4th Gen Celestial Silver Metallic

Nice photo.

 

Well, got the first boo-boo...I 'think' it happened this past weekend out hunting. I may have ran over a good size branch and it may have popped up and clipped the truck. Or someone door dinked the fuck out of it.

 

Looks like it should buff out...is that a paint gouge in the middle of the biggest mark?

 

this...
start with maybe a cleaner wax & see what happens, or go all in with some rubbing compound.
That looks like a very very minor scuff....

 

I had just washed the truck. I did apply some compound and it buffed slightly. The bottom most scuff also has a dent. Not the end of the world, but it does suck!

 

in the UP

 

I was able to remove 95% of my recent boo-boo with bug and tar remover.

 

Hello! Color is wicked in certain lighting!!





Anyone get this road tar splashed all over their beautiful Celestial Silver?? Hopefully the mud flaps will help!

 

did the scuff marks come out?

 

Not completely. Looks a little better. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. i may try some more compound as well, maybe put more elbow grease into it!

 

I love the Celestial Silver as well, for similar reasons. I think it's by far the best color on the Tacoma this gen.

 

I rubbed more compound this morning and it helped. Looks like I do have a paint scrape on the bigger scratch. I can't get a good pic with the sun glaring off the silver. Camera doesn't know what to focus on. I'll try later this evening. Guess I need a little touch-up paint.

Edit - added pic

 

That's tire shine and another reason that shit sucks lol

 

Thought it was a part of town I drove through after they paved the roads so I just stopped driving that way haha!

As a back patio engineer, I agree that’s gotta be what it was. They had my tires dripping wet with tire shine on delivery and after I washed it, hasn’t happened again.

 

I don't like the stuff and there's some evidence the ones using petroleum distillates can accelerate dry rot.

Tire gel is an alternative but I still don't see why tires need to be shiny, or clean at all for that matter lol
