09/11/20 - 1 step correction / sealant

I know some folks will say its a waste to spend on a nice detail job for a trail rig but I wanted a good baseline from where I can keep up with maintenance for paint. There's also the argument that white doesn't show changes as well but I can say it does.



I had the guy debadge in the rear as I was either going to leave it blank or put on black emblems.


I got these off eBay. Not really sure if they're real or not because they're in generic plastic bags without any Toyota part numbers. Look good enough though.


Here is a before and after. I might roll around with it blank for a little while at least.




After the first section of the hood was done, the iceberg white some how became whiter than it was before. I wanted ceramic coating but I knew the rig would be sitting outside so I didn't want to spend 3x the base price to get ceramic coating put on. Luckily I did not because a short 30 min rain storm came in right after he finished putting on the Meguiar's Fast Finish. Still looked great in the drizzle though.


Also took the pups for their first ride in the FJ since I bought it back in June. I wanted to be sure the interior was cleaned out. I had it shampooed and deep cleaned back in July and this guy did a light cleaning after doing the paint on it. My jack russell dachshund loves to look out the window for some reason. He does that the whole time. My great dane mix always lays down.
