Wheels Complete.


Engine

The engine bay just needed a light cleaning, finished with 303 Aerospace Protectant.


Exhaust Pipes & Prep

Exhaust Before.


After using Chemical Guys #2 Metal Polish.


The owner decided he did not care for the black vinyl on the wing, so it was removed.


He also decided to ditch the Nissan badge on the trunk lid.


With a little prying using fishing line and heat gun, the badge was removed safely.


The remaining double side tape was removed using a 3M Pinstripe Removal Wheel.


Paint Correction

Irony. This GTR had incredibly soft paint, I'd hate to find out what Nissan paint engineers classify as a "soft" clearcoat!


Front fender Before.


After First Stage of Compounding. The gouge in the paint is still slightly noticeably under the direct halogen lighting, but you would have a hard time ever seeing it if you didnt know it was there. Even the owner had a hard time finding it and it was one of his main concerns with the correction. I call that success!


After applying two coats of BFWD Paint Sealant.(notice previous gouge is hardly visible)


Drivers Side Door Before.


If you look closely, there is some slight hazing, possibly from a previous detail.
