Thanks, to my surprise the paint was near perfect, only one small blemish at the top of the hood near the windshield.

I requested the owner not let the dealership even touch it and I`m glad he didn`t cause while I was preping the GTR I watched as their people brought back a half dozen cars and scrubbed them down with a brush and dirty water without even soaking them first, then just ran them through the auto wash....

I love to see them start off on the right foot. Great job, and nice documentation.

Stunning car and stellar work. Congrats on having that unique opportunity.

I`m curious why you chose Z5 instead of Z2Pro? It looks fantastic covered in Z5 but would Z2 offer a little more shine and sparkle? Don`t get me wrong, it looks absolutely fantastic and you worked on the car and were best suited to determine the LSP.

Awesome job Josh. I have a client that has a black one on order. Your write up gave me a few tips. I`m hoping to beat Todd to the punch

Beautiful car! You did it justice. I`ve been waiting to see someone here work on one.

Awesome new car prep. I am getting my GT-R in about 10 days. Red with Grey leather. I will prep the car basically like you. No way will the dealer touch my baby.

I am member on NAGTROC, and Ive told everyone there how important new car detailing is. I posted links of MOE`s work from 6speed on to NAGTROC. So I guess indirectly the business came to you! The world really is small.:hifive:

Hey, Josh. First off, fantastic work on an amazing car. Question for you: Did you happen to give the owner a quick "how to" on how to keep that car looking great?

**Mobilejay** · 08-18-2008, 10:21 AM

Sick car, nice work

**Mindflux** · 08-18-2008, 10:40 AM

I didn`t see you mention it, so I`ll ask.

Did you clay without rinsing the soapy/dirty water off the car? To me seems like too much additional risk involved that way especially forgoing a polishing step.

**imported_rydawg** · 08-18-2008, 11:24 AM

WOW Josh! That car looks amazing......

You look pretty happy working on that one.

I have heard that these are insanely fast.

Gorgeous car and nice detail man :goodjob

Is it me or does the center grill GTR emblem look crooked?

**Old Pirate** · 08-18-2008, 01:28 PM

Stunning car and prep Josh!.......Awesome looking.....

**DetailersDomain** · 08-18-2008, 02:29 PM

very nice work!

Nice work as always, Josh. :up

Did the customer have you do the work prior to pick-up or was it the dealer? If it was the dealer, that is impressive that they would recognize a special car needs something more than a quickie clean-up by their own people.

I hope the owner (if it is the same car mentioned this week in the automotive section of the Dallas Morning News, his name is also Josh) doesn`t experience any transmission problems-although I think the problems are mostly limited to early VIN Japanese market GTRs.
