Haven't posted photos in a while but figured you guys would enjoy a few photos of the GT-R I recently detailed...

Still working on a full write-up of the detail but here are some photos going on my website... (wasn't able to get good after sun shots and lights on white don't turn out well haha... the black pillars show the correction though)

Before:

After:

Nice! It took me a minute to figure out why the car turned black in the first few afters. LOL

Thanks Todd. Yea it wasn't in horrible shape but took some work to perfect. I have some more photos of the whole process and will edit this once I do a full write-up but figured I'd post the pics that went up on the site today.

Time spent?

Looks great Ivan. Care to share your technique for the exhaust tips?

About 11 hours for everything.

For the muffler tips, I used a terry towel with Meguiar's Mag & Aluminum polish and a lot of scrubbing. I'll update this thread with more photos and details later when I do a complete write-up, but I used Meguiar's M205 polish with a M8006 pad for the first step, then M205/9006 for the 2nd/finishing step, done with Makita rotary machine. It was a full detail, consisting of clay, polish (paint, headlights, tails), seal, interior, and engine. It was sealed with Klasse Sealant Glaze.

Oh and he's from Indiana haha so not really my/our area
