    2003 Nissan 350Z Drift Beaten Detail - Oakes Detail

    A 2003 Nissan 350Z Track edition that has been prepped...and previously used, for drifiting came through the shop as a recent acquisition. The vehicle had been severely neglected and certainly a little banged up, but a good bit of life was left and wanted to be revived. This is certainly a dramatic transformation and one of the grimier cars that I have worked on lately.

    Products used: All of them.

    Car as it arrived, no recollection on the last time the vehicle was so much washed, let alone detailed:






    Wheels Before:




    After:




    Paint Condition Before, after Three hours of prep and Two clay passes:





    Progress photos and 50/50 shots:














    Reflection/Gloss photos:






    Finished Whole Vehicle photos:









    Thanks for checking out this Red 350z, feedback always appreciated!

    Nice job man!! Love the look of the shop with all the stacks of towels and chemicals all lined up on the shelves. I bet the owner didn't even recognize it when they came to pick it up! Haha.

    Good job on the 350z! Were those exhaust tips a PITA to work with?
