2010 Nissan GTR Finish Restoration

[autoconcierge]

Recent job completed in the shop, the vehicle had low miles (Just over 3K) but the finish was in awful condition due to repeated automated washes.



Before wash/decon steps.

GTR`s do not like rotary correction, so had to go slower in the initial compounding steps.



http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp172/autoconcierge/Lomele%20Lexus/Lopez%20GTR%2010-7-11/035.jpg





The wheels were also victims of the "Tunnelwash" deep marring on all the spokes.

Engine was not bad, so light wipedown and dressing to complete the look.



http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp172/autoconcierge/Lomele%20Lexus/Lopez%20GTR%2010-7-11/046.jpg





Even the license plate frame was marred and had water spots.



http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp172/autoconcierge/Lomele%20Lexus/Lopez%20GTR%2010-7-11/048.jpg

amazing work as usual Bob :drool:



But I must say you work area always impresses me the most. Having that lift in the middle must make everything so much easier than bending down low to get the rockers/side skirt like areas. Very jealous.

[Thomas Dekany]

Awoseme work Bob! I guess you like the look of NS :)

[Brad B]

Looks great! What a huge improvement.

The car looked MUCH better in person, jetness of color is there in abundance(As I give credit where credit is due) pics tell the story for me.

[mikenap]

It`s hard coming up with new things to say about your work Bob, so I`ll just say great job. Nice save, and incredible afters, especially sun shots. That NS looks unbelievable on red!

[gmblack3]

Great work as always Bob! Is the red on the GTR as much as a PITA as the black is?

[Fast Eddie]

Wow Bob, that GTR was hammered, great turnaround to say the least.

[RaskyR1]

Awesome work Bob! The front pillar looked like it had some buffer trails in it too, no?





You set the owner up on a maintenance plan? ...I`d shoot him if he went to the tunnel wash again! :bat

[SpoolinNoMore]

Glad to see one of my *practical* dream cars is getting proper attention and care :clap2:

[Ch96067]

Stunning work! Hugely effective 50/50s.



What did you use on the tyres? They look incredibly black but not oily, which is great.



How long did all polishing steps take if I may?

I used 303 Protectant on the tires and the paint correction was roughly 28 hours.

Bob,



Outstanding works as always man. Your attention to detail is still second to none. Looks incredible.
