Black GT-R extensive correction by Immaculate Reflections

[gofast908z]

This black GT-R came in for an extensive correction. The soft GT-R paint presented its own challenges, but with the right tools and products, a high level of correction was achieved. The better part of 2 days was spent getting the car to look its best.



Correction process:
-Makita Rotary, LC PFW, Megs bp, M105
-PCXP, LC orange, Menz SIP
-PCXP, LC black, Menz 85RD


As it arrived






Tips would require some good polishing












Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner to make the wheels and brake calipers look amazing again.









Much better now






Pre-wash foaming to soften the dirt before washing






Swirls












After compounding, final polishing to be carried out later








Corrected (specs are just some polishing dust)





















Tail lights need corrective work as well

The door jambs and trunk jambs also got attention and were sealed for protection and ease of cleaning.












For the clear film wrap on the front end of the car....










LSP choice for this car was Blackfire Wet Diamond






A little prep spray on the applicator








Allowing it to cure overnight for the best results








Finished pictures in the sun





























Remember the rough looking exhaust tips?

Right side

Nice car! Nice job! Black is always so rewarding.

You mentioned the clear being soft, I suppose it's safe to compare it to a 370Z? I had similar finicky issues I suppose with a Nissan I corrected last year. Haven't had the pleasure of doing a GT-R yet.

That Godzilla definitely has some Immaculate Reflections! Simply amazing work!

That came in hammered and went out amazing!

Looks terrific in the afters!

Every GTR I've done has started off in the before condition in this thread, what's the deal with GTRs always being hammered?

Looks stellar! Here's hoping the owner doesn't turn around and trash it again.

Huge save Jeff! These things really always do look destroyed to start out.

I hear you Scott. They're always in need of serious correction work, including all the ones that we've done. Great work Jeff, car looks awesome!
