Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

post a before and after

 

I will. I dont think there will be a HUGE difference. Its not in bad shape now, but it could be better. And ill be using a single stage scratch and swirl remover instead of 2 stage compound and polish, i dont think ill need to be that agressive.

So it will be: Clay > VSS > Glaze > Wax. All CG products.

Took this a few minutes ago after a very detailed wash. No clay yet.

 

Looks great!

 

Shes about to get one hell of a spa day.

 

Man you're crazy! It looks great but there's no way I'd spend that much time cleaning my GX.

 

Looks cleaner than mine already haha. Will look great after the full detail

 

Ive detailed on the side for a long time. And once i get something new(to me) it gets the treatment. Its hard to shut that part of my brain down.

I already like it more than the Tacoma. So i dont mind showing it some love.

 

@w.adventures Where's the pic of our matching bumper dents? I haven't even cared about fixing that.

 

I still need to zip tie mine back on.

 

Haha, yep. I have the RTT and won't fit in the automatic washes. I can't remember the last time I washed this pig...

 

Automatic car wash everytime I drive in the rain. Have just a couple pinstripes.

 

I live in the desert so it only rains a few times a year. This dirt layer just gets baked on, kind of a natural powder coat action. It usually takes 3 or 4 passes through the car wash to cut through it.

 

Started ar around 0900 and finished up around 1300. Solid 4 hours.
Steps are as follows.
Washed with CG Citrus Wash & Gloss
Clayed with CG OG Clay Bar.
Single step paint correction using CG VSS & heavy cutting pad.
CG Glossworks Glaze
CG Butter Wet Wax
CG Speed Wipe detail spray.

The results were about what i expected. Paint still shows flaws but were beyond the reach of a Scratch & Swirl remover. Eliminated a fair bit of oxidation and brought back alot of depth and clarity to the paint.

 

Too much work. Rain is free and requires no effort.

 

And 2nd place is still the 1st loser.

 

looks good! mine needs a good deep cleaning and paint correction too, but i am a lazy degenerate POS.

 

CV Axle nut size for a 2006? 35mm or 36mm? Im reading conflicting info. 35mm if stock cv, 36mm if aftermarket?

 

Nailed it. I have both sockets, but have heard that a 36mm socket will fit on a 35mm snug enough to work if you don't have both.

 

Ive got both also. Just curious as to what yall thought. Replacing both weekend after next.
