Default 600hp 2010 Black Nissan GTR by Tru Shine


This 2010 Nissan GTR was from a referral from one of my other clients. This Customer had just bought this car a couple of months ago and recieved the car in this condition. This car was origanally saposed to be a wash and wax, but after explaining to the customer what potential this car had, we then decided to go for the paint correction. This car was scheduled for a 75%-90% correction.


Let's get this started, here is the car when I arrived


(notice all the wax residue on the edge of the clear bra)














First I degreased the tires using Megs Super degreaser



Then I applied Sonax Full Effect to the wheels





I used the wheel woolie to get into the wheels for a good cleaning.







Next is the pre-rinse to knock off any heavy/loose debris



Then I give the car a foam bath.





Then the car was brought in and clayed using Claymagic blue fine clay



Next I taped up all the plastic trim and edges of the clear bra



here are a few of the before shots











Here is a 50/50 shot after cutting the paint with a M105/D300 mixture and Surbuff pad on the Griot's 6in DA.



Notice that there is a slight haze left on the surface, this will be removed during the polishing/refinment stage.



here is a 50/50 of the hood







This is a before picture of the Garage door light reflecting in the roof of the car.



this is after



Whole different shade of black!







The car was finished down with Menzerna 85RD on a LC Crimson pad, then the paint was sealed with one coat of Black Fire Wet Diamond.

The Rain was comming and the sun was hiding so these final pics will have to do.















Thanks for viewing have a blessed day

Nice save on that one! It looks as if the car had regular washes with a brillo pad... What's going on with the clear bra on that one? Most cars the clear bra is unnoticed, but on this GTR it is very noticeable... Bad application? Can any corrections be made on the clear bra?
