Detailing your MR2 Some MR2's that I've detailed

blue-sun · 08-21-2006, 01:49 PM

I decided I'd make a psuedo gallery of some of the MR2's that I've detailed in the last 2 or 3 years.

Chee passed away a few weeks ago. But last year when he got this 94T, I got the call to detail it. Beautiful car at a steal of a price. Pics

His brother Gil is going to hold on to the car and keep it as a reminder of his fallen brother. (RIP Chee!)

Next, member mr2turbo12 (IIRC) Joe's now sold 91T (detailed 2 times in the last 2 years)

MR2OC member Keith McVey’s 91T.

Memner wakk0’s 93T

And Finally, my car (in it’s most current state)

Enjoy!

It's nice to see that someone actually likes to take time and detail their car(s).

I'm not sure I understand your question honestly?

Do you mean the engine bay?

I have both yellow Lamin-x film on it (the template was actually cut from my actual fog lights, the pics you see on their site is my pic that I sent them to use - my small claim to fame) and a 3K H3 HID kit.

My H3 HID's

they pics show them at start up and while they are heating up.

Well,

I'm a car detailer (look at the title under my screenname to the left) so I've got plenty of experience, product and tools to clean cars.

Again, see above.

MR2_SW20 · 08-22-2006, 10:27 PM

what buffer, compound/polish, and wax/sealant do you use for detailing?

I usually use the DeWalt variable speed rotary buffer, meguiars mirror glaze compound/polish, and either meguiars nxt tech or turtle wax's ICE waxs.

The cars look clean, weren't in the worse shape as far as swirls, my friends camaro

has swirls like you wouldnt believe. Thankfully its not black or it would probably be white

blue-sun · 08-22-2006, 11:23 PM

I use a porter cable 7424 dual action polisher.

I used Meguiars Dual Action Cleaner and Polish topped with NXT for 95% of my details.

I've only had 1 car in over 110+ that I've done with that combo that it didn't do anything to (recently, a severly faded 97 Integra)

blue-sun · 08-22-2006, 11:24 PM

Oh, check out my detailng website, minus the gallery page (still looking for an easy to updated gallery format, I have LOTS of pics to upload eventually)

you wouldn't happen to use Zymol Royale wax would you? In that case - I usually don't offer this so feel lucky - would you want to detail my car?
