Oakes - Detailed: 1995 Toyota Supra - Nick 95 6spd - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Oakes · 09-18-2009, 11:40 AM

Full detail of a 1995 Toyota Supra, this particular Supra belonging to Nick 95 6spd on TST, in SS Black. The majority of this vehicle is the original paint and was showing some signs of it's age, the issue with Single Stage paint is that it's a little more delicate than Clear Coat Paint. I'm usually hesitant to use harsher compounds because I don't have layers of clear to work. Regardless, I was able to remove quite a bit of the defects and return the gloss to the entire car in prep for this weekend's Cystic Fibrosis show at Good Vibe's Motorsports!

Process:
Menzerna 203 - Orange
Menzerna PO85RD - Green
Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant - Blue
Collinite's No. 845

Wheels before

Wheels after

Couple before shots when the vehicle got here

Some paint shots of the car after the wash and clay under the lights.

A few 50/50 shots of the correction

The rear bumper was severely oxidized, these 50/50s show the difference made.

Door scratch before

Door scracth after

Sealant Curing on the whole vehicle, you can also see all the tape work

Reflection photos

Finished photos of the Supra

Thanks for looking! Please feel free to comment!

No engine bay shots?

Oakes · 09-18-2009, 11:53 AM

Engine bay was not completed on this car, I do have interior shots though

How can you do such a good job detailing and then have shaky blurry pics? Car looks great (!!!!!) but hold teh camera more still! Hehe.

You <3 black cars!!!

Oakes · 09-18-2009, 12:04 PM

haha, yeah I didn't notice how blurry they will till I uploaded them. I was more concerned with getting the car done lol, I'll work on it though!

Well, my neighbors immediately next to me are Oriental and almost off the boat and they recognize all the "JDM" cars like this Supra and the 300zx that was here a while ago. They love it.

Nick 95 6sp · 09-18-2009, 06:54 PM

Nick, sorry I didn't call you yet but a little while ago I ran over to pick up my car at your place and then blasted home and had to go run around with my two boys and just got home now. As everyone can see above, the car looks spectacular....well at least spectacular considering how old and imperfect it is, after all, it's 14 years old and has well over 105,000 miles on it and plenty of track day abuse. But now it's SO MUCH BETTER than it was it's hard to believe. It looks fantastic! Did I tell ya I love ya, man?

...I could give you a big hug...but we'll just skip over the affection part

Thanks a lot for doing such a great job and on such a tight schedule and even changing your plans to get it done to your standards...great job and of course your work is highly recommended.

Thanks everybody for all the nice comments about the car, and the good stuff you're saying about the udder Nick applies in spades.

Makes me proud to be a nudder Nick like the udder Nick who did my car so good....

....OK, I'll shut up already.

Hope to see some you guys at the CF Benefit Show.

Oakes · 09-18-2009, 07:43 PM

Hey Nick, I just got your voicemail and my phone died shortly after haha. I'm glad you're happy with it, she's a beautiful car! Like I said, the car and the quality of the job took priority over my plans and I'm glad that paid off. I'll take the hug next time we meet haha! If I get back in time I will swing by the CF show to check the cars out, wish I was there when you picked her up. Enjoy it! I'm off to my first weekend off in a while, I hope the weather stays gorgeous for the show!
