Black Toyota Avensis 02 - Deswirled

[porta]

This car was pretty swirled up as you can see on the pictures.

One good thing is that Toyotas clears are pretty soft :xyxthumbs so you can

correct them without using the rotary. I only used the Top tool with a polishing and finishing pads.



1. Degreased the car first with a tar remover and then with a TFR(trafic film remover)

2. Powerwasher

3. Wash the car using 2 buckets

4. Clayed with sonüs block

5. Wash again and dry with 2 waffle weaves.

6. Top tool with polishing pads and Menzerna PO83RD3.02.

7. Top tool with finishing pads and 3M 800349(extra fine cut -new formula) must say this was very nice to work with!

8. R-2000 paint cleaner with finishing pads. Let it haze for 15min, then wipe off with MF-towels.

9. R-2000 paint sealant with finishing pads.Let haze for 30 min, then rwipe off with MF-towels.

10. Wheels dressed with Concepts Contour tire dressing.

Outside, but here in nothern Sweden we don´t get so much sunlight after 4pm. But the car came out much better then before.And the customer was very pleased and happy.

do you have an after pic of that back bumper that got messed up?

 

[porta]

Nope, I hit it with the rotary just to even it out. The rear bumper will be repainted in a couple of months so I didn´t care so much for it.

The black looks great! how big is that car? whats it based on? the corolla?

 

[porta]

About the same size as a Saab 9-3 and Ford Mondeo. So it´s bigger then the Corolla.

Not sure what it is based on but the scion tC is based on it

Very impressive job removing the swirls! :bow



Any full car shots?

 

[tom p.]

Yes, certainly is. I take it this is a metallic black - - very tough when the finish has some miles on it.



Youre 1st picture of this series is just excellent...really highlights the wear on the finish.



I hope you charged the owner a lot of Krona !

Looks great!



What is that white stuff on the ground? :chuckle:



A detailed car always looks great with snow on the ground. :2thumbs:

Thanks for the input and feedback!



Yes is a black metallic and it was in pretty bad shape. Didn´t charge him much beacuse the owner was one of my best friends step father and I know that he will get me some customers if he would be happy with his car(and he was very happy). Charged him $200 but normaly I would take ~$270. And I forgot that I sealed the windows with Res-bonas nano glass treatment. Like aquapel but more durable.



And I must say that the machine(top tool) is a very effective polisher and that Menzerna PO85RE3.02 takes out the swirls very quick and gives a good surface, one a light coloured car it wouldn´t be necessary to use a finer polish.



Sorry no full car shoots, the customer was waiting
