2010 Nissan GTR Finish Restoration
Recent job completed in the shop, the vehicle had low miles (Just over 3K) but the finish was in awful condition due to repeated automated washes.
Before wash/decon steps.
During wash...........LSP present.
LSP stripped off.
First set of 50/50 shots.
Reverse angle.
"A" Pillar 50/50 pic.
Entire "A" pillar corrected with compounding step and medium polishing, not fine polished yet.
Wing was badly marred.
Rear trunk with deep RIDS and marring.
Readings after heavy correction on the left side of the trunk.
Rids and marring removed by levelling the finish.

GTR's do not like rotary correction, so had to go slower in the initial compounding steps.
The wheels were also victims of the "Tunnelwash" deep marring on all the spokes.
Marring removed.
Dirty exhaust tips.
"Cleaness'.
Engine was not bad, so light wipedown and dressing to complete the look.
Even the license plate frame was marred and had water spots.
Finish on the frame corrected.
Nearing completion.
