Finally getting warm out!

[GreatAvalon]

Last September we purchased 2 new vehicles. 2014 Tundra and 2014 RAV4. I CQUK'ed my vehicle within weeks (Tundra), but man, that kicked my butt! This thing is a huge vehicle. When I finally felt like addressing the RAV, work was busy and I was tackling a few other projects (retrofitting my Tundra was a big one!). So, with it finally getting warm out, I am ready to go and I have my sights set on the RAV4. When we had our old 2013 RAV4 I coated it with CQUK. Our 2014 is the same color (blue), so my goal is to do it even better than I did the first time. I have ~20ml of CQUK left from when I did my truck, which took a solid ~60-70ml for 2 thick coats, and I just ordered another 30ml of CQUK. And another DLUX. And some MFM towels . So I am ready to go!!! I plan on tackling it late next week into next weekend. This will be coated vehicle #4 .

Everyone else excited its back to "detailing season"?

BTW- my CQUK lasted through the winter very nicely! I need to reapply a layer of Reload, but the CQUK was washed 2 or 3 times over the past 3-4 months (lots of projects going on at work), and it was still beading water very nicely! And the hard shine is still there on my silver truck

Here's what I am working with (pics before my retrofit):

I love CQUK

Thank you, sir! I felt like such a fair-weather detailer this winter. LOL, I didn't feel like a real one. But man, my normal wash on the truck takes me no less than 3 hours. That's a long time out in the cold

Glad to see you're still around! I'll have to go looking for your recent work!

Looks great!

Awesome!! Now that is the way to do it

Looks fantastic. Did you apply coating to glass, wheels, rubber parts as well?
By the way, prop to you detailing such a big machine like that. It must involve a lot of time!

Welcome back my friend! It's the season

Thanks, guys! Just re watched Corey's awesome CQUK application video! I woke up early to coat and it is a solid 37 degrees out, so I'm giving it some time to warm up closer to the high of 65.

No coating on the glass (I've been trying out a few different things on it), but plastic has been DLuxed, all paint has been coating, including all chrome. Only thing left is to coat the wheels with UK. That will be soon

6 months going strong!
