lol glad you took the advice
chemical guys is pretty good too.
i only like their soaps though lol and the stuff they sell by the gallon.
but i like optimum the most and dodojuice for wax etc.

So lemme get this right...

2x buckets... one with either Maxi-Suds II SUPER SUDS SHAMPOO-Superior Surface Shampoo or Chemical Guys CWS_107 Extreme BodyWash, Synthetic Wax and Gloss Enhancer (better If I use together)
Wash with the Zymol Medical Grade Sponge or Sheepskin thingy...
Wax using dodojuice while wet ?? or after its dried??
then use the instant detailer?? I hope I gotted it right.

I might have missed something.............

oic you can just call it optimum "DS" for detail spray.

so you wash. rinse soap off. clay bar. and then wash or rinse the clay bar lube off again. and then fully dry and then wax.
and then use the optimum DS to buff off.
its gloss enhancer plus the wax = crazy shine.

ill post up my one-step that most ppl want me to do to their car soon.

Cking don't mess around when it comes to detailing :naughty:

"only" got hairline scratches lol.
any scratch is too much!!

use this rule: if you can't dig your fingernail in it, you can buff it out

Update:


When I drive my car, it makes a plastic scraping noise from the engine when shifting from 1st to 2nd. This only happens when I start the car, not when im stopped at a light or a stop sign. Ive had this problem from 15K or so miles.

Also, when I drive the car gradually, or stay around the speed between 40mph and 60mph, the tranny feels like its shifting from 5th and 6th gear and it does it couple times and then sits in 6th gear... Kinda annoying. This has happened from 8K miles.

Also, Ive had alignment issues and have gone to fix it at the dealer about 6 times. 3 times in at Toyota City, 2 times in Carlson Toyota, and once at Rudy Luther Toyota.

I did go to the dealer, and their response "This is regular in Camrys, also we dont hear a noise coming from the front."
Me, "HOW THE HELL IS THIS NORMAL IN ALLLLL CAMRYS!!!"

Sometimes I feel as if the dealer sees its under warrenty and since im not paying for it its normal... but once I start bringin out that paper, "OMG WE found alll problems..." -_-

So if anyone knows about this, that would be a big help ... Also I have around 25K miles.

Ill try and make a video or something so I can show you what kinda scraping noise it is, yes it is audible from outside and inside the car.

just get new speakers.
i forgot what size but i think it's 6x9s.
just replace the ones in the door and in the rear and in the front and you'll be set.

ask BlackCam09, he's good with audio.
 
#48 ·
oh my bad.

i meant the speakers in all the doors.

the ones in the front dashboard/deck and rear deck.

basically all the speakers LOL

Nah bro I never got any messages from you.

There are 2 tweeters under the windshield in the front dash panel, 2 front door speakers are 6x9 and rear speakers in the deck panel are 6x9 as well.

I'm running 6.5" CDT Audio 6.5" CL-62Pro component set up front with 2 tweeters, 2 image tweeters mounted on the upper windshield corner and powered by an amp. I bought a speaker adapter off of ebay so I could mount the 6.5" speakers in the front doors. I have them hooked up to their own amp to give them more power and perform to the max! lol I also unplugged the stock tweeters so it doesn't throw off my sound imaging.

The rear I have some alpine 6x9s with the speaker adapter too and plus it raises it up a little so it doesn't get in the way of the trunk bar, with these speakers I have them powered by my headunit as its only used to rear fill the sound. The front is more important because obviously that's where you spend most of your time when you are driving, so just get a good set of component speakers upfront and power them by a amp. Some rear speakers just as a rear sound fill ;)
