this is for anyone that looked at the oxidation thread i jsut made




well this is my luck haha, it snowed yesterday, so its gonna be a ##### to wash off the car before doing the sealant and even tougher to do the front and rear bumpers while trying to keep the garage door closed.. ugh!


before the start of the process, looks good, but anything looks good while polished from 10 feet away!

wheels before, dont look that bad, but they have dirt in places that are hard to get to without washing properly

just to add, i still have to finish a couple parts of the polishing right now, and then its on to the interior, and then engine bay, the snow is keeping me from doing much right now. (in a garage but tight space to work with for the front and rear)

thank god we have not had any snow yet. I remember looking at toyota supras and thinking this car here is in the mid 1990's and its made by toyota I should be able to get one for a nice price. then I checked the price and said those are more expensive then I thought. for a 1993 those cars designs are nice.

metal polishing hint --- use quad 0 steel wool and metal polish to address your tips and canisters from exhaust.

Nice. I worked on a 98 red supra with original paint it was red. All the plastic parts of the car where a darker red then the rest of the car. My girlfirends moms Pearl White 2009 Camry is the same way. I heard it a big problem with Toyota because the cars are made in Japan and the bumbers and wings are put on here in the States. Does your supra have the same probkem?

yeah, ive been using 0000 steel wool for a while on chrome and metals that need good polishing for a while, its how i got my 69 chevy bumper back to perfection after it sat out in the rain and mud for 4 months!







and i dont have a problem with odd colored paint on the car.... in fact there arent a lot of cars that are like that, even with original paint on the supras, they arent assembled in pieces from different locations. they are assembled complete at 1 factory where they are made (different ones based on the vin), ive seen a lot of them with original paint and they dont really have that issue......




yeah, the nova should be next once i finish the supra, but the winter is coming quick, and its gettin to me right now.
