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.

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