Toyota Yaris ”Swirl edition” vs Menzerna Powerfinish

This Toyota was hammerd and I was helping a friend. We talked about how we should get this car look as good as possible with minumum effort, and I think we nailed it. I have only pictures of the panel I polished and the car will be finished on monday.

I used 2 different kinds of techniques. On the driver side, I just used a orange coolshine pad and PO203S. Spread at 900 rpm, correction at 1500-1700 rpm and finished with multipel passes at 900.

On the passenger side I did the following. Spread at 900, correction at 1500-1700, and when the polish started to break down, I switched to a finishing pad and did the finishing at 1200-900 with multipel passes.

After the polishing step I used IPA and 3M surface cleaner to remove all the lubrication and to avoid intentional filling. The result? Maybee 90% correction and a very glossy paint with minumum effort, I will let the pictures do the talking.

All the pictures are before lsp and are not enhanced.

Weapon of choice

Driver side

Passenger side
