Mitsubishi 3000GT

The car had only some light swirls,except of the rear side parts that they were heavy swirled...
The process was
Clayed with Mother's clay bar,
Polished with LC polishing pad and Menzerna RD3,02 on UDM
On the heavy damaged areas Yellow 4'' pad was used and RD3,02 on UDM followed by the same polish on polishing pad
All the car had been polished again with 85RD on LC black finishing pad
ONR wash for the engine
All the engine's metal parts and rims were polished with Mother's aluminum polish and dressed with Poorboys rim wax

Poorboys Black Hole used as a glaze,
FK1000P X 1 as a sealant
RaceGlaze ''55'' carnauba wax X 1

Some before pictures

































some 50/50

Re: Mitsubishi 3000GT

Looks really good. You could go for a little icing on the cake by getting rid of those letters on your tail light lenses. I sanded mine off with a pink eraser wrapped in sandpaper then buffed it up. I started with 600 grit and worked my way up to 2000. Then buffed.

I have a 1999 Camaro and those letters were driving me crazy. Do the side marker lights too if they have the letters. I hated how the wax would get stuck in there. Now it looks like a piece of hard candy.

Re: Mitsubishi 3000GT

What a great car, nice work! Is this a VR-4 or is it just a N/A 6 cylinder?

Re: Mitsubishi 3000GT

nice work..
not so sure about the harsh angle created in the color combination by the rear bumper and 1/4 panel tho..... could use a smoother angle.. front looks great but..
