Auto Detailing: Nissan GT-R

[anson89]

Hey guys, I'm new to Autopia and I was looking around the site and found out that there's so many products to choose from! I'm gonna start listing down the tools I have and perhaps someone can help me upgrade/recommend me some stuff from here! But first, I'm gonna show you my work!



So I started this auto detailing as a side job/hobby. Who would've known my first job would be one of my favorite, if not, dream car - the beastly Nissan GT-R.



Car had a lot of moderate to minor swirls. Lots of left over watermarks. After the detail, the owner did not recognize his own car and is giving me a whole bunch of other cars to detail.



Total work hours = 14



Here she is!

Light swirls + leftover watermarks

Leftover polish/wax from previous detailer

Brother foaming it down with the foam gun

After Menzerna SIP

After Menzerna FP

Wiping off the sealant and then letting it bond with the coat for 24 hours. I need a wash on my IS-F as well

Good stuff

Your in the same boat as me, when it comes to limited products, I usually dont buy anything until I run out of it

Look very good, great job! On cars with spoilers you may want to tape the edge of the spoiler when doing the trunk to prevent scratching it accidently with the side of the machine.
