This one I am stoked on...2003 toyota prius from hell

[Envious Eric]

using a PC, a 70/20/10 mix of PG/RMG/OP, varius orange, burgandy, and yellow/OP pad combos I was able to get the paint about 95% back to original condition....some water spotting remained on the lower half of the car inside the salt guard spray that it added



here are the pics before

overall working with only a PC, this exterior took me 8 hours to complete! one coat of the pg/rmg/op mix, one coat of OP, EX, tires, wheel wells, windows.....exterior only detail. not worth the money I got at only 120 bucks, but it was a friends dad, so discounts had to be given! he tried using a water spot remover powder that you find in the shower cleaner aisles...that is what scratched the car so bad in some spots! I told him to just call me next time!!!!

How long was the working time on your mix...nice detail

[BigAl3]

nice job :) , was curious on what the paint is like on the prius?

[Envious Eric]

i dont think that I could have worked it to the end....seemed like it went forever....I worked for about 4-5 minutes per section applied, and it never went to dry!....in the past without the OP, just the PG/RMG i got about 2 minutes working time at most on speed 6 with orange pad...I just love the optimum line now that I have tried it with OP, I just have to get OC and OHC to complete it

[Envious Eric]

its soft for the most part just like the rest of toyotas, but the hard water spots baked on from over 2 years since I last detailed it with Zaino by hand gave me loads of trouble! without the OP I would have gone through a lot of PG/RMG mix

I have yet to figure out why people who don`t take care of their cars get them in black. :think:



Terrific job bringing it back, those water spots looked horrendous! :bow

[GoodnClean]

Great work! Only thats not a 2003 Prius, thats a 04-05.

[imported_Dave KG]

Thats quite a turnaround there! The car before, what a mess: :eek: !



Sorted it out great though, now looking as a black car should! :2thumbs:

[Envious Eric]

maybe he got it in late 03 and its an 04....anyway thats what he told me it was....an 03
