08 nissan gt-r correction

Completed this morning 11-22-2010, this car is completely wrapped in clearfilm sans the decklid & wing.

The car has seen duty as a "Dad/momobile.............. pretty cool way for the kids to go to school I would think, thus there was quite a bit of cleaning required to get the car back to the shape the owner wanted.

At the start of the job.



Dry trim.



Just a bit of wax in the leading edges............. all the seams of the film would have a "Wax coating" (lol).





Lovely....................tree sap on the film "Not good".





Interior needed some help.



Yes more wax.....................



One last pic of the "Wax build up".



I was under a time crunch as I have a mobile job going at the same time so thin on the pics.





Customer did not request the engine bay cleaned, but I had to do it.









The evidence of "Children" in the backseat of a "Supercar".



Trunk area in need of attention.



Looking better.

 

Evidence of "Little one's" is gone...............









A few sun pics, even though the sun was not to strong out today.

 

wow your work is perfect time after time. car looks great, that would be a awsome way to go to school. interior looks great. what ever you use on the leather is perfect, nice look and not shiny or to fake looking.

 

yes plenty of evidence of crunched school driveways on that front lip

so you "corrected" the clear bra with an abbrassive polish?

 

Hit it with "800 grit" sand paper first though, then 3M XTRACUT!!!!!!!!!!! for the win.:shakehead:

 

Awesome job!

What leather cleaner did you use? Also, what was your method on removing the old/dried up wax?

 

For the leather that will be not be shared, but "Tarminator" works great on rubber ,plastic trim to remove dirt/old wax etc....

 

give poorboys leather stuff a shot, ive tried alot of different cleaner/conditioner combos in the past on different leathers (italian, german nappa, japanese tough leather) and found that to give the most matt finish

dont use it on the steeringwheel though, use a cleaner only - the duragloss cleaner works well and very cost effective

 

Great job as usual Bob. I'm guessing you weren't the guy that waxed it last time.

 

so domino when are you sending your kids to school in your GTR cuz clearly someone is ahead of you

 

Thanks domino, I will give it a shot!

I currently use Adams Leather and Interior and Leather Masters Cleaners.

 

Nice work for sure. I never knew that there was even back seats in the GT-R's. Interior really needed help but turned out well.

Tarminator is bad ass stuff. A little goes a very long way.

 

Amazing job it was in dire need of some attention.

 

Domino,

Yes you can use even compounds on clearfilm, just not asvised with a rotary. As for the leather cleaning I do utilize Leather Masters from time to time(not on this job) but I have never used Poorboys leather even though I have under the CG label which is the same product and does work nicely.

 

I thought you only worked on perfect supercars?


Excellent work! I LOVE to see a car, regardless of type, used exactly the way an owner wishes to use it.

 

hahaha im still in my 20s........that'll be in a loooooong time

 

Geez Bob, you need to learn how to park! (look at the white ford pickup in the last pic) :

Excellent work as usual.

 

Love it, nice work!

 

ive only ever clear bra'd side skirts on all my cars, and then only ever used a paint cleaner

i wouldnt mind correcting them though as after a detail out in the sun i can see a slight difference in clarity between the skirts and lower body - and the same reason ive only clear bra'd skirts and not full panels

thanks for the tip

i didnt get good cleaning results from aio leather products on the white nappa leather in my M3 or in dad's euro cars, but the leather in the GTR isnt anywhere near the same high quality grain, and as such the pb works really well in maintaining a matt black soft finish

 

great job
