First time I've polished it since owning it, owned it for about 2 months. Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo & Autoglym Deep Shine polish were used. Turned out pretty good for a 1st attempt I think. Will wax it using Autoglym product next time, or any suggestions as to what Wax I should use? Thankspost-109055-0-11566400-1363596703_thumb.jpgpost-109055-0-10217500-1363596763_thumb.jpg

Detailed a Porsche Panamera Turbo.

An Amazing Car. It was a US import and had a lot of fall out on the car and poor maintenance of the paint.

Didnt get any good shots pre detail due to it belting with rain and iphone poor quality.

Process:

Foam Wash

Wheel Treatment

Clay Bar

2.5 Stage Polish

- IP2000 Purple Pad

- IP2000 White Pad

- SF4000 Blue Pad

AMMO Skin Sealant

AMMO Creme

Huge thanks to the guys at RDA for giving me the opertunity to detail such an amazing car. Check out their web site for all your brake needs.

love your work as always Matt :thumbsup:

I did an old Saab today...I wont lie this thing had amazing duco on it already but it was badly scratched, no doubt from bad washing procedures...

only had a few hours with it unfortunately so a 2 stage polish and wax was all I could do..

I did have a brief ponder about buying a four door SAAB a couple of months ago before getting the 35. Especially with the prices going low now... but love my Nissans too much

Here is some beadage after a wash today, its wearing a three month old coat of Optimum Spray Wax

Waxed with Eagle One Nanowax and then waxed again with Mother cuts and polish and then lightly buffed - overall time took under 30 mins to do.

.nah wasnt that....its the wax then cut then polish...seems kind of backwards....looks alright though...:rofl:

Yes that's accurate.

Was still having a dumb moment..... It was a trial and error.

so you're saying you removed the wax with the cut and polish :P

Yeah totally :P Edited by Ants
  • 2 weeks later...

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
