Nissan Skyline Detail

[AndyWRX]

This was my other half nissan skyline GTS-T. When we picked it up it was in a bit of a sorry state, it was ment to be black but it had alot of swirls, like a sponge had been dropped on the floor then washed the car with it, also it had some sort of milkyness in the paint like staining so it was more of a grey colour, i just got my g220 so it was the perfect car to test it on, i couldnt really make it any worse so i thought what the hey.

The skyline turned out ok, wasnt the best correction but seriously improved on what it was and it was my first time with the g220, if the skyline was still around (nothing bad happend to it my other half decided to turn scooby) i would of corrected it fully.

Heres the before pics












So it was out with the snow foam, and after the first lot had started to dissipate it was given another dose




After the snow foam was rinsed off it was was washed with chemicial guys maxi suds II then rinsed again, you can allready see some improvement but alot of cars look good wet






Then whilst still wet it was clayed with meguairs quick clay kit, heres the clay after a test on the spoiler, also some after clay pics, you can see a big difference allready, the paint is smooth but it was still really bad





Then it was dried with sonus der wunder drying towel



After drying it was masked up ready for polishing



Weapon of choice G220 first on a white pad with chemicial guys polish sealent and glaze



Heres some 50/50's and progress shots









There were still some swirls and rds but i got rid of most of them, pretty good for a first attempt imo.

Next was the wheels, then were cleaned with billberry wheel cleaner and a soft wheel brush then rinsed





next was the rear bumper this had some quite bad oxidisation so abit more agressive approach was needed, i used the sonus yellow pad and a more agressive cutting polish

Before


50/50


After


Next it was given 2 coats of petes 53 wax and the tyres were dressed with meguairs endurance gloss, the glass was cleaned with megs fast glass and the metal bits polished with megs next gen metal polish

heres the final pics












I think the skyline turned out really well, it could of been improved alot more but i ran out of time, not bad for a first attempt though and imo much improved.
