    Newly acquired 06 white Tacoma and by the looks and condition it was in, I personally feel this is most likely its first polish and sealant treatment it has gotten in a very long time. interior was filthy as well as the exterior. Besides the caked on grime and contaminants stuck on the truck even after clay bar, the condition of the paint wasn't TOO bad. Took awhile for her true colors to shine through.

    I used a majority of Meguiar's products along combined with LCC polishing pads. It did the trick.. took about 16 hours in total for wash, clay, engine bay, 2-stage polish and sealant.

    :worthless:
