not a titan but my step by step on my attempt to detail.

This was my most recent project and I thought I'd share my step by step on how to detail a car on this forum b/c all of the other forums I'm on already have an in depth detailing thread!

Products....I'm not endorsing any companies it just what works for me. I tried to cut costs where I can and this is my lineup

washing
~adams ph balanced car soap
~2 5 gallon buckets and grit guards
~lake country foam wash mitt for the bottom panels
~lake country wool mitt for the top panels
~karcher pressure washer 1800psi w/ 15* nozzle
~foam cannon w/ 1:5 soap water dilution
~orange degreaser in 1:10 dilution <~~my p21s replacement
~waffle weave drying towel

paint correction
~3D medium blue clay
~3D quick detail
~2 lake country orange pads(med cut)
~2 lake country white pads (light cut)
~menzerna SIP super intensive polish
~menzerna 106fa
~many cobra microfibers
~pepboys orbital polisher/sanderI let my buddy borrow the makita! and he wouldn't answer the phone

protection
~chemical guys m-seal for paint and sometimes jetseal
~3D water based shine







these are some images of major paint correction from all the desert pin stripes...and again unfortunately I don't have any closeups of the stripes sorry, but just to show it can be corrected for those who wheel your titans

from going through stuff like this....



And yes I have taken my Titan through the entire cleghorn course w/ ease and 5 passengers. The only downfall was the width of the truck. the length actually helped stabilize


I did this!
