    Hey everyone,

    Basically I drive a silver 00 Toyota Yaris that was a gift from a family member last year,and I keep noticing she's getting more and more battered looking... Bits of rust and a few scratches here and there. Basically, I keep noticing that all the other Yaris's of the same vintage seem to look better than her and tbh she looks absolutely awful. Looking to make her presentable again as a bit of a pet project and to be honest I know absolutely NOTHING about cars and even less about the outside.I might end up selling it 'cause I'm moving to the UAE for a year in August and want her looking well for that eventuality too.. I was hoping ye'd have some tips for me!

    Thanks,
    Carol!

    Stick up a few pics of the car if possible.

    A wash, polish and wax would probably see it looking at least presentable. The likes of rust are not really easily DIY-able.

    On alot of these the plastic trim if black plastic greys like no mans business there are plastic restorers you can get to sort that out anyway and maybe a chipex kit for the smaller scratches/chips.

    But yea pics would help alot
