This GT-R needed more than just a Silver package. But was constrain on time since the car was going out on a video shoot that afternoon.

Lets check out the wheels and tires first...





After some of our Engine & Wheel cleaner with ACE TurboStick, it came out like new!


Tips definitely needed some work...


Bunch bird droppings...




Some paint got on the body and someone tagged the rear window with some gold paint...


That's pretty much gone...


Holy SWIRL



Did a quick wet sanding....


Rinse the wheels one more time before the wash...


Everybody love foam!





compress air...


jams...


Clay was pretty bad and probably could have used another session or so of the clay... but again, press on time...



Close close up look after the clay...




Had to go with the G-1500 on some spots then the entire car with G-2500...



Single pass on G-1500 and G-2500... Pretty good, but not perfect, and knew that was going to happen...



Off to the last polish and wax...


Cleaning up the windows...


Final indoor inspection before the outdoor inspection...


Pretty nice day out... So some outdoor pics...

I'm surprised they let that car get that out of hand in the first place. Looks purdy now.
