Correction on Moms Toyota Tazz

[Morne1312]

Did some work on my moms car as time constraints did not allow a full detuil.

Just wanted to see if i could get the paint damage better.
The car was standing next to the road a while back after overheating and some idiot stopping to help made the water spew all over the RH side fender and thus destroying the paint work. Hard to capture on phone camera but hopefully you can see the damage to the paintwork. My dad tried to polish it by hand but did not help at all and the polish residue got stuck inside the cracks.

Measured the paint on the affected fender and it measured a healthy 195Microns while the others were on average 95microns so i was glad which meant i could wet sand it and then compound it with my mezerna wool mit and Mezerna FG400 aand the follow it up with Mezerna 2500 and Red Chemical Guys Pad and My cyclo single head DA polisher to end up with this. Not perfect but better.

The rest of the car was then washed and decontaminated and the rear tail lights was also compounded with the Cyclo DA and the Orange Pad with some Mezerna 2500.

Great work! What was your procedure with the wheels?

Thank you all!

With the wheels i first gave it a clean with billbery wheel cleaner at 1:10 Strength.
Then i used dragons breath to remove the iron contamination and then moved on to autoglym tar remover to remove tar spots and glue residue. Then it was clayed to remove any stubborn stains and finally washed again using billberry

What is a, "cyclo single head DA polisher"

I have only seen the dual headed version

The polisher in your picture looks like it has a single head
