    BrendanS Welcome to Detailing

    Worked on this GTR today with a friend of mine. It was in pretty decent shape, just the rear end of the car and sides had some bonded contaminates. Nothing Riccardo Blue can't handle though. Rims also got waxed with Collinite 845, I did what I could with them. Also, exhaust is catless so it wasn't the easiest to clean. I only had my P21S Polishing Soap with me, no actual metal polish/steel wool combo so I did what I could with it. I'll let the pictures speak though.

    Wash:
    - 2 Bucket Method w/ Grit Guards
    - Raceglaze Sheepskin Washmitt

    - Raceglaze XL Wheel Brush

    - Collinite 845

    Great work Brendan.

    Is this an old project or a recent one? I can't believe you are wearing shorts in Canada during this time of the year. I guess we got all your snow here in VA... lol.

    Nice work man. Those GTR's are sick sick sick. I am seeing more and more people use that Zep degreaser. I might have to add that to my arsenal just to see how it is.

    BrendanS Welcome to Detailing

    I couldn't justify $60 to ship 7 or 8 gallons of APC from Majestic Solutions, so I looked for a local solution. Honestly, I find Zep Citrus works better. It's a bit stronger at 3:1 then MS SGS, I've done a test on my sisters jetta, and the Zep side came out brighter and cleaner. You should give it a go!
    This is from today! :headbang:
