    This was my first GTR, and it came in red. These cars have been on my hit list for a while and I finally got the opportunity to take one on. The car was in decent shape, (except the wheels) just a lot of marring in the paint from the notorious soft GTR paint.

    The Process

    Wash
    Washed with 2BM with AM Wax and Wax and uber sponge
    Wheels got AG CWC (x5) and still didn’t some out perfects, the dust had eaten into the coating, thanks to the brembos
    Dried with ww towel
    Tires got 3D tire gel

    The Engine
    The engine was cleaned with AM 777 and left factory clean, no dressing

    The Interior
    AM 777 and Carpet and Upholstery cleaner
    Rigid propak
    Aztec Hot Rod
    And lots of brushes
    Jambs got AM Magic Mist

    The Correction
    Corrected everything but the bumpers with a PC XP and Menz 203 on a green GI pad
    The bumper were done with a green 3 inch gi and Menz 203
    Cleaned the surface with aquasol
    Lots of cookie monsters

    The PC worked a lot slower than using a rotary but I had heard the paint sucked on these so I opted for my new PC

    The glass saw Sprayway

    The LSP for the day was Worlds Best Wax Collector Series

    On to the Photos

    I had a few more pics but my computer died at home along with the software to blank out the plates

    Total Time
    9.5 hours and about 6lbs of sweat

    Love the car, and the rims really set it off.

    I also spy a GT in the background. Nice.

    Nice job, bryan. Where did you find "World's Best Car Wax" from? Never heard of them.

    Looks good Bryan.

    How is the collector's wax? I have the Connoiseur, which is nice, and smells like big red gum.

    wow Bryan, congrats on the GTR.

    I wish you had more pics. It would have been quite a treat.

    Some of those other cars I see there are interesting too :)

    great detail

    the red looks even better in the flesh, the grey bottom sills help sell it

    Bryan...just echoing the others...looks amazing in red (especially when you were done with it, LOL). The GT looks great peaking its ass out of the garage...when you doing that one? I just wish the wheels were red or something that showed their detail more than the black does...maybe that's just me??

    Great job, Bryan. You should've asked the owner to let you borrow the the GT-R for the weekend....LOL

    nice correction work bryan. that thing had a hell of a lot of marring. you can tell its a drivers car for sure, not just some garage queen. looking forward to hopefully seeing you work on the GT!

    looks good sir. That car had some swirls for sure. I love red but when comes to photos they can be very difficult to take pics of when the lamps are on. Car is looking in top shape.
