Have always had a soft spot for the lates 80's and early 90s Japanese sports cars, supra, 300Zx, RX7 so I was pretty excited when the owner contact me about his 87 supra. Car was in amazing condition and had been repainted in Audi Black for the hood and Audi silver for the body.
To say the paint was soft would have been an understatement. I think I could have scratched it with air from my compressor. Overall paint was in excellent condition with minimal swirls and very fine scratches as you can see from the photos.

I can't say I've overly impressed with it. For some reason I find I can remove more surface contaminant with a regular mothers clay bar.

I think Riccardo Blue Clay would ve been a good choice , it s more aggressive than the Yellow one , I guess I ll have to order some on a next order .
