    Rental Toyota Corolla

    Thought I would have some fun/practice on our rental for the week. My wife`s Durango is in the shop getting fixed after accident #2.

    After a rinseless wash, clay and decon - this what I started with

    After 2 passes with HDSpeed 1st with Griots Boss Orange, followed by Griots Boss Yellow with a Boss 15

    Might try full blown compounding/polishing/finishing the other side to see if there is a difference

    Re: Rental Toyota Corolla

    Nice work! Nice to have a (sorry rental company-) no stakes car to play with.

    I thought about playing around with the enterprise ‘17 Chevy Cruz I had while waiting to find out from the insurance company the fate of my avant when I got rear ended (update: Totaled, bought back, in process of rebuilding).

    I really only made it as far as cleaning the inside and outside of the windows; whoever did it before left it looking like someone wiped the inside down with their dirty t-shirt after fogging up inside the windows. As I was doing the final wipe down, I could only think to myself: This is so not normal...

    Polishing a rental car. I only wish I had that much spare time. I can barely keep up w my own cars!!

    9:30 at night, kids in bed, why not. Better to practice and experiment with their car vs. mine or friends.

    I, too, like demo-ing new products on rental/loaner cars.

    Sounds like a good test run for that $8 coating ;-)

    I say do half the car only right down the middle, just to mess with them.

    That is probably what is happening. Body shop said car is done. I thought I would have the rental over the weekend.

    The rate people have been hitting my wife`s car, I`m sure I`ll get more rental cars shortly.

    Nows your chance to test a (literal) speed run!
