    This black GT-R came in for an extensive correction. The soft GT-R paint presented its own challenges, but with the right tools and products, a high level of correction was achieved. The better part of 2 days was spent getting the car to look its best.

    I think the exhaust tips were the most impressive turn around for me, what was your process with those? Buy new ones? haha
