Stonkin Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi, here we have Greg's Twin Turbo Supra that came to Invisible Touch Detailing in preperation for Dragonball 2013. The vehicle was to receive a stage 1 paint enhancement and engine bay detail. This was the car on arrival... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 To start off the engine bay was degreased using APC and a selection of brushes APC was then used to cleanse the fuel cap, window rubbers, mirrors, scuttle panel, lights, badges, door and boot shuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Bilberry was used on the BBS alloys and APC on the tyres The vehicle was jet washed and snow foamed It was then washed using the 2 bucket method with Shampoo Plus, dried and taken inside to be inspected and have the paint depths measured prior to machining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 A few shots whilst inspecting paintwork under halogen lighting Using the Makita rotary, 3m polishing pad and backing plate and a mix of Meguiars #80 and #83 polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Onto the rear quarter Up to the roof Moving around the vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Passenger door Once all polishing was complete, paintwork was wiped down with IPA to remove any remaining polishing oils. Lime Prime Lite glaze/pre-wax cleanser was applied by hand and was then sealed with Collinite giving the owner a great base for future product application. All glass was polished inside and out. The interior was hoovered, dusted and cleaned with APC. The exhaust was polished. Tyres dressed with Endurance Gel. Aerospace 303 was used to dress all rubbers and plastics in the engine bay. These were the final pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You absolute LEGEND. Looks brilliant mate and the comments I had when I got her home! Your attention to detail is faultless mate, so over the moon with the results. I will certainly be using you for all detailing and protection work in the future. THANK YOU Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Holy f... that looks awesome. I'm horribly tempted to spend cash that should otherwise be spent elsewhere correcting my own paintwork now... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm horribly tempted to spend cash that should otherwise be spent elsewhere correcting my own paintwork now... :S Do it, I promise you will not be disappointed. It is without a doubt the best £400 odd I have spent on any car I have owned. Worth every single penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mate, she's in the garage after the 200 mile trip back on the grit and salted roads but still looks pristine. Need to give her a clean tomorrow AM and then out for a proper drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Great work as always Christian. Lovely looking car too Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Looks fantastic, no wonder he was so happy in his own thread and a fantastic colour too. I would 100% be getting this done if I didn't need to get the wheels refurbed and the lacquer sorted by the passenger door...... and the bonnet.... and the stone chips. Damn.
