Here's Angry35 I detailed this week as an urgent job before a Formal.

Crap pictures as they were taken with my phone. When It arrived it had some clear sap, what looked to be black paint specs, and some silver overspray on it and it lacked depth of shine.

And a few pics from the owner today

Nice work gents. I've been mega lazy lately and only doing some basic washing... nothing pic worthy

I've done this car before, and its going up for sale so the owner asked me for a quick pre-sale cleanup. Didn't go nuts with this car removing swirls and scratches, just wanted to make it look decent for the sale. Plus its a not a proper paid job

Don't have any before pics but it was in pretty good shape, well looked after and garaged with some usual dirt and grime and lack of wax etc

The outside was washed with Bowden's Body Gel, clayed with Meguair's clay and Megiuar's Last Touch as clay lube. The roof and bootlid had a quick polish with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to remove some deep-ish scratches, light oxidation and water marks... poor colour match on the rear door/quarter evident in the first pic too

Engine bay was cleaned with Bowden's Agent Orange and plastics dressed with 303 Aerospace... Wheels were cleaned with Bowden's Wheely Clean and some random brushes, then sealed with Chemical Guys Wheel Guard. Tyres were cleaned with Agent Orange and dressed with Meguiar's Endurance Gel. Wheel arches were also dressed with Bowden's Tyre Shine

Interior got a good vacuum, cleaned with Autoglym Interior cleaner, plastics dressed with 303 Aerospace, leather wheel and gearknob cleaned and treated with Lexol products and glass done with Meguiar's Glass Cleaner.

Door, bonnet and boot jambs done with Last Touch (awesome all-round quick detailer and cheap in bulk)...

And finally, the outside got a layer of Meguiar's Step 2 Deep Chrystal Polish for a bit more gloss and swirl filling, then a coat of Collinite 476s for protection. Outside plastic trims, wiper arms and door frames all got a layer of 303 Aerospace as well

Pic from Sunday. A few months after I did a full restoration detail on the original paintwork. Regularly waxing every 4-6 weeks and washing every 2 weeks.

Man you guys are good at detailing, I could not be bothered and I don't have a clue haha, my mate just had his supra done by this bloke. http://www.detailparadise.com.au/showthread.php?10605-Moonstone-Silver-Toyota-Supra-Correction-Cquartz-Finest

My r32 was booked in for this week but I had to cancel to next week, can't wait till it's done. I will post up some pics

All your cars and work look great.

gave this little echo a quick going over with the buffinator 900 last week....

but the real win was my first attempt at painting with a gun...pretty happy with it...

[junkie]

That looks excellent. What kind of paint did you use?

[SABBAi]

Good result Artz. Why for you no show me this earlier..

[ARTZ]

cheers guys...Scott i thought you would of seen it on FB mate..

Paint was Debeer base and Body Shop generic acrylic clear...rubbed it with 1200 then some finer sanding pads (2-2500 maybe) and buffed with fg500..pretty simple really..though time consuming...clear could do with some more finishing work but there is only so much effort I am willing to put into a toyota Echo

i was amazed how well the colours blended together actually..I cant even really see the blend lines now
