Oakes - Detailed: 1994 Toyota Supra - Troll

This is a photographic journal of my 14 hour detail of Troll's 1994 Toyota Supra, there are a multitude of pics to show the difference in the vehicle when it showed up and when it left (at 2am ) I am very thankful for the help of Chaos on this project as well. On to the pics, I will try to be as descriptive as possible but they are pretty self explanatory.

Products used for the paint correction:
Menzerna Intensive Polish
Menzerna Final Polish
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
Collinite's No. 845 Insulator wax
Optimum Opti-Seal
All used on a Porter Cable rotary and a Cyclo dual head with orange, green and white pads.

Here are the before pictures of the car:







Clay Barring the car


These pictures are after the wash and Clay of the whole vehicle, note the reflections showing the sractched and hazed look of the paint






Polishing the wheels


Now for the polishing results of the car, starting with the wing. Notice the specks and imperfections on the arch of the wing and the end result following



Buffing underway


Now for everyone's favorite, the 50/50 shots. These pictures will show the difference between the taped off sections that were polished in contrast the non-polished sections. See the difference for yourselves! Also, keep in mind that these pics were taken immediately after the first polishing step, still to be followed by three more steps before finishing!





In this picture, the front fender is polished, the door is not polished


In this picture, the hood is polished, bumper unpolished.


50/50 shot of the trim being treated (streaks on the door = wax drying)


The finished pictures!






Daylight pics!






Hood reflection


As always, Enjoy! A HUGE thanks to Bryan for the awesome pics, finally able to show the true results of my work

Claybarring definitely makes a night and day difference. Nice job. Must have taken a while.

Yes it does, but the clay bar step was about....1/8th of the process

Well, that's what happens to paint when it's left out side and not cared for properly. However, now that it's in Troll's hands it's ball sucking days are over, let me know if you want your car done
