Dan_Turism0 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 With a Ace Cafe on the horizon I decided to give the supra a full detail taking a day off work to do so ....... I was up at 8 and starting by half 9, unfortunately I was on a tight schedule so I couldn't do step by step pics however the car was jet washed, washed using the 2 bucket method and a brand new Meguiars wash mit, dried with microfibre towel....then it was onto cutting the bodywork as there was a number of imperfections i wasn't happy with so I used G10 cutting compound, once this was done the car was then jet washed and dried again removing the loose compound, I then polished the car using Auto Glym Deep Shine Polish, then given a coat of gloss to seal it again Auto Glym and finally a light layer of Auto Glym Aqua Wax..... So the moment you have all been waiting for the pics enjoy i'm over the moon with the finished outcome....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha cheers, it was the first i've really fully detailed a car so was a little nervous but more than pleased with the results and no it took me the best part of 7 hours to do......I now have a greater respect for the work Christian does lol Oh and here's a few pics of the other half and her friend at Ace posing with the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Car looks great Dan. Do yourself a favour and get some HD wax. The Aqua Wax is only for a quick wipedown and only lasts a few days. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
