On Wednesday we had our first Mothers Demo Day for 2012. Four cars were booked in: Peter’s RX7, Nick’s S13 Silvia, Scott’s Ma70 Supra and Albert’s DC2R Integra. The day was slow to start with the horrendous Sydney CBD 9am traffic, everyone was late! Scott missed the traffic and was first in followed by George from Mothers, Nick, Peter and finally Albert.
With only four cars this time round George (with the help of James also from Mothers) had more time dedicated to each car.
Scott and George eager to start the day.
Scott’s MA70 Supra.
Nick’s s13.
Peter’s Series 8 Rx-7.
Albert from Cars For Hope dropped in as well.
Plenty of Mothers polishes, waxes and cleaners for everyone.
First off was Scott’s Ma70 Supra. Being a 20+ year old car, the paint had seen better days, but George had a couple of ideas to at least give the paint one last huh-rah.
Light scratches top right, and some heavy deep scratches middle left.
We used Mothers clay bar, Pre-wax cleaner and a pro buff (by George) to bring the paint up and remove some of the deep scratching. Then Mothers Sealer Glaze and finally Mothers Carnuaba waxed to protect the paint.

Check out the shine!
Nick’s S13 also got Clay Bar, Pre-wax cleaner, Sealer and Glaze and a pro buff treatment.

Residue leftover from having a magnetic P-plate in the same place, was no match for Mothers Scratch Remover
The DC2R’s paint work was generally in good shape, but it too needed clay baring and waxing.
When you get a mixture of light scratches and water spotting, its time to call and expert! Pete’s Rx-7 got the full treatment.
Clay bar First.
Dirt, grime, bits of dead bugs and exhaust fumes, its all in there!

All gone and mirror flat finish.
Next we used Mothers Reflections Top Coat specially designed for black cars. This gives the black extra depth. Applying it with the Wax Attack makes for easy work.
All done.
Its all in the details. A clean glossy body wouldn’t look right with some old scratched up rear tail lights.
Mothers Headlight Restoration was used to bring life back into those sexy rear RX-7 series 8 Tail lights.
A final wipe down with a Micro Fibre cloth just case we missed any spots.
Outside in the sun, the black is amazing!
After a hard morning of buffing, waxing and polishing the results speaks for themselves
Big thank you to the guys who came out and spent the morning with us. George and James from Mothers did a fantastic job helping everyone out and sharing their infinite knowledge on car care and paint work.
