Mom's Prius- A Work in Progress

[kurtb2080]

Here are a few pics of what I hope to fix on the good 'ol Prius.

Couple scratches.





Some oxidation on the headlights.



Leftover residue baked on from the dealer sticker.

Pic of the whole car coming soon!

I will keep you guys updated as I go along!

So I detailed mom's car on Friday for her, mind you all by hand. I don't have a DA (yet) and I woked on it from 9:30-3:30 no breaks. This car has been neglected so it really was a labor of love. It had only been washed maybe once a year and only waxed once last year with a cheap mist on. We live next to an air force base and are surrounded by active farms/crops.

Anyway, I did a wash, clay, UC, UP, UW, UW, and she came up beautiful! I've never seen that paint with so much depth; the flake really popped!

Some before shots:


As you can see the paint is pretty dull. Below are a few of the headlights before and after.

Thanks UC!!

Some final pics, hope you can see the color difference.


Sorry for quality of pics, all from my iPhone. They really don't do it justice, but you get the idea.
