun/OCWC
    2. Blowdry
    3. OID/MF wipedown
    4. OB (3:1)/WCS for tires, well, and runningboards




    1:1 was too thick, 2:1 looked great but didn't atomize as well as I wanted, 3:1 is perfect but comes out much faster and will run if you don't feather the trigger


    Thanks for looking!

    Looks great for a 10yr old suv.

    Looks cleaner and more fun to look at than a new one.

    Thanks Jimmie, I like this body style much better than the new ones. And not that I'll ever use them but this one has front and rear air locking diffs from the factory!

    Thanks, nothin' in the back... my driveways got a incline; it sits pretty level not like a 4runner.

    sounds like Optimum Tire gel will give you more shine when it is dilluted...hmmm...which makes it more economical...gonna have to try that...

    Not really more shine but it's consistency and flow through the gun I use to shoot it is improved greatly. Start at 1:1 and see what you can get by with before durability suffers. 2:1 is good all around from my use, but 3:1 only works on some tires whereas initially I though it was the best dilution, so you'll have to see how it works for you.
