Single stage red 89 Supra Turbo
Hey dudes-
I bought this car as a project a few weeks ago. The paint was oxidized and neglected, and the pass side had major water spots requiring wet sanding. There is some light body damage where the pass door was opened too far and over extended but the rest of the body panels are in decent shape. Anyway, a day of polishing got the paint looking nice again. The paint is Toyota Super Red and it polished up nicely. Still gotta polish the rims when I have more time.

Enjoy....

Justin

Products used: Meg's G110, orange & white pads, Meg's polish & wax.

Re: Single stage red 89 Supra Turbo
Nice job! Single stage makes for some great turn-arounds.

And a great looking car too.

Re: Single stage red 89 Supra Turbo
Thanks for the comments guys. SS is great for a nice turnaround, and the Meg's OTC stuff works really well for the price.

Re: Single stage red 89 Supra Turbo
excellent turn around on that. It's amazing. Seems like a lot of white cars and a lot of red cars for some reason tend to oxidize more then others.

Im sure the owner was thrilled.

Re: Single stage red 89 Supra Turbo
great work. But the downside is I was thinking it looked like new and then started doing the math and realized I'M OLD!
