A thorough Dawn wash and clay bar should do the trick....or so I think.
First I start off with the rims.
I scrub out the tires and wheel wells with a long handled soft bristled brush. (sorry it's not boars hair)
Then with a completely seperate mitt I wash the outer rim.
Then I do the inner parts of the spokes.
After the outside is clean I move to the inside of the rim well with another tool.
Once the outside and inside are complete I finish it off with the inner part of the lug nuts.
You might think on a brand new car this isn't neccessary, but believe me you it was very much neccessary.
Now onto the paint. I will Dawn wash and clay every inch of the car including the glass.
This is a pic of me washing the hood.
This is a pic of me claybaring the hood while still wet.
This is the only shot I took of the clay but evey panel was heavily contaminated even the side panels to my surprise.
This is just after the spoiler alone.
So I prerinsed, washed, clayed, rerinsed and dried the car with a leaf blower, then give it a quick Zaino Z6 wipe down to avoid any water spots.
After washing and claying the car was smooth again but we had one small problem.
It looks as if rust had dripped onto the paint on an area above the door that Nissan did not put plastic on and had slightly etched into the clear. I assume this is from the lengthy journey accross the ocean or possible from the long wait at the coast.
After washing and claying the spots did not come out, so I tried some Goo Gone and rubbed it for quite a while and it seemed to do the trick well enough.
Okay, so now that the GTR has the plastic removed, it's been washed, clayed, dried, Z6 wipe down it's time to get out my goo gone and get up all the left over advesive from the plastic. (sorry I did not document this step)
