    Hi guys,

    Im no professional detailer by any means, but I enthusiastically detail my own cars. Saves me money so I can afford my cars!!!(haaha) I love to try all the great brands out there. Currently, Prima is the major basis of my aresenal.

    Products used:
    Prima Mystique auto wash
    Bilt Hamber soft clay w/ Griots speed shine
    Wurth clean solve
    Prima Clarity
    Prima Amigo
    Prima Epic
    I have a new jar of Rubbish Boys O/E that I have to try
    Uber Towels

    Interior:
    Z-10 leather in a bottle
    DP Interior protectant
    303 Fabric Guard
    Meguiars interior detailer

    Wheels/tires:
    Diluted Optimum Power Clean
    Zaino Clay w/Meguiars quick detailer
    DP Wheel glaze
    EO wax as you dry
    Surf City Beyond Black tire gel
    Various brushes

    Exhaust tips:
    EO Nano Polish

    Even though the car is brand new, it sat at the Jacksonville port for 2 weeks before being delivered. And who knows how long it was out on the sea vessel. I asked the dealer to keep all the plastic protection left on the GT-R. It took me about 10 hours to detail.

    Here are the pics! please excuse for the lack of quality. I have a cheap Polaroid digital.

    Nice GTR! Wish I could afford one right now!

    I'll just wait a few years so all the kinks (although probably near to none) are worked out, hehe.

    Awesome job on an awesome car! Oh and when you put that coat of Rubbish Boys OE on it be prepared to have your socks knocked completely freakin' off!!! I really want you to post a pic after applying that because OE looks stunning on red! Oh and I was digging the garage until I saw the star on the fridge...dude you lost me there - GO STEELERS!

    Think many people forget how important it is to so protect the paint on a new car.

    Nice job.
