Just had the Supra detailed... before & after pics (lots of 'em)!

**ct9a gsr** · 08-10-2008, 02:17 AM

My car has original 14yr old Toyota paint... I never really noticed until today that my paint had swirls and light scratches almost ALL OVER IT... literally the whole car. They were hard to see in the shade but easy to spot in direct sunlight. Well, I had the car go through a full detail process by Tripp... and with his chemicals and magic, he got literally every swirl and light scratch out of the paint... enjoy the pics:

BEFORE

AFTER

WHOLE CAR SHOTS

It's absolutely amazing what a full detail job can do, especially on a black car. I never thought my 14yr old paint could have the wet-glossy-black look again... but thanks to Tripp, it does. I <3 my Supra even more now. ^_^

**X-Runner** · 08-10-2008, 02:20 AM

**Alan®** · 08-10-2008, 02:25 AM

**sleepys4** · 08-10-2008, 02:36 AM

What exactly did he use Zaino? Anybody else use that stuff? I hear it does wonders to swirls and faded paint.

**csmiths** · 08-10-2008, 02:47 AM

I do not... but imagine a super dirty black car with swirls all over it... =x

Tripp does his details for quite an affordable price... I've been a long time friend of his so I did get quite a hook-up, but his normal detail job is far less than the average and top-notch work.

The maroon car is a Sentra, not a Hyundai. =D

**Random Hero** · 08-10-2008, 01:50 PM

I'm not hating, but the paint was one things I noticed about the car when I first saw it last fall.

But, coming from anoter Supra member, I'm glad you cleaned it up. It looks great.

Now you need a drop.

**SixSquared** · 08-10-2008, 01:59 PM

looks great! I remember when the Honda dealership detailed my del Sol for me.. it was nowhere near the quality yours is, but it was still such an improvement over it before, since they used the scratch and swirl cutter and then buffed the hell outta the whole thing. Looked like the car had been repainted. Beautiful supra, as well... I don't like the wheels cause I'm not a fan of matte silver.. looks dirty to me... but I appreciate the ballerness of them.

The 240 was sold awhile ago... I just never got around to photoshop'n a new sig 'til now... I'll lower the Supra later, maybe... I enjoy the stock spring rate a lot right now.

Tripp charges a lot less than most other detailers... and even less for me since I've been his friend for awhile. Details like this can be anywhere from $200 to $1000+ depending on the person.

I laughed the first time I saw your Supra cause I thought it was mine... haha... well, minus the part where you're super-dee-duper fast and I'm just a lil' quick.
