I finally had a chance to detail my 4Runner after 6 long months. Here it is!

Nice job. You can see the reflection of where you were so clearly through the doors. Looks great. Now the Pacific Blue even looks better!!!
 
tkr128,

It Looks great. Did you do by hand or PC? Tell us about what products and processes you use.


thanks!
 
Thanks for the compliments everybody!

Pacific Blue was actually my 3rd color choice. They didn't have my first two choices and I was lucky enough that they had this one left when I bought it at the end of the year. I'm loving this color, especially now that I have the 17" wheels on it. It's indeed a rare color, I've only seen 5 or 6 other ones since I've had mine.

linhsy: I've seen you around on DetailCity, but I don't post much there. Anyway, I washed with Zaino Z7, clayed with Claymagic, polished with Poorboy's SSR2 and a Lake Country Orange Pad with the PC, followed by 6 coats of Zaino Z5. Roofrack, exhaust tip and all exterior light housings got polished with Poorboy's Pro Polish and got the Zaino treatment as well. Tires got Poorboy's Bold n Brite. Wheel wells and undercarriage got Meguiar's APC+ and a long brush (I spent a whole day cleaning these parts). I'm exhausted just listing this.

Thanks again!
 
wow, look like you are Zaino and Poolboy's fan. It must take you a lot of time to do all these steps. My 4runner is built on January and I bought it on March. I think the paint is cure enough for the first detail. Thanks.


BTW, I think I saw you and ckon over detailcity, too.

It's actually my first time with Poorboy's products. I used to use 3M polishes, but thought I'd give the PB's a try and they work very well. I used Zaino because I'm looking for long-term durability, I don't get too many chances to detail it, so having it protected is my main priority. All in all, it took me a week to do everything, including the interior.

Good luck on detailing your 4Runner! Be VERY careful when using a PC on the edges of the bumpers, I took off a little paint on one of the edges of the rear bumper polishing it.

I'm gonna detail my truck this weekend and I want to do the same thing you did to the roofrack and exterior light housings. I dunno if I'll have access to the Poorboy's Pro Polish since I can't find it at any store here in San Diego, CA. Could you recommend anything similar that I find at any auto store? Thanks!
