    New 4runner advice

    I've got a new dark blue 4runner (2014) coming in 3-6 weeks and I was wondering how to deal with it when it arrives. I live in Central Pa. and I have a heated garage. The last time I purchased a new vehicle (2004 Dark Red Mitsu Endeavor) I washed and clayed the vehicle then used AIO followed by...

    Plan of attack!

    I just ordered a pc for my 04 Mitsu Endeavor. It's dark red. In March I clayed, AIO,SG, and P21S. Over the last 6 months I think I reapplied P21S twice and used PB QD+ after a few washes. I intend on doing a good detail around labor day because I can keep the vehicle garaged for the entire...

    SW and SG?

    Last weekend I spent the full day washing, claying, applying AIO and 1 coat of SG. Didn't have time for a second or third coat of SG which I still want to apply. Now the car has some dirt on it and we're expecting rain for the next 6 days. The question is, if the car isn't too dirty can I prep...

    Curing times of SG

    Is the 24 hour curing time based on leaving the vehicle outside or is it based on being in a heated garage? i.e. Can I put coat 2 on after 12 hours of curing?

    question about clay lube

    I just finished the claying process. First time for me. I couldn't see much dirt come off but I did notice that the surface was slicker. I used Clay Magic and 4 star lube. It's a 2004 red Mitsu Endeavor. Quesiton: Do I need to wash the vehicle before applying AIO? I'm 4 hours into the process...
