Evening All, So its been awhile since my car had a full on detail and I've offered it up to a member on here who was looking for white GTRs for his wedding. So I decided to do a big detail today and I've taken photos through different stages. Should give anyone who is wondering how to detail a car a good idea of the process and the amount of time it takes to get a good result. 90% of a good detail is in the preparation. The steps I used for the detail are 1: Wash Car. I do wheels first with a Wheel cleaner and a microfibre wash mit as well as the wheel arches. Then wash the body with a separate wash mit. After wash I use a microfibre drying towel to dry the car and a seperate one to dry the wheels. 2. Clay the car using a Blue Magic Clay Bar. This is to get rid of all the built up crap that sits on top of your paint and gives you a smooth surface to polish. 3. After claying I wash the car again to remove any clay residue. Again dry with microfibre drying towel. 4. Now the surface is all ready for polishing. I use a random orbital for polishing. I used Menzerna Intensive Polish on a Blue edge pad for the first pass and then Menzerna Final Finish on a White edge pad for finishing it up. 5. I used FI Seal for my last step product. This is a new sealer from Final Inspection in Melbourne. It goes on really easy and provides awesome protection. The sealer needs 72 hours to cure and then I will apply another coat to add some more protection. The sealer won't need to be applied again for another 6 months or so. To keep the shine I will be topping it up with P21s 100 carnauba paste wax. Here are all the photos I took today from start to finish. Equipment Car Pre Wash Car After Wash Bit Rich? This rear bar is a pain in the arse to keep clean. Dam white cars. I used my wheel cleaner to get the majority of this crap off as it eats through it a lot quicker. The clay bar then gets anything that was missed. These always look shit as well. About time they got cleaned. After Claying After Polish and Sealer Was a long day but the car looks fantastic now. Next on the list is the interior.

Interesting spelling of it lol. Soo farked now time for bed lol

Taz we should definitely hit up mount mee next I wanna see if I can keep up with you up there Run last night was stupid amounts of fun. Car was making a mockery of me it just kept asking for more lol. Bring amber with you? So it's me, John, Taz & Teresa so far. Michael & Brandon you gunna come? Geoff? Food is bought so either way there's a BBQ happenin tomorrow car is f**kin spotless will post up pics n shit soon. Pics of the 31 coming as well

Read the description. Just needs blah blah blah. Just needs to cost 3k less.

Cheers bud. I'll leave the door for now. I reckon I can get the ding out of this one, its not that bad. Uni work is gay. Looking forward to springbrook later

Panels i'm all set unless I decide to replace the passenger side rear door which has a bit of a ding in it. I reckon it will come out though. Bolts I definitely need for the front guard and fitting the front bar etc.

Sick thread Dave. So much work eh. Rescepta. Well the 31 is home Tried to start it, dead battery so jumped it and drove it up and down the street with half the front end missing lol. Box feels pretty nice and it sounds tough as f**k with the straight pipe & no cat lol. test fitted the guard i bought off ebay and the front end gear I got off Martin/Dan. Will need a bit of work but it looks good. Pictures tomorrow when its light lol. Can't wait to start now Won't get started this weekend though because I need to give the GTR a bit of love haha.

Can only see the glow worms at 3am that's why it's so late. Wouldn't wanna go all the way through springbrook and miss the glow worms

Air filter? Check everything fluids, leaks etc can you RWC my 31

some serious poke then When is it all going to be finished? Are you and mick coming up to Brissy tonight?

lol Welcome to Quote Fest 2009. Epic round trip today. Home > Work > Baskin n Robbins > Ipswich > Home. Not sure if I'll make it on one tank of fuel lol. The Prado gets worse fuel economy than the GTR.

Goin halves on a mig with dad when he gets around to buying one. Hit up eBay or the library for cheap/free books

That was a 33 aswell. I fully expect that car to be dead soon. Didn't seem like the type who would look after the car. RIP RB26

wdf is the red packet?

Second point is debatable How much power are you expecting after its all tuned up?

For 15k I wouldn't be expecting much. Check interior wear to see if it matches up with the k's on the car. Gearstick boot, handbrake boot, condition of the seats, wear on the steering wheel & pedals. When you drive it listen for any strange noises. diff, clutch, gearbox etc. Make sure when your shifting through the gears its smooth and doesn't crunch into gear. Look for any smoke coming out the exhaust. Blueish smoke = turbos will need replacing. I would get a compression test done as well to make sure all is well. If you're unsure get a 3rd party inspection. Cheap GTRs tend to end up being expensive GTRs after the motor lets go so be wary.

we're usually there till 9ish. Swing by and say hello.

lol. Return it no less than 30 days before you purchased it. Shouldn't be too hard with a flux capacitor on board eh.

ouch. I'll let you know when my flux capacitor is fixed.

lunch time nigs. Time for nandos. Then after that I should probably do some work...probably.

page?

black man trapped in a pasty white boys body? Think im goin Nandos. I've got something similar on my phone never actually used it though lol.

Nandos, Oporto, Hungry Jacks, Toscanis or go shopping at woolies. Those are my options.

Need to get to 850 posts then I can take a break. Need some farken chicken!
