    Any name brand clay bar, any swirl remover type polish, optimum opti seal sealant and collinite 845 insulator wax on the Tacoma and sonata. Substitute griots carnauba solid wax for the camaro. The wax/sealant combo lasts usually 6 months on my wife's sonata which lives outside. The insulator wax doesn't provide the most wet look finish but lasts longer. The griots carnauba doesn't last at all in the sun but it looks amazing.

    It takes most of a weekend to do my routine and I wouldn't want to steal that sacred bonding time from you and you truck.

    Are you using a polisher or polishing by hand?

    I use a Porter Cable Dual Action orbital for 90% of the vehicle, do the tight areas by hand at the same time as the machine so none of the polish dries while I am working in an area...I know you go even further than me with the routines, I'd be interested to hear your steps and materials you use. I haven't found a clay bar kit or polish I thought was much better than any others...

    Also, if you have a preferred plastic trim rejuvenator I'd be interested to hear as my wife's trim looks like someone took chalk over it...

    I need to find my procedure and I will post it up.

    :eek:

    :eek::eek:

    :thumbsup:

    I use Zaino Z16 on the tires. For trim I use Black Wow.

    I agree with the claybar. They all seem the same to me.

    I've heard that before, I am looking for a longer lasting product though...

    Please do! Any preference on polish?

    I love the new T4R's! That is a neat looking bumper but damn thats a long way for the "skid" plate to go down...
