Comments good or bad welcome.

Looks really nice, I've always liked your truck. What did you use on it?

Thanks for the complements.

I washed and dryed the truck, then went over it with a clay bar, then machine polished with a foam pad and 3M Swirl Mark Remover (removed by hand) and finally applied a carnuba wax via machine and removed by hand. Takes about four hours, but it should help the paint last a long time.

EDIT--Jesse, I just spent some time looking at your cardomain site...nice truck! I am quite partial to Xtra Cab SR5 V6s...Toyota hasn't made a better truck since the last one rolled off the assembly line in 1995.
