I didn't want to start a discussion on car care just wanted to get some feedback on the paint quality of the tundra. Without getting hung up on the definition of "average" I thought some of the members here could give me their thoughts on the paint and finish relative to their other cars.
regarding washing and detailing; I usually only hand wash my vehicles, but in this case, since the truck arrived dirty there would be not way to tell the condition of the paint without letting them wash it. Had I taken it home, I would have been responsible for it. although I discourage it, my wife occassionaly has her car detailed by someone other than myself and she does not have any surface damage.
I am very fanatical about my vehicles and do not have one scratch dings or dent on any of my cars. trucks, or motorcycles. I have gotten dings on occassion and immediately have the PDR guys at my house to fix it.
I follow the zaino best practices for detailing which includes cutting all polyester thread off of the 20 or so field crest towels and washcloths that I buy every 6 months. In addition, I rinse the cloth off with a 40 PSI hose pressure about 100 times during the course of washing my vehicle. At the end of a wash, the bucket of car wash ,or dawn if I am stripping the wax down, is still crystal clear.
Am I fanatical? Yes. Will I get a new truck? Yes. I am sure that I will go in and find that the vehicle is not up to my standards and will have a new one delivered sans PDI.
