15 hours - Toyota Sequoia
Posted on autogeek, but ill share it here too.
So the weather was pretty nice outside friday in Milwaukee, WI! Mid 40's (although it snowed/flurried for an hour in the afternoon). After seeing Rez90's thread (Operation clean up the DD is complete! Pics inside.) I ordered some d151 to try on my brothers (06??) Toyota Sequoia. Car doesn't look so big , but damn it took forever (~15 hours)! However, it was the FIRST REAL time with a DA polisher besides a test spot i did on the hood of my car. The car is a daily driver plus me and my brothers outdoor (camping, fishing, hunting etc.). It rarely gets washed as it is parked outside everyday. It has a decent amount of dents, and some deep scratches where he applied clear coat from turtle wax pen. I didn't want to wet sand any of it (no paint thickness gauage) so i just left it.
Steps:
-Coin op to get most of the nasty stuff and salt off.
-ONR wash
-Meguiars APC+ for tires
-Clayed with ONR dilute and meguair's clay
-Polished using GG6, LC Cyan HT pads, and Meguiars D151
-Threw on a layer of nxt 2.0 past with LC blue flat pad.
-1 coat of CP PERL 1:1 for tires
-And of course five Blue Moons between the first 5 hr to help keep me warm!
I decided to skip out on the interior bc he has three kids with TONS of junk in the car. Not only that, tons of tissue paper and his random reciepts for things that i did not want to touch or know if he needs or not. Also, I decided not to polish the from and back bumper because it would have been pretty difficult with the 5.5" pads. Got the majority of scratches and swirls out.
As soon as the weather gets above 40 constantly, ill be doing meguiars 105/205 combo, Menzerna PO85RD, and Chemical Guys Black Light with V7 for my 2g TL. Of course with proper washing and claying first!

Thanks! I was super excited to show the results to someone! My brother is someone who doesn't really show much emotion about things, but he came in and was like "WOW!!! It's a lot glossier and super slippery!" Now that it has been polished, it's going to start getting a weekly wash. Pieced a foam gun using the home depots g-foam blaster so i can wash all three cars on a weekly basis as i am the only one that REALLY maintains the vehicles.
March is suppose to be in the mid 40's over here, so i think i will be doing my TL in two weeks when there will be less chances of a snow day. Even though my TL is a lot smaller, i think it will take about 15 hours too with what i have planned for it. Im super excited!
