    This client saw some previous work of mine from a couple cars ago and contacted me interested in cleaning up his son's Yaris. They are both big into outdoor stuff so this Yaris had been through it all. It's daily driven and goes camping, biking, etc. Goal of this particular detail was to clean up the paint as best as possible and get the interior straightened out.

    This Yaris had lots and lots of scratches and imperfections that would not be able to be dealt with other than wet sand / touch up paint but I was able to make a lot of them disappear or be less apparent.

    Also, when I first looked at the car I noticed the condition was different on the front and it had indeed been resprayed. There was a little bit of overspray on the edges of the fenders but other than that it was okay. I made sure to approach the repainted areas a little less aggressively since I don't have a paint meter and it wasn't in as poor condition as the rest of the car.

    Interior took a long time just wiping down every surface and vacuuming up everything. Came out looking better I think.

    Clay bar
    Dried
    Masked
    Griot's DA with Meguiar's Microfiber pad / Uber green foam pad on the repainted areas
    Menzerna FG400
    Menzerna Power Lock.
    Griot's 3" DA with carpet attachment and Folex on the floormats.

    Not much could be done with these due to how deep they were:

    Dried, super hard sap or something on the roof:
