Smoke Detailed - 2009 GT-R... part 1
Subscribe
One of my good customers just picked up his 09' GT-R and called me right away for a new car prep detail, he wants his car properly polished and heavily protected before the winter snow comes here in Jersey. When he told me he got red I thought it was a bit over the top on a car that is already pretty outrageous but after seeing the car in person Red is the PERFECT color!
The car is getting a custom clear bra installed next Friday on part of the hood, fenders and rear panels and we scheduled a detail for that Saturday but the owner (being finicky about his cars) decided he wanted all the areas that were going to be clear bra'd properly polished before the clear bra was installed and then I would go back and polish the rest of the car and add the Gloss Finish protection after the bra installation.
So today I focused on polishing the areas that were going to be clear bra'd. No LSP was applied to the GT-R and only the areas listed above where polished so if you think the car looks good now wait until it has its full makeover next week!
I used the following to lightly correct the fine swirls in the paint and jewel the finish to a high gloss...
-Cyclo polisher w/ green polishing pads
-Gloss It Evolution polish
-Gloss Enhancer QD
I choose the evolution polish because its super smooth and leaves a great finish, it has very little cut which is perfect for a soft paint finish like the GT-R has. I figured I would get the correction power out of the green foam pads instead, I let the mechanical cut of the pad work out the swirls with the evolution polish.
I finished every polished area off with the Gloss Enhancer QD
