2010 Black R35 Paint Correction. Making The Old New Again

[handbrake]

As you might know I recently picked up a second hand black 2010 R35 from victoria and had it delivered up to me in Brisbane by CEVA logistics with 17,000km on the clock.

The car was completely standard and in very good nick inside and out aside from a few things.

There was gutter rash on all four wheels which I had Depulu at ashmore on the gold coast fix up - really great job I have to say - and fitted a new set of bridgstones.

In addition to the gutter rash on the wheels there were a few gouges out of the rear of both side skirts and the front lip from many parking indescretions.

I had them professionally repaired on site by a prestige car touch up guy (Caedmon Foy from Superfinish) and aside from some orange peel effect, they were mint afterwards.

Then I got in James from Autoglamour to do the paint correction.

I knew that althought he car was in very good nick otherwise, that the paint was rogered.

James has done a really good job. The car does literally look like new again. I imagine the paint is probably in better condition now than many black R35's are delivered in.

here is a link to his documentation of the process, the photos dont do it justice but are a good example of how bad this paint can get.

That's an amazing end result!

The soft clear coat on Black Nissans makes them so hard to maintain without doing damage while washing; but the hard work is definitely worth it.

yep washing my solid black gtr takes all my 10+ years worth of skill as a hobbiest detailer - it can be done though

After seeing these results, I've booked Autoglamour to come and detail + ceramic coat my new family bus that arrives 1-2nd week of Oct.

Fortunately, the GT-R doesn't need any of this sort of lovin - yet

I've never seen anything like it, amazing work!
