Its finally done!!!

Well my 4runner is finally looking really nice!!!! Scratches are gone, well most that weren't too deep Swirls aren't as bad. Griots works really well!!!


Well I woke up at 6:30 AM. I finished up around 1:30PM this afternoon. So after 7hrs, 3 gallons of gatorade, and lots of sweating. I'm glad to say that I did this!


Now how in the world will I get that rack back on :pat:


Pics will be coming very soon!!!

Cool. Give us a detailed description on your experience with the Porter Cable setup, and the Griot's wax.

My rig is is need of a bath after our wheeelin' trip yesterday.
I got up early this morning and was out there detailing the whole interior as it was a little dusty.

The outside will have to wait as we got a rain system that moved in just as I was putting the vac away.
Might tackle the wash job tomorrow.

Well I think if I wouldn't have listened to you in the first place about the Porter setup, I would probably still be outside hand waxing my car. The PC setup was very easy to use and to get used do. It did take a little time though. The clay bay shook like crazy!!!! LOL!!! But it did like you said, it made the paint very smooth feeling. When I got finished with the clay the side I was using was almost black in color!!!

I found that the polish did get rid of LOTS of scratchs from tree branches. Hopefully the process next time won't take as long!!! Actually I had to stop for a little while to fix a window that I had broke on the screen door. As I was trying to take a chair from the dining room outside, I picked up the chair and tried to open the screen door with it. I kinda missed the handle

Few pics are up. Check my sig
