ObsessedDetailer Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Super excited to say I finally have a 4Runner. I’m in the process in perfecting it. I’ll take some more after pictures today or tomorrow. I have extracted the carpets with my Bissell spot clean Professional (available on Amazon) that I got for Christmas and it is probably my best tool in my arsenal. And I have extracted the front seats. I pulled the seats out of the car and cleaned all the bolt cover trim pieces as well. I also disassembles the center console to get this as clean as I possibly can. Still have more to go, I will update as I do it. I will be coating someone soon if i can catch a warm day sooner or later. But for now here are some pictures.

mc2hill Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Nice truck Tim! It is always fun to get a new vehicle of you own to do a full detail too. That white floor paint around the seat mounts would be bug the crap out of me! I would be tempted to put down some Plasti-dip where the carpet holes are.

ObsessedDetailer Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I know, me too @mc2hill it’s covered by black trim pieces. I just had them out because I removed the seats to fully clean under the seats mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 There is something special about getting a vehicle that you own and being able to detail it the way you want. Enjoy the new rig. ObsessedDetailer and Bscott94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsessedDetailer Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Totally agree! @RayS thank you!! I can’t wait to get some wheels and RSG rock sliders on it. Just got it tinted today. 50% on the windshield and replaced the 15% on the front windows. They were kind of beat up RayS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Dmax_HD Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Congratulations @ObsessedDetailer!! Looks awesome and can’t wait to see what it looks like with a few accessories on it! Are you going to ceramic coat it at some point? ObsessedDetailer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsessedDetailer Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 A little update: Last week I got new tint the 4Runner. The driver and passenger tint thad been nicked with what seemed like the seatbelt a bunch of times from the previous owner. I got 15% on the driver and passenger and 50% on the windshield. Really makes a big difference from the outside. hardly looks any different from the inside. I also cleaned the wheels and they were pretty filthy. So I cleaned those with some Waterless Wash. And after i had gone around and cleaned the faces of all the wheels, i decided to just do a full wheel clean because the barrels of the wheels still were filthy. I have started polishing, I started with the door handles, and didn't get to do much more than that. Will do more this weekend. I cant wait to get this thing coated! I got to use my nano for the first real time on the door handles and I absolutely love it.. here are some pictures. I would like to take the door handles out to be able to polish the handle cups @Dmax_HD, tlbullet and stalebreadjr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Ma's Cousin Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Very nice does it fit in there okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 She's looking good Tim. Trying to get under the door handles is a real pain. I use cut up old Orange and White pads by hand and while it works, it still isn't great nor pleasurable on the back of the knuckles.

mc2hill Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 She is looking proper now Tim! Try some clay under those door handles. I have luck with that in the past on white car (I guess 'paint' transfer from the lady that drove the car). ObsessedDetailer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
