Kiwi treatment for Black Lux.

[Aaryn NZ]

Hello all.

Still awaiting my Autogeek order (shipped today) so here's another time filler until my box of goodies arrives.

This little ute (truck) is a Toyota Hilux, or "Lux" as us Kiwi's call 'em. I say "little" because while in Florida for Boot Camp I couldn't help but notice - your trucks are MASSIVE!!! Saw a whole lot of lift kits & real BIG tyres over there. Very cool!!!

Anyway - Hilux came to me via a dealership. They traded this in & as the condition wasn't great it ended up with me. For those who hadn't read my "typical kiwi ute" post - trucks like this are a fairly common for me to get in this condition.

On to the - how it turned up pictures -
































Yup! Thats a common sight for me. Love the look of those holograms that are visible through all the dirt - someones already been here me thinks.


A couple of pics of the condition of the paint after wash, decon, clay etc . . . not so nice.















Some photos of the interior after some steaming, extracting, scrubbing, wiping, vacuuming, plenty of elbow grease etc . . .























And finally, some finished pictures out in the sunshine.


















Didn't scrub up to bad considering. Paint had a lot of RIDS that were far to deep to make any major improvement on but overall, happy with a generous 75% better than before score card.

Thank you all for looking.

I think you are underestimating the turn around mate.... 75% pfft.... looks more like 175% better to me....

And whilst I am not familiar with the Holden Kingswood, the 'Lux's' as you guys call them are a common site on our South African roads....

Man that car was in a state - nice save buddy

Thanks for sharing!!!!

Well done. One of the finest turn around I've seen in a long time.

That's incredible...just insanely incredible! Looks brand new again and from a "before condition" that was horrid.

Hey there Bill.

Thank you my friend. Yep - they're cobwebs alright. I'm not a huge fan of spiders either to be honest. luckily poisonous spiders are very rare in NZ.

Hope the shoulders getting better Bill.

Thank you Lawrence.

Wow! Thanks mate. Huge compliment! Much appreciated.

Yeah, poor old Lux looked as if it were only the spiders that loved it.
