I sure haven't posted in a LONG time as I sold my '00 Celica a year ago and picked up a '92 toyota pickup.
I would just give it a normal wash and wax but never thought about posting it up since it's not the cleanest thing compared to what you see around here.
Anyways this weekend I took some extra time and cleaned her up a little more.
During the week I went out mudding so thursday I power washed it. Saturday washed it Megs Gold Class then gave it a coat of AIO and SG, let that cure. Sunday finished with a coat of Nattys blue paste wax. Decided to take AIO and SG to the rims too. Wenol twins to the center caps.
Only picture I took of the paint. I wish it all looked this good but there are a lot of rust spots starting to happen
*I think I shook the camera a little bit*
Random full body shot of the truck.
The biggest change I had was on the rims and center caps. I never added protection on them and they started to oxidize/rust. Heres how they turned out.

*don't mind the smudge I cleaned that up afterwards. Also the inside rust had gone to far to be taken care of*
Rear center caps - Hopefully you can tell which one is done and which one isn't :chuckle:
Everything was put on by hand. I was hoping the AIO would have cleaned up the rims a little better, looks like I need to find something more abrasive. Any suggestions? I tried the Wenol twins on the rims, it worked a little but nothing like how it worked on the center caps.
The front center caps cleaned up nicely, probably 95% back to normal finish*except the inside* The rear center caps were a little stubborn for just my little hands alone. Maybe an electric polisher with something more abrasive would do the trick.
Hopefully tomorrow I can Wenol the lug nuts and give the center caps a coat of AIO and SG.
