Washed w/ Dishwashing liquid to strip off all the old "pre-AG" products.

Clayed w/ Meguiars Smooth Paint Kit.
Polished w/ PC and LC Orange pad using XMT light swirl remover.

Applied Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and allowed it to cure for 12+ hours.

Next I'll move on to my wife's car. Not too bad for a car that is 9 years old.
 
Supras are so awesome..............
Nice job!
Anyone who has one rocks in my book!
Mine paid for a large chunk of my new vette....

they aren't that much any more. i sold my immaculate 1998 for 24k - it had 36k miles on it. Look at blue book - they have fallen off a lot!

Mine was not a turbo; it was normally aspirated. There enlies the price differential.
I was its original owner, and i will always love them.

[FONT=&quot]naturally aspirated ..tehehe :p...just had to get ya for that ..sorry lauren[/FONT]
 
Lauren, Nuke, Gary, Scott, Yardie - Thanks for the comments.

I will post wheel pics in another day or so. I've got a question about making the calipers dark again. The metal looks to be dry/faded.
 
This was my dream car when I was a teenager. But for some reason Toyota stopped makeing Supras, and started aiming on "third world" countries, making little Yaris, Echo, and Prius (all very unsafe models), to show a lot of quantities sold.
Maybe one day SUPRA will come back...who knows...

I know.
We went to get one in October. Only Longo had any left - they had 5. 2 white, 2 dark green and a black. All na - no turbo. They had used turbos.
I prefer my own - not used - preowned, you know - so I took it. I turned heads in town with it daily for like 6 months. Not the same with the vette. It was rare, and that was its last year of production - 1998.
I wanted turbo - trust me.

I had hoped, but they didn't. Hence the vette in my garage! Just rumors of new Supras....:( :( :(
