Stage 1 Paint Correction on a fellow club members Supra from the MKIV Supra Club.
I arrived at 9am Saturday and this was the car
The wheels and arches were sprayed with All Purpose Cleaner and then scrubbed with brushes, hot water and Meguiars Shampoo Plus
The car was then snow foamed
Inside the petrol cap and door hinges were brushed with APC
It was then washed using Meguiars Shampoo Plus and clayed with Gloss it Mild Clay and Meguairs Last Touch as lube
It was then washed again and brought back inside to be dried. You could really see what the paint was now like
The Supra was then taped up ready for machining
I used a sectiuon of the rear wing as a test area to see what would work. For machines i used the Makita rotary for most of the car and Meguiars G220 for some tighter areas. Menzerna 106FA brought it up lovely and for the majority used Menzerna 106FA on a 3M polishing pad, Menzerna 85RD on a 3M finishing pad and on some areas Menzerna RD3.02 on a Meguiars polishing pad for a bit more cut.
After giving the dust a good wipe down with Last Touch i then applied Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite as the chosen glaze/pre wax cleanser. After removing that i polished the wheels with Meguiars All Metal Restorer and applied a coat of Poorboys Wheel Sealant and then took the car outside for a few snaps whilst dry and light
It was then brought back inside and 2 coats of Vics Concourse was applied to seal the hard work in
Whilst the wax was curing the interior was wiped down, hoovered and the engine bay was also wiped down and plastics/rubbers sprayed with 303 Aerospace and metals polished with Autoglym Metal Polish. What a lovely sight
And here are final pictures. Totalled around 20 hours.
Wow, the paint before you started was quite a state? looks so much fresher after the detail :thumbup1: Bet the owner thought it was a different car when he picked it up :thumbup:
Cheers guys, the owner is a very well respected member on the Supra forum for his pure love of Supra's in general and his general attitude to tuning/modifying and keeps everyone entertained with his videos.
The car recently took part in Thunder Road, which is a 1 mile top speed event with only a selection of cars being allowed to enter from specific clubs. The owner managed to achieve 190.5 mph as he croosed the mile line in 27 secs! which gained him 2nd place for top speed, he also managed the quickest 1/4 mile in the same run and also the quickest mile! 1st place was taken by another supra owner who achieved 198 mph. So the Supra's pretty much stole the show
The car is now in having some serious engine upgrades done Its looking slightly different now but hopefully you will see some new pics of it when it next comes to me.

Good old Toyo R888's mate. Most of the high powered cars would be lost without them, in decent weather of course
