    Great transformation. I can't wait to see the new seats in, and some more exterior photos in the sunlight.

    I have been trying to detail my truck for awhile.... Are you suppose to change polishing pads after a few panels? I think I did something wrong.... Even after watching countless youtube videos on polishing, and a very good wash, and clay bar. I didn't get results like that..

    I'll probably own a 2wd till I die, and we get ~130" of snow a year :D. Love the simplicity, and i personally find it makes me a better driver in harsh conditions. Now if i wanted to get into rock crawling 4wd all day. :thumbsup: But yeah I doubt op is going to be able to sell this after hes done. Gonna be some setimental value im sure

    Go to chemicalguys.com or similar company.
    Look at their videos, give them a call. No disrespect to anyone giving advice here but companies like this (CG, Adams...) want to sell product. In order to sell product, they need to educate people on proper techniques. If they don’t and folks misuse their products, results are poor and they won’t be selling more products I find you’ll get good info from them.

    As with any skill/art-good basics, tools, products and practice are key.

    It's just bedliner in a can. Works great for protection but also good for getting rid of an unsightly amount of stone chips.

    Some of you will notice the center console cubby lid slightly ajar, I'm working on leather wrapping it with black leather.

    Exterior is done. I'm going to detail the engine, take it to Toyota for the recall, and post it for sale soon. Maybe a few more posts but it's basically done now.

    First, badass!

    Second, if you need to fix a panel that won't clean, this stuff is super effective. I redid my Jeep YJ's sun beat panels, nasty (but clean) stained seats.
    https://duplicolor.com/product/vinyl-and-fabric-coating

    It's not a paint, it's a dye. It dries really fast and it works on just about any interior panels. People thought I bought a new seat and door panels. It mean it looks that good.
