detailed my car

[4runna08]

So on Martin Luther King jr day It was overcast so it was perfect to clay bar, polish, and wax my car. It took about 8 hours with a small break

First I washed my car but I didnt let it dry. I made a new bucket of soap and applied that on with some clay barring. After that I washed off some of the clay and did a towel dry. I then started with the polishing with a 9 inch buffer. And finished with a wax.

Products I used were Meguilars Polish(red bottle) and Gold Class

I started around2 and finished around 1030

i will try to post pics when i get home, but lately when i log on it will come to "thank you 4runna08" then it will come to the forum not logged in.:wtf:olice:

My paint job was neglected before so its not that much better from all the scratches but still a significant improvementarty:

Nice dude, I like that color on a 4runner.

Looks great! Very unusual color, but I like it. I gotta get up off my lazy @$$ and clay mines too.

yea somebody stole my center caps when I went to san antonio for the weekend:AK47::AK47::AK47:

on the second to last pic that stuff was on my car I think it was from tree sap that ate through the paint:wow2:

and quick question, i left the radio on during the process which drained the battery which is no problem because I have a 5spd:dancin:

so i put it in neutral starting rolling down the drive in reverse with foot on clutch and when i tried putting it in gear..the gears grinded. I have push started going in reverse successfully so how can i avoid this next time?

thanks
