My 55,000 Mile 2009 Tacoma

clean rig man. im glad you arent one of the guys that gave me a ton of shit on DR.



i detailed for a year professionally. i havnt detailed for a while due to my hectic work schedule. but you look like you do good work. keep it up

 

Can we get an update, and how much $ to do my truck?:$

 

Just bought a gallon of the undercarriage from these guys . Az is a dirt pit. Can't wait to get in there and bring it back to it's original shine.

I NEED to do this after winter.

 

This is what mine looks like most of the time. Looks like I'm racking up the milage about as quick as you, got my 09 in Dec 09 with 12 mi on it. Got about 48,000 now. Wish I had the drive to keep mine as clean as you, that is beautiful. Great work! If you ever want a challenge you can come clean mine!

 

Started using the under-carriage cleaner- WOW it's looks great. Appreciate the reference to the Chemical guys website. Fast shipping and the gallon *bulk* is the way to go!

For the Bare Bones, do you just spray it on and wipe it off or spray it off with the hose or what?

 

I am embarrassed. I have been so busy! I haven't taken the photos off my SLR Camera to post them up. Cell phone teasers for now.

 

I wish my truck was that clean. It can never be that clean, spot and scratch free again.

 

looks cleaner than mine and mine is just an around town 2 wheeler.

 

WOW WOW WOW!.
That's a well kept truck. Mine doesn't run that much, living in a small island as I do, but I manage to drive a lot anyway. Sadly, I don't have the time to detail mine so thoroughly and there are no professional detailers in country. I would love to try to do a 1% of what you do (qhich for me will be like 10000% more than what I usually do).
Will post pictures soon. I'm writing this from work.
Hehehe

 

I just bought some of this stuff... cant wait to try it out in the spring!

O ya... it smells damn good too!

 

Any chance of getting some of the pics during the process?

 

The process.

Put truck on jack stands, remove wheels.
Spray out all the loose dirt and mud.
Now all the loose stuff is out, attack with CG Grimereaper.
This stuff is powerful so I only let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse.
This process is done in sections as it is impossible to do the whole thing at once.
Now I go back and use a brush on a lot of the exposed parts.
(Fenders, Frame Rails, Skid Plate and Rear End.)
Let her dry, let spray on the CG Barebones.
While the truck was drying, I polised my wheels using Zeypher Metal Polish and a mothers powerball.

 

Damn dude thats crazy. I wish you could do mine.

 

This takes some time, but if you're patient the out come is so rewarding. Everyone thinks I have a problem. I do. I like my shit to last/look as good as it can, as long as it can. I paid 30K for that beast, you beat your ass I am going to take care of it.

 

Nice! i just detailed my truck a few days ago, but my undercarriage dosnt look as good as yours, i just sprayed it down with a pressure washer. i need to invest in some of that spray you use.

 

damn!!!!
