DESCRIPTION
This FD RX7 was bought a few months ago by a long time client who’s become a very good friend. He was on the hunt for quite a while for the right one and he snapped this one up because of its relatively few mods and near original spec.
As you’d expect the paint was rough, needing some decent decontamination to get smooth again, and there was also a decent level of swirls, water spots, and hazing to contend with. As well as some texture to minimise here and there on some re-finished areas

Befores and afters. It was clear that the car hadn't had a decent detail for a very long time.
There were a couple of these areas on the car that looked almost like scourer marks. They took a little work to get out but I managed to shift them
A good example of the general haze across the whole car that impeded the clarity and view of the metallic paint a fair bit. The car overall looked washed out as a result.

Another of those "scourer" marks
The bonnet took several hours and multiple stages to get it to the point I was happy with it. I felt less like a detailer and more like an archaeologist, digging through years of damage to get to the good stuff underneath
Evidence of a previous partial detail at some stage with buffer trails on the guards. Most likely as a result of some refinishing work
Very bad etching on the bonnet. Knowing I had good paint levels and the current owner was never going to let it get this way again I was able to be more aggressive than I normally would and chased them out completely.
