RX7-A timeless classic

Hands down this was definitely one of the best kept and maintained cars that I have ever detailed to date. It’s a MINT 1993 Mazda RX7 that just clocked over 40k miles on the odo. After a few conversations through PM’s it was decided that I would be traveling all the way up to Glendale to Armen’s (ArmenMaxx) house to perform an exterior only detail. I left my house Friday morning at 4:45am and arrived at 7:15ish after getting lost in the Glendale mountains haha. Once I got out of my car it already freaking HOTTTT. The car was outside on the driveway and was already in great condition with the exception of heavy swirling and marring on the driver side fender, some scuff marks on the rear bumper from a hit and run, and oxidized mirrors and rear wing. Besides those easily repairable items there was only very light and mild swirling on the rest of the car. These pics definitely DO NOT do this car any justice whatsoever. The red was so deep and glossy that you must really see the car in person to appreciate its condition. I was able to achieve 95% full correction on the paint. Lets cut the talk and onto some pics of one of the best handling production sports cars that was ever produced. Classy timeless looks, monstrous power, what more can you ask for??

thanks guys! Just had some minor bolt ons, from what I remember he had a garage defender intake, greddy sp exhaust, powerFC ecu w/commander, no cats, and a tune at 14psi. Thanks again for all the compliments.
 
Great job and beautiful car! I've always wanted one, but the reliability of them has kept me from buying one since I can't afford one as a 2nd car.
 
Very nice work! I appreciate the process/products too - I've got a '93 red RX7 (410hp @ the wheels...ridiculous) coming up next month.

hey you have my screen name on my other car forums! hahaha It really is something else when you get to detail a machine such as this. Even though it is 15 years old you just have to appreciate the sexy curvy lines and batmobile looks that come with the car. I think the same goes for the 95 MR2 turbo and 94-98 Supra, nsx etc. Thanks again everyone for the compliments.
