Auto Finesse - The Big RX7 transformation detail

Follow along as we set about turning back the hands of time on this stunning Mazda RX7 at the Auto Finesse Detailing Academy.
Doing it with a little Finesse...
For this job we’d need an example that has seen plenty of abuse and not a great deal of detailing.
Mark’s heavily modified FD RX-7 was the perfect candidate because not only has it seen more than its fair share of track time over the years, but this fast road weapon had also been laid up outside over winter while awaiting an engine rebuild. Due to most of the 2020 season being something of a write-off, and Mark being away shooting cars for Top Gear and Speedhunters, we thought we’d get it in for a thorough overhaul.
Of course, this may be a thoroughbred bedroom wall poster car - especially for hardcore tuner fans - but the same detailing principles apply to any example as they do transforming this pedigree Japanese modern classic.

I spent two weeks detailing my FD almost 10 years ago to this degree and it still blows people's brains it's a 1998 SVII Can we all admire that the FD RX-7 is still one of most beautiful cars from all angles and positions. I watched this start to finish. Wish there was more after takes of it. Whoever is behind the camera. Good eyes 👍

[@AutoFinesseDetailing]

They were 100% ahead of their time with the FD, thank you for watching and for the kind words of support

[@Ezzy_KB]

Jdm sports cars of this era were just beautiful to look at.

[@bludika]

i love how every inch of the car is detailed, not a spot missed, probably looks cleaner than the day the car was purchased

[@Adam151082]

I love how you guys take the lights and spoilers off and even go as far as replacing parts 👌🏼

Obviously send me a contact number or somewhere more private I can message in terms of a FB page etc and we’ll go from there if that’s a possibility !

I basically watched 12 minutes of dudes loving on a car. It was awesome and I loved it. Superb work gentlemen. True masters of their craft.

[@robinyan7023]

Usually I will watch until the end before I give a like but for this one my like came right after when you guys detail the light bulbs. Keep up the fine work mates.

Thank you! 👍

[@James-dg6xh]

So nice seeing each episode focusing on one car. Not like others bouncing from car to car and can't really see anything done in detail to any one car. Great work on the cars and attention to detail. Very refreshing. Thanks for the great videos.

[@RAPIDNISMO]

Here from the December issue of TOP GEAR MAGAZINE, absolutely butiful car, insane transformation, taking an already good car into a perfect one, "bringing it back firm the dead", I adore the shape of the rx7, and good paint and a good clean really makes the difference, butiful work lads, absolutely BUTIFUL!
