mplavery Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Since i have had the whole week off i thought i would give my Supra a good clean and sort out some jobs that needed doing First thing was my headlights. Though i think they look good from a distance, up close they look a bit messy and few of you guys have noticed too so i have taken them out and given them to the bodyshop to tidy up One thing that has annoyed me is that in the front bumper, there are gaps where you can see the inside of the bumper which is unpainted..Also the intercooler is slightly lower on the driver side so that also needs to be straighten up.. So bumper off Inside of the bumper painted black Intercooler straighten up Next given it a good clean Wash Claybar Then it bloody started to rain/thunder and hail !!! but managed to still work in the garage Paint cleaner, then Polish Then the sun came out and managed to get the wax on All the products i used was Meguiars and the wax was Meguiars Ultimate wax which is the best wax i have used to date...very impressed Her she is how she stands, just waiting for the lights to come back from the bodyshop I have the interior and engine bay to do and im going to respray my wheels as they seem a bit patchy in places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Looks great, I've been limited to mechanical work on the supra this week so the only addition to the bodywork for mine has been oily finger prints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing your thread on your amazing Do-Luck Supra , I did actually have an idea to sell it...do a bit of saving and get a high powered Supra but after talks with my girlfriend of my amazing idea .... I'm going to keep it lol I would like to and it's on the cards but I'm in the process of saving as much as I can for a house.

James Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 From some of the pictures I've seen of this car, it is one of my favourite in the club! Good vision with the colour choice!

Hammer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looking gooood fella. Love the look, colour is so unusual and suits the car so well. Can't beat the smooth feel of the paint work after a clay baring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looks gorgeous bud, is the new Meguires Wax easy to apply and remove, can you get away with covering the whole car at once, like the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Didn't i tell you that wax was awesome mike ....car looks stunning mate must come down and have a proper nose some time DodgyRog the Meg's wax applies really easily i applied it left for 30mins to cure then buffed off easily, the only thing i noticed was that it needs a little extra buffing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Lovely looking Supra Need to give mine a good clay to get all the contamination off the paint and get it looking like new again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Get yourself some Bilt Hamber soft clay, £10 for a huge 200g block you can cut into 6 bits and only requires water for lube. Fantastic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looks gorgeous bud, is the new Meguires Wax easy to apply and remove, can you get away with covering the whole car at once, like the old one As what Dan said mate....really easy to apply, on my paint it hazed Up well too... I must of left it on there a good hour due to the rain and it came off fine Great results ! They do a whole range of the ULTIMATE Which I almost have, the only thing I'm missing is the shampoo which I'm waiting for my Meguiars Gold to run out of. The only bad thing I can say about it is due to it so easy to apply, you can use to much wax then needed.. So I'm going to go through a tin a bit faster then normal but thats down to me being greedy lol Thanks for the comments guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 So today I have reprinted the wheels so there not patchy anymore... Then I noticed that there was loads of water at the bottom of the Do-luck front bumper still from the day before So I drilled some drain holes each side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
