Beast. Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Just wanted to thank Dave for the detailing write-up way back in 06. As someone who has always just used a bucket and sponge …Well lets just say I can still smell them burning outside!! Little over 4 hours spent on detailing her today but im sure with practice I will get that down. Still worth every minute and very satisfying. When I bought the car just a week ago I thought she was clean, nope, NOW shes glass smooth and super clean. Added a pic of my old Supra, my 1st jap car a little over 6 years ago. Bought and waited till I was 25 just to get the insurance - upgraded from a 1.4l 206 to the twin Supra, fun times - Missed but never forgotten (reflection of the ground on the door) Proud !

bronzee Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Happy Ztailing. One of my favourite tricks is when I've finished, pop hand in a very fine plastic bag run hand over paint. Tells you how truly contaminant free the paint is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast. Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ha, yes im sure once I get a nice set of rims on her, I can add a good few hours on for jacking her up, removing every wheel, OCDing over every little detail I have a huge list of mods I want, but im so impatient I want them now! Haha I’ve taken on more work to add to the "mod fund", anyone need any work doing 12 hours - Wow that is crazy! Bet you don't do that every 3 months Ewan - I followed the detailing post on here to the letter. Bought all suggested items which Dave put up. Products I bought were: Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner Meguiars Quik Interior Detailing Spray Meguiars Quik Clay Detailing Kit Meguiars Deep Crystal System Step 1 Cleaner, 2 Polish, 3 Wax Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner Plus all the extra bits, mit, cloths, sponges etc. I guess only advice is just to really set aside the time to carefully do a panel at a time mate, It does get real tedious, but when the results come through its worth every bit or work. Still thx to CS I have a few things to keep me busy ^^ If you read this filter arrived today - thanking you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
