Red Toyota Belta

One of my favourite colour in detailing is red and this Belta is lacking the shine and lustre of a red colour car. The car was shampoo washed and thoroughly clayed. The wheels were not that dirty and quite easily taken care of. The car was shifted to the polishing site for a closer inspection on the paint conditions.

The car was full of swirl marks, light buffer trails, some RIDS and some light scratches, i suspect that the RIDS were caused by cat crawling on the surface as the RIDS were only found on the bonnet, top and boot areas.



I double checked the paint health status and from the device readings, it's good to go for safe paint correction.


A mild paint correction was executed to remove the swirls and followed by a medium paint correction for the light scratches. Most of the RIDS were only minimise and not totally remove as that will remove too much of the top clear coat. The interior was thoroughly cleaned and all leather and vinyl parts were moisturised and dressed.


and not forgetting the door shuts...

The entire car was burnished for LSP and i had chosen sealant for the final seal.




These were the final pictures after buffing out the sealant. A total of 4 hours were spent to restore the car back to it's pristine condition again.




Thank you for viewing this detailing session, cheers!

  1. Woooo, nice work bro. Red sure looks glossy and wet when corrected.
    Btw, what sealant did you use?
    Secret weapon? :P

  2. There's no secret in most LSP, it's the preparation stage that make the difference, hahaha... thanks!
