Awesome new car prep. I am getting my GT-R in about 10 days. Red with Grey leather. I will prep the car basically like you. No way will the dealer touch my baby.

I am member on NAGTROC, and Ive told everyone there how important new car detailing is. I posted links of MOE's work from 6speed on to NAGTROC. So I guess indirectly the business came to you! The world really is small.

Hey, Josh. First off, fantastic work on an amazing car. Question for you: Did you happen to give the owner a quick "how to" on how to keep that car looking great?

[MobileJay]

Sick car, nice work

[Mindflux]

I didn't see you mention it, so I'll ask.

Did you clay without rinsing the soapy/dirty water off the car? To me seems like too much additional risk involved that way especially forgoing a polishing step.

WOW Josh! That car looks amazing......

You look pretty happy working on that one.

I have heard that these are insanely fast.

Gorgeous car and nice detail man

Is it me or does the center grill GTR emblem look crooked?

very nice work!

Nice work as always, Josh.

Did the customer have you do the work prior to pick-up or was it the dealer? If it was the dealer, that is impressive that they would recognize a special car needs something more than a quickie clean-up by their own people.

I hope the owner (if it is the same car mentioned this week in the automotive section of the Dallas Morning News, his name is also Josh) doesn't experience any transmission problems-although I think the problems are mostly limited to early VIN Japanese market GTRs.

Sweet job Josh! When I did one car at a dealership, the regular detail guys were very jealous...did you get this sort of treatment as well? Also, was this the $3000 super silver color?

I wouldn't be surprised if the dealership prep took their dirty cars and just wiped them down after that crazy rain shower.

Yeah, I am wondering this as well. I figure this is the best car that dealership has probably seen. Their regular crew might have been mad that a master detailer was called in to work on it.

Excellent work as always.

Thanks, it's definately important for them to get a healthy start.

I'm curious why you chose Z5 instead of Z2Pro? It looks fantastic covered in Z5 but would Z2 offer a little more shine and sparkle? Don't get me wrong, it looks absolutely fantastic and you worked on the car and were best suited to determine the LSP.

Thanks, I honestly don't think using Z2pro would make a noticable difference on this light colored metallic paint.

Thanks, glad I could help. Good luck on it, I'm sure yours will turn out awesome too.
