I've been taking care of this 1997 Supra through two owners now. Corrected it once, stays really good since it isn't driven much. I believe it still has less than 20,000 miles on it and other than the recently added exhaust system, its stock. It had never been driven in the rain until the owner drove it to Oklahoma on Christmas, so not only did it see rain but snow as well. Other than actually being dirty this time, it otherwise was still in great shape. Still smells new inside too.



ONR wash (paint was glass smooth, no claying)

3D HD Polish using an Optimum microfiber polishing pad and my PC 7424 XP

Clearkote's Carnauba Moose Wax

ONR wash and wax diluted 32:1 to clean glass

Armor All on tires/fenderwells

I want it too. Probably the only black car I'd consider.

Well, not since birth, original owner was in Florida. But since its been here I've been taking care of it.



Oh yeah, since the owner is near Flower Mound, it was an opportunity to eat at Burgers and Brats (in case you get up that way, Tim) and try the Crime Scene burger. 1/2 pound burger with bacon crumbles, cheddar cheese, fried egg, jalapenos, cayenne pepper sauce, chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion, got the jalapeno chips on the side and because I care about my health, instead of fries, I got a half brat instead.



The knife sticking into the top of the burger surrounded by cayenne pepper sauce was a nice touch...

Scott, several people on this site have stated microfiber pads are great for correction but do not finish down well, especially Meguiars microfiber polishing pad. Do you see Optimum's polishing pad as the exception and it finishes down just fine?
 
Looks good Scott! Rosati's opened up a couple months ago in FM, best pizza in Texas from back home! Now I'll have to add this to the list. Still need to get down your way to Chop House, I owe you lunch still.
 
Have to look into Rosati's, usually go to Nizza Pizza of Park Row and Cooper, great Jersey style pies. Hope you can get into Chop House, episode ran again on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives so its pretty packed again. New location opening in Mansfield should hopefully make the Arlington location easier to get into.



Next rainy day coming up, give me a call, usually not doing squat.

Great to hear. Do they have enough correcting power to clean up after using a compound on a cutting pad (whether that pad be microfiber or foam)?
 
Sometimes I use the Optimum MF cutting pad, not quite as aggressive as Meguiars. Same microfiber face as Optimum's polishing pad but stiffer foam backing. Just depends on paint hardness.
