Check out that four by four that is hot.
What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage!
Today we've got a 1985 Toyota 4X4.
The owner of this vehicle is a time travel enthusiast and he doesn't take a whole lot
of time on the maintenance of his vehicles so it has water spots, scratches and swirls
and on black it is going to show any imperfection.
Today I'm going to show you how to polish that out and get that mirror shine.
Going down the side of this vehicle it has water spots, over spray and scratches and
swirls which are hidden in doors but outside there is a ton of swirls.
We're also going to try and get some dressing on the tires to make that really pop because
right now its kinda dull.
If we head back here to the bed of the truck.
I've got my detailing arsenal in the bed.
I'm going to start by claying the vehicle using the Clay Block which will save me a
lot of time and effort on this big truck.
Also I'll be using my 10FX with a white pad using our Slick Finish Cleaner Wax.
Now this is a micro abrasive polish that has a little bit of wax which will help shine
this beautiful truck and take care of the scratches and swirls.
Lets get started!
To start off I'm going to clay the surface to get rid of any impurities in the paint.
This vehicle has been sitting outside so tree sap and other things have been sitting on
it and you can hear that it's pretty rough.
I'm going to clay it but before I do that I'm going to tape off the hood so you guys
at home can see the big difference between the sides of being clayed and polished.
I've got my tape and I'll split the hood in half.
For the claying process I'm going to be using our Clay Block.
This is a synthetic clay so in case I drop this I just rinse it off and keep working
and since it is large it will make it easy to clay the whole surface quickly.
I've also got our Clay Luber and just simply spray it on the surface and the block.
Working back and forth no circles.
As I go along I can feel it's pulling impurities out because the block is sliding across the
surface a lot easier.
You want to be generous with the lubrication as a precaution not to scratch the surface
more than it already is.
Once the surface feels pretty smooth or all the contaminants have been removed just take
a clean microfiber towel and wipe off all the Clay Luber and the dirt and grime that
was in the paint.
So after claying and wiping off the excess the surface is feeling really smooth.
The towel glides across nicely.
Also when you rub your hand against it it doesn't have that same grimy feeling.
This is the clayed side with no sound and this is the non clayed side it's really rough
and it feels grimy.
As I was claying I could see that the surface was getting slightly marred which is to be
expected because this car was repainted and it isn't the same standard that it would be
in the factory.
Now I'm going to take my 10 FX polisher with a white pad and using the Slick Finish Cleaner
Wax I'm going to polish this side to give you guys a fifty fifty comparison.
I've got my 10 FX with a white pad and I'm going to apply the Slick Finish Cleaner Wax.
Simple apply five or six hex sized dabs to it.
I'll spray the pad with Pad Conditioner.
Then blotch it out over the surface and I'll work my way from the inside out.
As I'm spreading out the polish I don't want to go over a two foot by two foot area because
as I'm working the polish if I go over that area the polish won't break down any further.
On speed setting I'll spread it out.
I'll bump it up to speed setting six which is as fast as it goes to cut through the swirls,
scratches and oxidation.
After the polish has been thoroughly broken down I'll take a clean microfiber towel and
wipe off any of the excess or anything left behind.
Already I'm seeing a lot of great results.
The hood has a huge difference from what it looked like before.
So now that I've finished polishing this side of the hood I'll remove the tap so I can show
you the big difference between the polished and non polished side.
You may notice I have a quick detail spray that's because this tape tends to leave a
little bit of adhesive behind so I want to clean that off to give the best end result.
There you have it.
So I've just finished polishing this Toyota and already it looks a lot better.
But now I'm noticing that there are little things like the tires and undercarriage that
doesn't pop like the paint does.
So I'm going to dress the tires using our Nice And Wet Tire Shine.
Simply shake it up and spray it on to the clean tire.
So now I've coated the entire tire and you may have noticed I got some on the rim which
is fine it'll wipe right off.
If you don't like the high shine just take a clean microfiber towel and buff off the
excess and this leaves behind a nice glossy finish but not an overly wet look.
So after using a single stage polish like Cleaner Wax it has done an amazing job taking
care of the oxidation and light swirls on this vehicle.
As you can see the paint has been brought back to life.
It looks amazing almost like brand new not quiet but still better than it was.
