Just spent 5hrs washing, claying, polishing and waxing car.

Not happy with the autoglym super resin polish. Didnt cut enough. Need to use a stronger cutting compound to restore my paint.. hehe

Too tired to get proper pictures, maybe tomorrow

Phaw!!! Looks mint! i wouldnt change a thing

Thanks mate. It's like a brand new car. Less than 60000k's with full service history, and less than 20000k's since 1996.

Not really planning on changing anything which is damn hard when there's a GTR in the garage :-)

Maybe the wheels, and I'm adding an oil cooler next week for protection, but that'll be it i think :down:

Looks damn good in my books mate.

I have never really understood what the clay part does though.

Thanks for the comment :)

if you run your fingers over the paintwork on your car, you might feel a lot of bumps which you cant see.

Claybar is a peice of clay which you slide across the paint which sticks to these bumps(microscopic dirt/imperfections) and pulls them out of the paint. Leaving a real smooth paint afterward.

Rekin, looks tops mate :)

I can't see what you're worried about from those pics. Paint looks pretty good.

haha, wasnt too impressed over the autoglym super resin polish. $30 for 375ml's expected a real good cut.

Although reading some fine print on the internet, they say to do 2-3 coats of the polish to get a good result.

Although it be quite hard to squeeze 3 coats out of a 300ml bottle...

Just finished washing my car and decided to take a few shots. Should have taken it out of the shade

    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
    • My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more
    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
