Toyota Altezza Gita: 2-Step Paint Correction for Annex Houston

This black Toyota Altezza Gita wagon was part of a multi-car restoration project we did for Annex Houston.

Black paint shows every swirl and wash mark, so it got a 2-step correction: a compounding pass to cut out the defects, then a polishing pass to bring back the gloss. The trim and edges were taped off first so the polisher never touched them.

The process

Machine polishing the hood. Black paint shows every swirl, so it gets worked section by section.

A corrected door panel. The cars parked behind it show up clearly in the paint.
