So todays detail was a friend of mines 2006 Speedway Blue Toyota Tacoma X-Runner. Overall it was in good condition. There was some slight swirling present, and a small amount of water spotting/etching on the glass. Considering this only took 4 hours, it was one of my better days =) The difference was extremely noticeable after buffing as the metallic flake in the paint popped even more so then before. We even had a couple of other trucks to compare too. Needless to say the pictures dont' do it justice. Heres the process...
Optimum Car Wash
Zaino Z18 Claybar
Hi-Temp APC 5:1 Dilution Ratio for wheels, tires and fenders
60/30 Menzerna Intensive Polish/Optimum Polish Blend w/ Orange pad via Rotary @ 1500 RPM's
Zaino Z12 Glass Polish w/ Green pad via Rotary at 1400 RPM's
Zaino All-In-One by hand
Zaino ZFX'd Z5 Pro by hand x2
Zaino Z20 Tire Shine
Meguiars Glass Cleaner on all exterior and interior glass
And enough talk, onto the pics! Sorry, no before pictures though. The metallic flake in the paint hid the swirls fairly well, so the camera had a hard time picking it up.
