Seal then Wax....

Need to make sure you remove all wax prior to sealing as well...

 

Ok so remove all wax from prior waxing... then use a sealant and then wax on top of that?

 

The red insert was trapped in the cap. Didn't stay on the bottle properly.

 

Absolutely!

I just recently bought a 17 TRD OR first thing I did when I got it home was strip the truck clay bar then 2 coats of Jet Seal and 2 coats of white wax....

Here is what I use:

Here is another excellent product to use as well... I have heard some good stuff about this as well...

 

I used Ajax orange dish soap to wash my truck and it stripped all the wax off my truck. (this is good) I got a bottle of Trinova Paint Sealant for free so I put that on my truck after I dried it. I used nothing but the Trinova sealant and my black truck looks dripping wet.

 

I'll give it a try this upcoming weekend. I have also stopped using Armorall and other "dressings", I'm scared of the o-zone effect it seems to have on plastics.

 

So far, my only complaint about the VLR is that it only lasts a couple weeks.

So when i'm done detailing my interior. I leave the VLR rag in truck for a few days and wipe the dash and door panels down a few more times

Try Turtle Wax Dash and Glass! Good stuff. I see they make it in foam now. Cool!
It is safe to use on everything including window tint...

 

I had some plastic haze on my gauge cluster, I took some paint polish and buffed the haze out. If applying a spray on product, spray on a towel then apply with towel. Helps cut down on overspray and other issues.

 

Hey guys, I really don't feel like reading through 130 pages, so can anybody tell me if there has already been a discussion about removing heavy water/sap stains from glass?

Thanks

 

This might point you in the right direction:

 

Much appreciated

 

Excited to have found this thread on this awesome forum

My name is Mark and I have just started a detailing business on the side (paramedic by trade, and educator)

Have been detailing for friends and family for several years, and several people tell me to just do it for a living because they get good results, service, and I have a passion for it

Finally taking that step forward as an llc, and it has been enjoyable to learn from all of the experience and support from this thread, autogeek, and other forums

Will try to get some pictures of my work up soon, (my 2nd gen taco as well... of course)

Just checking in

Carry on

 

....As you were!

 

You might benefit by heading over to Autogeek forums, everything detailing site.

 

I have been on autogeek for about 4 months researching and asking questions prior to making this decision

Name is going to be detail oriented, and I am located in Knoxville TN

I had a few other names ideas, but that one kinda stuck with me ... what are thoughts on here for

Detail Oriented llc ?

 

soooo, should i claybar before i paint seal or should i just wash the truck with dawn soap to remove most of the old wax?

 

Wash then clay. You need to decon the paint. It will help the vehicle stay cleaner.

 

i plan to try this adams polishes paint sealant then the Americana wax.

 

Definitely strip your previous wax/sealant first.
