    Yup ! In the summer it stays fresh for a while .

    I like to use a quick detailer. Sometimes I use Meguiars or I make my own with ONR solution and some distilled water .

    Got that right ! Black paint can be so reflective, it's like a mirror !

    If I were younger and had a healthier back and spine, I would love to do that too. So rewarding to start with a car with spider webbing, orange peeling, your every day run-of-the-mill swirls and scratches or just dull and faded paint and turn it into a shiny and gorgeous vehicle. I love doing one of my friends car and watching their face when they see the finished product. Awesome stuff !

    It sucks when health problems hold you back from doing things as much as you'd like. Thank god in not at that stage yet, and hope not to be . But I'll get the ball rolling to start my own business before I get old LOL. I'm only 20yrs old , so I have plenty of time to get things straightened out .
    I've experienced that too. I've done serval cars for friends and it's awesome when they say " OMG is this really my car " and such .

    It's interesting hearing about people's color preferences. I've never liked black trucks. And I've never liked white/silver trucks because they looked commercial. When I decided on the Tacoma, I wanted MGM or Blue. But once I saw the silver, I knew that was the color.

    My neighbor has a '16 MGM and looking at it everyday, I'm thankful for the silver. Plus, surface temperature on my truck is nothing compared to the heat that MGM puts out.

    My only regret... I couldn't get my truck in 'Concrete Grey'. Now that's a sexy color!

    Well, take care of your back. I played a lot of sports and played them hard as a young person and first started having back injuries in my mid 20s. And yeah, if you want to get into the detailing business, you're not too young to get started.

    Yep, differences are what makes humans interesting. Me... silver would be my last choice. But that's why they don't offer just one color ! :)

    BTW, I do agree about the concrete grey on the TRD Pro... that's an interesting color and I like it.

    Agreed Senior. Let me know if you ever make it down to Hurby for some sunshine and cocktails, we'll compare rigs.

    Installed the low range Offroad 3/4" lift spacer. Leveled the truck out perfectly. Looks like there is some bro lean in this pic due to my driveway though.

    Going to be installing Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers (as soon as they come in) and I saw a post somewhere that said to coat behind the spacer(s) for easier removal in the future. Any idea what product this might be? Some type of grease.?

    Funny... I've been to 43 of the 50 States and Florida is not one of them. People laugh at me when I tell them that because EVERYBODY has been to Florida. Guess I'm due. :)
