Anyone Want To See Another GT-R (white pearl) Fresh Off The Truck..

Hey everyone, I consider myself fortunate and blessed to be able to have some of the finest clientele in Dallas TX and I continue to work hard to earn their trust.

I got a call the other day on a new GT-R in White Pearl to basically do the same process as I did on the other one a week ago that I did a write up on.

Unfortunately on this one the dealership had already taken all the plastics off the exterior and the interior so I won't be able to document all that but thankfully they had not washed it yet.

My basic process was to completely decontaminate the exterior inspect it for defects (polish if needed) and seal it as well as condition the interior.

I had sunlight this time so I fully inspected the condition of the paint in the sunlight and to no surprise it was in tip top shape with no defects as the last one had with the dripping rust spot.

Process in a nut shell:

Two bucket wash including rims, wells and everything inbetween
Clay all the contamination including glass
Dry with high velocity blower
Inspect paint condition in sunlight
Wipe down engine bay
Remove adhesive residue from paint where plastic was on
Cleanse paint and glass with Zaino ZAIO
Seal paint, door jambs and other painted areas with Z5
Seal rims with ZAIO
Treat tires with Meg's Hyper Shine 2.5:1 ratio wiped on with applicator
Clean exhaust with Blue Magic Metal Polish
Remove window sticker and other stickers
Remove adhesive residue from windows with goo gone
Dust interior
Vacuum seats and carpets
Install new matts
Condition leathers, doors, dash and steering wheel with Z10
Z8 wipe down of everything

Pull out and take pics....

Sorry but all I have are the final results, no process shots but I think you'll like them just the same.

Here's just a couple shots of the car finished in the bay at the dealership where the owner had me detail the car.

I think this color combo is just plain sexy.











You can see here that the paint is flawless as well as the beautful white pearl color.





Now for some interior shots



















More pics to come

I know this was more of a picture thread then a documented write up so please forgive the lack of specifics as well as instructions but I hope you enjoyed it just the same.

Great job Josh. I have a full correct (this Sunday) and will take some pictures tomorrow for a little bit of a teaser. I might have to go Bella Firma on it.

Nice one Josh!

It seems like everyone I talk to lately is doing one of these cars. I want to do a full correction on one.

I'm jealous!

Sorry guys, I only prep'd the white one. This is my second one in a row I've actually detailed at the dealership but for the owners.....

I have a black one scheduled but not sure when it will happen since it's an out of town client.

You're jealous??? more like me being jealous of all the cars you've been doing lately. You and Todd are like my inspiration, you guys both constantly challenge me to step up my game.

Anyways, thanks for the kind words guys.
