Hey guys, this isn't my first post here but first in a while!
One of my friends wanted to get his GTR to near-mint condition after being abused by some car washes and crappy "detailers" from the previous owner. After talking with him, he didn't want to go "all out" with ceramic coatings, he just wanted everything sealed and properly polished, so that's what i gave him!
While this video doesn't have any "Before and afters", I really made it for all of my customers, so they know me on a more personal level, and trust me fully doing their "high end" vehicles.
So basically here's how it went: Did an assessment on the car and concluded that in order to get it to where the owner would like, every nook and crenny had to be polished and protected. So that's exactly what i did.
Washed the car and looked at it with the LED's and noticed that someone previously had clay barred it with one of those "clay bar towels" (i could see the marks it left)
Since i've had plenty of previous experience with GTR's and Nissan paint, i knew it wasn't hard to correct.
So i went with one of my favorite combos on light colored cars:
Megs M205 on a MF cutting disc
Megs 21 2.0 Sealant
For all the little tiny places that buffers dont like to reach, i break out my 2" orbital with a foam polishing pad.
Wheels were also coated with 21 sealant
Tires dressed with Megs Pro line Tire and Trim Gel (Love that stuff)
I also use various tools here and there. But here are some pics of some of the finer details! Video is at the end, and you'll be glad you watched it :)
