    The owner of this red godzilla contacted me to detail his car, in the pm he expressed concern about the panels that may have been repainted. We set an appointment for this morning to look at it, and alas, the entire car minus the hood has been repainted @ one point or the other (Body work ranged from decent to crappy, lol). I started at 9am with the help of a friend and finished the car @ 5:50pm. The front wheels were washed and rinsed 3 times and the rear wheels were washed and rinsed twice. The entire wash process took about 2 1/2 hours on this one. Polishing was done through Griot's 6" DA with Megs MF system (D300 + compounding MF pads). LSP used was Prima Amigo.

    Now onto the pictures:

    Most satisfying part? The owner's jaw dropped, and the word "fantastic" was used in every other sentence, lol.

    Thanks, Ken!
    Thank you, the oem red was pretty sexy after it was corrected.

    Thanks, Mike! Unfortunately no more pics, the sun had almost gone down by the time We were done, and I did not have sufficient light to take pictures of the entire car

    Thanks, Kody!

    The MF system has a bit of a learning curve, at least for me it did. I hated it at first but now I love it!

    Thank you, Phil!
    See above regarding pics, lol. I used the cutting disk.
    We were guessing it was involved in numerous wrecks through out the past 2 1/2 years. My customer is the 2nd owner of the vehicle.

    The GTR looks great. That paint was pretty bad, and now looks really glossy.

    It is a shame that didn't happen to me and not you.

    I wouldn't mind getting rid of 1/2 my friends on fb. LOL
