2009 Nissan GT-R Gun Metallic

[gmblack3]

Nothing better then working for a great client. After I arrived at 7:30am, he was kind enough to grab me a nice pastry when he went out for coffee. It was also very thoughtful of him to pick me up some lunch in the afternoon.



This was the first GT-R delivered in Atlanta. It is approx 2 months new and has about 2k miles.



I must admit the dealership did a pretty good job prepping this one. I`d say it was 90% defect free. :faint:



Process:



Rinse paint and wheels with pressure washer at a safe distance.

Apply P21s wheel cleaning gel to wheels and let dwell.

Wash paint with ABC ValuGard Neutralization System.

Thorough rinse.

Clean wheels with various brushes.

Clean tires and wells with AM 777 APC.

Rinse everything.

Clay paint w/ zaino clay and Z6 50/50 water as lube.

Rinse again.

Dry with pak shak quality MFs.

Removed adhesive from a few areas with 3M adhesive remover.



Polished paint with ZPC/green CCS foam/PC



The client has noted an area where the clear had a "step" in it from the shipping plastic. So this would need wetsanded out.

I wetsanded the area with unigrit 3000 paper.

I then polished out the area with:



Presta 1500/edge green wool/1500

SIP/Green CCS foam/1500

ZPC/Green CCS foam/PC

Owner and myself inspected the area for 5 mins under different lighting sources to ensure that the step was gone and no sanding traces remained.



I then wiped the car down with Z6.



Applied 2x of Z2pro with ZFX to the paint/glass.



Went over the wheels with ZAIO by hand, then applied 2x of Z2pro to the wheels. Tires got Z-16.



Paint, glass and wheels got Z8.



Client requested that I treat the leather on the interior. So it received zaino Z9/10 on all leather surfaces.



Time spent 8 hours.

Great job with the sanding Bryan. The car looks amazing, a perfect color for Zaino IMO, and a great job by you. Those cars are so cool, it`s not even funny IMO.

Thanks Todd! As you told me, the car quickly grows on you once you see it in person.

Thanks Denzil. I got 10 rolls of it off of ebay last year. It`s called flash breaker tape and used during composite repairs. I have not seen any one ebay since. :(
