What we have here today is a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser in Army Green... This is my DD and since i bought it (last July) I have done nothing but give it an occasional bath, and I stress occasional. Decided it needed a bit of love. This isn't an flat out 100% correction effort detail. My goal wasn't that as this is my DD, but rather to bring back the gloss before applying a LSP. Overall the paint work has the general wash swirls but quite a number of RIDs. But due to the color it hides them very well... After a single pass with Menzerna FG400 the gloss is back, the swirls removed, and the RIDs have been blended. Trim was dressed back to new and the paint really shows its depth of color now. Quite pleased with the outcome for only a few short hours of work. Not many pics as I was just looking to clean it up a bit but enough to show the transition. Enjoy and thanks for viewing!

Lots of dead bugs... Under the lights... AFTER: Paint work has a deep gloss. Paint shifts depending on lighting, with flash you will see the paleness of the color, without the dark hue it takes on...
