Vous vous rappelez surment de la belle toyota Supra ? Elle est maintenant passé Single turbo avec quelques autre visite au garage = scratch garantie car mes amis mécanos aiment tellement faire attention aux peintures fragiles.. ou biel ils aiment me donner plus de travail
Process :
The Showroom treatment. Period. ( I do whatever needs to be in a dealer showroom. As simple)
- Headlight:
They needed wet-sanding so this was in the to-do list:
After the wet-sanding and nano-coating:
- Paint reading:
When doing a big correction, it’s mandatory to have a paint gauge to monitor the thickness of the paint:
- Interior :
For reason between me and the owner, we didn’t the extractor wash, we only did a dusting and protecting trim.. He registered to my maintenance wash detail so I will do it next time!
Very very dusty!
After:
- Engine bay:
I’m happy to see that my polishing last year inside the hood lasted quite well. So I just did a quicky and put it another coat of protection. I also polished every metal I could find. With the single turbo conversion there’s now a hole showing that needed a good cleaning too. But hey!! You can’t expect a 20yr old jdm WHITE to still be pure white 20yr old later. You simply can’t haha.
Before:
After:
You can see the 75/25 in this picture! The metal polish did a good job.
- Volk racing Wheels:
I then found out that the wheel needed a little polish. Beeing black gloss, swirls was easy to see. I also polished the lip with Menzerna polish since it’s clear-coated not bare metal!
As for the protection, I went crazy with some of the finest wax on the world. Since we will see each other every month, it’s not a problem to re-apply anyways. As always, the wheels were cleaned with Sonax and boars hair brush first.
After:
- Cleaning:
As always, I cleaned the car using my usual procedure which include the use of many boars brush, APC, Clay bar, foam cannon, chemical decon. Etc.
- Yellowish rear bumper:
Thanks to a rich tune.. the white bumper takes second to turn yellow haha! I had to compound it, APC it and get under the car to really clean it well along the edge of the bodykit. I tried nano-coating the bumper, maybe it will help.. Dunno!
After with the exhaust polished:
Its now as white as it can be! But for how long ? haha
- Storage damage:
These damages occurred when the car was in storage.. the owner didn’t put a cover on his car and the piping leaked and left some white/yellow-ish residue on the paint like salt in fact..
So, what I did is trying with a clay bar, didn’t do nothing. Then tried something more aggressive cleaner, didn’t work either so I went straight to the wet-sanding! Then compounded the whole care anyways. It’s now perfect
- Waxing and Cleaner fluid:
So for the finishing touch, nothing less then the finest product on the market; Swissvax Cleaner Fluid to prep the paint and My signature wax made by Raceglaze UK. This wax will give the ultimate shine that will last longer than sealant. This wax is truly exceptional, if you think Zymol Glasur is special, you have no idea what it’s like to work with this product. Thanks Raceglaze for trusting me.
Trim were fully dressed also:
Oh I wet-sanded that area also, big scratch from someone who layed on the car:
Ça m’a fait plaisir et j’espère que ça va taire certains ….. Faites moi confiance, laissez moi votre auto pour 48 heures, vous allez voir le résultat
