This was my first GTR, and it came in red. These cars have been on my hit list for a while and I finally got the opportunity to take one on. The car was in decent shape, (except the wheels) just a lot of marring in the paint from the notorious soft GTR paint.



The Process



Wash

Washed with 2BM with AM Wax and Wax and uber sponge

Wheels got AG CWC (x5) and still didn’t some out perfects, the dust had eaten into the coating, thanks to the brembos

Dried with ww towel

Tires got 3D tire gel



The Engine

The engine was cleaned with AM 777 and left factory clean, no dressing



The Interior

AM 777 and Carpet and Upholstery cleaner

Rigid propak

Aztec Hot Rod

And lots of brushes

Jambs got AM Magic Mist



The Correction

Corrected everything but the bumpers with a PC XP and Menz 203 on a green GI pad

The bumper were done with a green 3 inch gi and Menz 203

Cleaned the surface with aquasol

Lots of cookie monsters



The PC worked a lot slower than using a rotary but I had heard the paint sucked on these so I opted for my new PC



The glass saw Sprayway



The LSP for the day was Worlds Best Wax Collector Series

I had a few more pics but my computer died at home along with the software to blank out the plates
