L33 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 well my big day for japanese performance mag was friday and what a lush day it was i spent 3 hours wednesday after work cleaning, and then took the day off thursday and spent a further 10 hours cleaning!! Wash, clay, machine to remove swirls and blemishes, two coats of Collinite 476 (hard wax) followed by Chem Guys Wet Look sealant on the body every wheel removed, washed and polished inside and out engine bay washed, scrubed, polished wipers all removed sanded and resprayed windows i used auto glym resin polish instead of usual window cleaner and was amazed how much better the results were!! couple days before my dad resprayed the front bumper to remove the lacker peel and resprayed my second hand front splitter kindly sold to me by wile e coyote exhaust back box wash, scrubbed and polished fmic rubed over with a scotch brite pad and polished interior washed, hoovered and polished tyres back to blacked and scuttle pannel back to blacked the shoot took 5 and a half hours friday but was well worth it and seeing the pics on there camera i cant wait to see it in the mag feels so good all the hard work thats gone into this car has payed off! they were a great team and i enjoyed the day! going to ryan on thursday to try and have the first solaris fitted to a auto, should know if it works by weekend and a dyno run again not sure when its going in the mag, i have to ring him after ryan has had it to see if its worked and then he will write up a draft check it with me and then sort out when its being featured! few pics from my camera i didnt relise i had to be in a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 not what u no its who u no! i wanted a indoor place for the shoot as the light brings out the colours! we done a few close ups at home, few in the indoor building, then some slow moving ones on one strech of road and then some faster moving ones on a dual carrigeway! the slow moving ones were at 30-40 mph and she hangs out her car in a bike jacket as her hips upwards is hanging out the door and almost touching the floor!!!

L33 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thing is mate I had kit on my old supra and it was a headake, couldn't go places, scraping, cracking which ur now going to relise I like the stock look and thought having power before looks was more important, can't have a super car getting overtaken by novas as again I'm sure u will soon realise lmao I may do some thing over winter but having the flip its such a pain tryin to repair the above problems as u can't just buy a rattle can and fix yourself!
