Reflections Detailing: Toyota Supra TT

It has been a while since I posted a click and brag. At the customers request I am doing this more for him. I use to love click and brags for the feedback but seems like more and more voyeurs now days?

I was contacted by a forum member with a 1995 Toyota supra TT that was in need of a paint correction, engine detail, and minor interior cleaning. He drove it up and left this beauty for me to work it over and make it shine. The paint is about a year old and was very well done. The paint contained some swirls and minor halos. The wheels where a chore as they were uncoated and would spot out.

After some testing it was decided:
105/yellow 2.0 megs
106FA/black 2.0 megs
UF/blue uf pad
IPA after each corrective measure
Final wash with Citrus wash and Clear allowing it to dwell……removed all remaining oils.
1000P 3x
Wheels cleaned with flitz
Wheels sealed with 1000p
ONR interior wipe down
Sprayway for windows
P21s TAW for engine cleaning
Engine dressed
Remove wheels and P21s wheel gel
P21s TAW for wells and calipers
Ultima Tire and Trim
Leatherique Pristine Clean for dye transfers on leather


Here are some befores:










One thing I was told by the owner is that Supras design hold tons of water in the seals around the back and window, he was correct a lot of water had to be blown out.




Here are the afters:
















While I think the images turned out okay, in person several neighbors stopped by and just stared at the car. The car glowed the gloss jumped way up.

Cheers,
GREG

Re: Reflections Detailing: Toyota Supra TT

First off I would like to thank Greg on the awesome job he did with my car. This guy knows is stuff and I couldn't be happier with how it came out. I'm super anal when it comes to my car and Greg is probably the only person I've ever felt comfortable leaving my car behind for someone to work on it. Thanks again Greg. Hope to see you on the 4th.

Here are a couple more pictures.

Nice work!


poorman's supra- Very nice car!! This has to be one of the nicest and cleanest looking Supra's I've ever seen. I love everything about the car (wheels, interior, no huge wing, etc..) You are very lucky to have found Greg to work on it!
