Invisible Touch Detailing - Big Twins Supra


Recommended Posts

Here we have Steve's Big Twins Supra, i'm sure you will all know the car. After Lee at SRD had completed some extensive work on the car, he dropped it off at mine for the car to be detailed prior to Steve's collection. I did not take any photos of under the bonnet as it was not part of the detail, however the work done under there was extremely impressive :)

 

So, this was the car on arrival

Being snowfoamed as a pre-wash

Tyres, door/boot/fuel shuts and window trim all cleaned with APC, wheels with Bilberry, before being clayed and then washed via 2 bucket method using Shampoo Plus. Taken inside to be dried and have paint thickness readings taken.

Not looking too bad, but the paint revealed its true condition when inspected under LED lighting and was really hindering the Supra's appearance

So after a full stage 1 machine polish to enhance the finish, the paint was panel wiped to remove excess residue with an IPA solution and then treated with 1 layer of Swissvax Best of Show

Wheels were polished with NXT, tyres treated with Endurance Gel, glass polished inside and out, interior hoovered, dusted and cleaned with APC. These were the final pictures

Cheers guys. I did very few photos on this occasion Smartly, as i was really on a deadline, so not this time no, but the quality of the machine polishing was to my usual standard :)

 

The license plate 'used' to be pretty accurate. Previously it had one huge single turbo fitted making ridiculous power but very high up in the rev range. This has just been swapped out for 2 smaller turbos making over 700 but at a far more useable range, and will also make it a quicker car on the street.
