Scratch on my Supra! ...And pictures of me repairing it using "Quixx". (Review).

[Suitcase Jefferson]

Hello all,

I've recently joined this very helpful community and met lots of friendly and knowledgeable people.

I Love driving my Supra, but hate how I discovered a scratch on it!

So I went researching online and found a quick fix: "Quixx" paint-scratch repair -- it's so classy that they sell it at Canadian Tire! [sic].

56k warning:

So here is the process of me fixing the scratch:

Here I am with the tools of the trade: A bowl of warm water, some paper-towel, dish soap, Quixx-paint-scratch-remover, and of course José Cuervo tequila!

So with tools in hand, I approached my covered vehicle.. (Cover on it, 'cause my Garage is only large enough to house on vehicle -- my Father''s suped-up 2003 PT Cruiser ((This thing scary, believe-you-me)).

The scratch...

The scratch with the silly paste on it (I used up the entire tube...)

The scratch after. The paint-chip/dent is still there, but the scratch is basically gone.

I spent around $14.00 on the supplies. Would I reccomend this?

Well, that depends. If you have a light scratch, the yes. But if you have a paint-chip or divet, look for more professional work. (Even though the kit came with fine sanding-paper). Don't trust this product for serious work.

Let me get this straight...........You wash the double shot glass with Palmolive, and fill with Jose`. Drain, Repeat, and the lower picture is what you will see????????

Seriously, that looks like it's worth every bit of $14, and then some. Thanks for the product suggestion.

Exactly! You must be a mind-reader!

I wish the last pic was at the same angle as the first; but, yeah....that looks great!

Thanks for the write-up.

When my father returns from his province-wide trip, I'll get some pictures.

It's not altered in any way on the exterior, or interior. It's what's under the hood that's scary.

I'll get the list of upgrades from him that he had installed.

Sorry for the long wait, my Father was out cruising around in the Rockies.

He didn't want me to take any pictures of it from the outside - it's pretty dirty. ;P Says he's going to clean it sometime soon!

But I did get a few snaps of the engine bay... dang these cars are compact!

You can see the "Freedom Design" front sway bar... he also has a tower-strut in the back too.

I asked him what he had done to the car:

-Hotplugs and Wires
-Stage 1 Turbo
-Custom modified airbox
-3" intake/outtake to/from turbo
-K&N Air filter
-Single Cat-back exhaust "Borla"
-Custom suspension (I think he had stiffer springs installed)
-Blow-off valve... when you depress the gas, you can hear a loud "Tssss!" sound. It's awesome. ;P

Nobody suspects a PT Cruiser. It's the ultimate sleeper. He has done nothing to the exterior save for new rims. (Summer + winter tires). He even says he wants to take off the "Turbo" badge. ;P

Will get some exterior pictures (and maybe even a video!) when the car gets cleaned, lol.

that scratch stuff looks good, my white package has all kinds of scratches on it...

 

[Suitcase Jefferson]

Lmao!

Nah, it's not as pimp as that. I will try, however, to get a video of him squealing his tires sometime -- although it's going to sound strange with studs in them.
