  • Toyota Avensis: hardly used but abused!

    His is a Toyota Avensis, built by Toyota UK.
    The car is a 2003 and is has around 17k miles, 6 years and those miles the car is driven from time to time. You expect it to be in good condition since it is not used frequently, guess again!

    The paint looked fine and shiny from distance but if you were close and inspected under the sun, halogen lights or the dual xenon it was swirled up horribly, a couple of RIDS and some deep scratches and you could clearly see the metal.

    Mainly I use M105 with the Polishing Pad on the rotary followed by M205 with Finishing Pad on the Flex and protected with M20.

    How it looked, pretty good from distance eh!




    Let's inspect with the Dual Xenon, not that good






    Washed and clayed and took the car outside to inspect under the sun
















    Started working with M105, this is how it looked under the halogens. Some 50/50 shots as well









    Sometimes I stared with this


    I ended up with deeper RIDS


    And after two to three passes, removed








































    M105, left micro marring, so this I followed it with M205, this is a pictures showing the difference between M105 and M205, the left side M205 was already applied / right side M105 only


    No LSP applied, only M105 and M205

          Sweet! Looks great man. That 105/205 is just... yeah, it's been said over and over so you get the point.

          Those reflection shots with the clouds are nice.
          2007 Honda Civic Si - the pretty thing
          2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII - the fun thing
          1995 Honda Civic DX - the ugly thing

            Great work once again.

            On the befores it looks like it was run thru a automatic car wash more times then it has miles on it. lol

            Really like the 50/50 shot of the 205/105.

            The reflection pics are great.
            quality creates its own demand

                              The paint was protected with Meguiar's Polymer Sealant (M20).
