My Detailing Adventure......Mk1 Toyota MR2

This is a bit of a P1$$ take thread i'm afraid...I WASHED then T-CUTTED then POLISHED my mum and dads old MR2 today...funny little things! Can't work out if it's ready for scrap or actually worth something to someone to restore...any ideas?! They just want it out their garage.

This below is the single cold bucket of water out of the tap setup...its got bubbles in it to help wash the car, as you can see if is imperitive that you leave the sponges on the ground before starting the detailing just to add that extra zing to the paintwork.

We then set about the detailing process....trying to get it washed as quick as possible so we could get up the boozer for a pint while the water dried on the car

Mark got on with detailing the side bits of the car with a stiff brush from a dust pan and brush setup

a special product out on the market in a posh case is the way forward it contains CV grease and brake dust from a mk1 golf....be sure there is plenty of this on the sponge cleaning system before taking part in any detailing

Mike half details the car and half stands there like a c*nt...this is a very important part that can't be missed out. Im actually measuring how many layers of paint i can take off later with the t-cut before boning he back to bare metal.

Mark uses high end dusty rags and a very expensive power devil electric polisher from a car booter 5...bargin.

Wow...are work is paying off....time to go to the pub

Back from the boozer a few coats of cheap polish and jobs a good un.....

It's still a shed but its a shiney red/rust shed.




What a waste of a day....

 

It has actually come out quite good! Well done! Next time, use a kitchen scourer to clean the wheels. Works a treat!

Gurds

 

haha, funny post man. and funny looking cars them. inside looks quite cool actually.

 

How much do they want for it? any MOT?

Fabulous handling cars, chassis developed by Lotus. Have quite a following.

 

yep, its definately worth something, the prices are soring for nice series 1 mr2's.
yours looks a bit scabby but saveable.

ebay it as mint and rare.

 

i'd have that as a weekend car

 

erm you need pics of you with a trouser tent whilst you put the polish on like an authentic 'detailing' gheyer lol

 

Stick a 4AGZE in it.

In Bristol (just outside) unsure if to let it go to ebay or not...been trying to convince my old man to have it restored!

Just looked at some of the cars they detail

I can personally never justify spending that amount of time. Might clay the car when I get mine back, but thats only a special occasion
