R32 Skyline GT-R

[Mad iX]

Friend just imported it for track purposes.

As with all imports, it was a mess. Fresh off the boat and I had to deal with it.

Dirrrty (and ugly).

I was told "most of the paint's ok, just on the spoiler it's a bit iffy".

Once I saw it I knew my weekend was gone. Badly oxidised and no depth or clarity.

"iffy" = CC failure.

Not much better here.

Washed and clayed. Into the garage to get started ...

OHC on Green Edge pad w/ Rotary followed with OP on White Edge pad w/ Rotary

Menzerna PO73CP w/ Rotex

Another shot.

One more in the garage.

Sun!

Final shot. Hood in the sun. LSP was Optimum Car Wax.

Stunning car and that paint, whoa!

 

[OCD Nick]

How long did you leave the EO on for?

 

[Scottwax]

Amazing improvement! I had no idea the paint was metallic until the final shots! :up

That is a hot car, with a very hot color. =) Nice job!

Nice job...these Skyline's must be an acquired taste...I really just don't see what is so special about these cars.

The GTR's have quite an advanced AWD platform.. They are plenty capable in the twists'

Road course, canyon carving, anything with turns I guess.
