Black Toyota Supra - Single Turbo Detail

Invisible Touch · 15-02-2009, 08:42 PM

This weekend i did a paint correction and detail 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, Im off to bed

Saw this on Piston Heads, absolutely cracking job, well done Mr!

That's immense!

I'm just looking to do my Aristo and that's exactly the same paint as that and is currently in a similar state! I'll be happy if I can get it anywhere near how that has come out

Can I ask a daft question as I'm new here but what's the tape called you've used to cover all the rubber trims please?

Is that your car Jamie? Thought it looked well under the bonnet, should have twigged!

Mk IV Supras rock

Always wanted one of the TT versions but wasn't brave enough to buy one as I wouldn't have been experienced enough to spot a goodun from a moneypit

Keep up the good work keeping these cars looking good for the rest of us to appreciate

Top job there mate, My 300zx was in a fairly similar state when i bought it, black paint goes a HORRID colour with that many swirls in it.

I tip my hat to you, well done!
