Oh, the wheels on the GT-R are 20s. The wheel plastic was removed by someone before the dealer.

And, my car is faster now with the slick coat of Zaino

John, great to see you on this site, it is one of the best sites to learn about proper detailing.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll see you soon to take care of the rest of your cars.

There actually is a new car dealer that listens!!

Thanks, well it did take a little convincing but the dealer ended up giving in. They wanted to prep it themselves, I'm glad the owner talked them out of it.

Awesome detail, these pics are great. You really did an amazing job with this car and avoided everything that would harm the vehicle. Once again, great detail.. I've seen some of your work on other forums, good stuff.

Great work Josh! If the dealer was smart, they would have watched and learned from you how to do a proper new car prep. Did you notice any contaminants on your clay bar from the body panels what were plastic wrapped? Also, did you ever consider polishing to improve the finish or was it as good as it was going to get?

David, I did inspect the paint and came to the conclusion that it really just didn't need any polishing (to my surprise), possible a good AIO cleanser before sealing, but not any corrective polishing.

Yes the clay did take off alot of contamination from every panel of the car even under the plastic. I'm not sure at what point they put the plastics on the panels whether it's before they ship it over seas or after but it had a whole lot of contamination on every panel including the side panels.

So where are those pics!? Can you send email full size versions as well? Thanks!

So here are the pics some 6-7 weeks after the intial prep work.

The owner has washed it a handful of times at least.

All I did on this trip was to rewash it, Z6 wipe down and a ZCS topping with Z8 on the rims and Meg's Hypershine on the tires.

Finally got some good sun pics (first time it rained cats and dogs) and I was totally surprised to see the amount of gloss, reflections and clearity in this metalic paint.

So here you go in no certain order.....

This is the nickname of the GT-R btw.
