The first time I inspected this car I could tell it needed some work, but its an older car so that comes with the territory. This vehicle was set up for an Ultimate Exterior detail only because the interior is in great shape. The owner dropped her off Sunday evening and picked her up Tuesday evening. What laid beneath the oxidation and swirls was beautiful! Anyways, the pictures will speak for themselves... Exterior Before Car was washed with the usual CG Citrus Wash & Gloss via 2BM. Wheels were taken care of with p21s wheel gel with a boars hair brush and EZ Detail brush to get the inside barrels. Hologram city... Some beauty hides behind it, you can sort of see it! Holo-GRAMS Exterior After Now that the years of weathering and what seemed to be a really bad detailer had been corrected, the beauty was revealed. Correction was mostly taken care of with Menzerna PO203S with green pads. The occasional deep RIDS were knocked out with Menzerna Powergloss and yellow pad. I had this yellow pad in my collection forever now, so I decided to give it a try instead of PFW. This is my favorite shot I've ever taken. The clarity around the camera is amazing and I never adjust or edit any of my photos Still a small scratch on the lower left section of the picture. These are the kind that were needed to be corrected with Powergloss Left side uncorrected, right side corrected Top corrected, bottom uncorrected Self explanatory Before: 50/50 Final Shots Menzerna FMJ and Einzett Glanz Wax was used for the LSP Thanks for looking. Comments are welcome. I'm saving the next write up for last
You did a nice job on the Nissan! On an older car like that, ESPECIALLY one where you know a hack has had his way with, do you use a PTG? I'd be afraid of either going through or leaving the clear so thin as to cause future damage. I didn't read anything about PTG values so maybe you did and forgot to mention it. If you don't own one, please take my advise and get yourself one soon. There are lots and lots of examples on DB where guys have been shocked by the readings and had to radically alter their approach. I just don't want to see you get burned.
nice work. looks great! love how the single stripe matches the color of the calipers. too bad the wheels suck!
Great job. I haven't seen the 300ZX in a long time. I really like that body style and I'm impressed by the shine you gave it...NICE...:thumb:
