nice what kind polish and seal do you use

 

ratchet staps worked magic for those

 

x2. And what kinda machine do you use to polish? I gotta make mine look like that. Or at least try. Haha.

 

Ill finish work at 1030am today so keep us posted where you wanna meet.

 

well im heading to kaena to play around about 2-230. in case anyones bored

 

lol, lately I do the lazy man's cleaning

That was the mothers clay bar (but I use whatever is on sale), mothers polish (I like the NuFinish too), adams super sealant, and finally mothers 100% carnuba paste wax. I also like to put some turtle wax ICE on top of the wax, but I didn't feel like it this time.

When the going gets rough, I have a Makita 7" polisher/buffer and a small 6" craftsman random orbit polisher. But I did all the polishing/waxing by hand, only used the DA for the sealant. The worst I had this time was some pinstripes from the last trip to KP

 

Thanks. Nice. A mothers user huh. I prefer meguiars but they seem all the same when it comes to OTC stuff. And damn. Polishing by hand? Goes to show how much you love your truck. Your arm mustve been burning. Haha. Good stuff.

 

Yep

 

Must be nice and muddy for you, my beach day got cancelled...

 

Yep, always been more of a mothers man.. But I use Meguiar's soap

IT was a light polishing, and I already couldn't feel my arms from the clay bar, so whats a few more hours

 

Check out my new sticker thanks Nestor.

 

Finally put a grill on (thanks Mike).

Now thoughts on what emblem to put on.
1. Huge Toyota (like miles above)
2. Small Toyota
3. Small TRD in the corner.

What say my taco brothers??

 

Small TRD in the corner.

 

Yea.. I was sadly thinking the same thing, or the small Toyota. I love the look of the huge Toyota, but may look weird as my grill is surface rather than inset.

Not sure if you were the very first one with that huge Toyota but that guy (homertaco) that makes the custom satoshi grills is pushing a bunch of those huge letterings out on the mainland.

 

I know how you feel. Ive been doing that too. Lol

 

Tacoma centered or a silver painted Toyota symbol.

 

Crap.. Just realized that my original post said "Tacoma" rather than "Toyota". If I go #1 or #2, then it will be TOYOTA

Does that change anyone's opinion?

 

Each their own but I'm not a fan of the Toyota letters

 

I worked 10 hour days (minimum) everyday for a year straight at Hawaiian Tel...

Paychecks and W-2 were ridiculous!

All that money and no time/energy to play haha (probably a good thing anyways)

Shirt tan sucked

 

Welcome!

My vote is with a small TRD in the corner or a custom Toyota emblem.
