Silvia S14 Detailed with Autoglym SRP and Supernatural Hybrid

[Conan]

I had my Silvia detailed earlier in one of friend's detailing shop. Though my car had been recently treated with Mothers polish and Collinite 915, I had some products from the local dealer (Philippines) of Dodo Juice to evaluate so I decided to give it a go.

Picture of the Dodo Juice products, not pictured is the Autoglym SRP since this was from my own stash of detailing products.

The car being hosed with water and washed:

Not pictured is the claying part as it went on very easy due to the recent waxing with Collinite. Autoglym SRP being applied:

Shots of the car after Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid was buffed off:

The finish looks quite deep and shiny in the pictures. Depth of the blue paint seems pretty good though I have another wax in my stash (it's a Japanese Carnauba wax called Authentic Iridium) that can improve the depth even more, but alas is not very durable hence my recent preference for more durable waxes. I hope to update this when I get a better feel about the durability of the Supernatural Hybrid.

Honestly not a fan of gold rims, but man that looks good and they look like you could eat off them!

I may have to change my mind, at least when done this well.

That does look like you could reach into that paint.

Thanks for posting your photos and thoughts about the Supernatural Hybrid. I have a jar that I plan to try and look forward to your opinion on durability. Great job!

Thank you! The rims were treated with Collinite 845 maybe two weeks ago. Brake dust still cling clings to them, it just makes it easier to clean them off.

Thank you for the compliment! Except for the front bumper, front fenders, rear bumper and trunk, the paint is factory paint (I think it is Nippon) since 1997. People from my car club get amazed whenever they find that out.

I love S14s. I've always wanted one. Yours looks fantastic! Anything done to it?

 

[Lasthope05]

That kouki looks amazing. Has it been repainted before because that paint looks mint.

Looks good! I really like SNH, seems to meld the best qualities of carnauba and synthetic together. Out of curiosity (seeing as I'm local to you), where did you get the car done? Always interested in finding good detailing shops in the area (a rarity in the Philippines).

 

[SpoofMastaFly]

Man, that is one clean S14. Hard to find them not molested! Great job.

 

[SkateForGirl]

I love S14's and S15's.

You really made that car super clean. Nice depth in that paint.

Hi Francis, I had it done at Speedyfix. Have you heard of that shop? They're more known for quick mechanical services but they have a small detailing section headed by a detailer that came from Big Berts who actually used to work on my car when I would visit Big Berts in the past.

Thank you! I bought my Silvia brand new from the local Nissan dealer in 1997.

I love S14's and S15's.

Thank you! Are you asking about engine modifications? It was sold from the local Nissan dealer with SR20DET engines. I've installed Tomei cams, Garrett 2871 turbo, higher flow fuel pump, bigger injectors, aftermarket ECU and lots of suspension modifications too. It's close to 300whp measured on a Dynojet.

That kouki looks amazing. Has it been repainted before because that paint looks mint.

Thanks! Parts of the car that had been repainted are front bumper, front fenders, rear bumper and trunk. The rest is factory paint.

Which paint color/paint code?

Which paint color/paint code?

My car papers say Diamond Blue. As to paint code sorry but I have no idea.

Ah, interesting. I definitely know about Speedyfix - had some work done there myself a couple of years back, and I'm planning on having them service my current car once the warranty period is done. Wasn't aware they offered detailing services now though - might be worth bringing the beater car over to check it out

Since you've used Supernatural Hybrid in the past what's your take on the durability?

Any and all modifications! I'm one of the two team leaders for my senior design project. We design/build a car from the ground up using a 600cc motorcycle engine (as per FSAE regulations). Going into the project, my knowledge was mainly engine modifications and boost, but being put in charge of suspension has really broadened my knowledge, so hence my inquisition for all mods!

Don't ever hear of too many people using Tomei products here in the states. They're great products but just don't think they're as well known here in the states. Which ECU are you running?

Actually I've "downgraded" to an SAFC Neo. I used to have E-Manage Ultimate but my car didn't idle well with it and experienced random plug fouling. Also tried Biki-ROM but it never ran right with my car. With the Neo the car is well behaved, no headaches.
