Nissan GT-R Limited Edition + Opti Coat: Street Dreams Detail
Attempting to make up for lost writeups. 2012 Nissan GT-R limited in for a 2 day new car prep and paint correction detail plus Optimum Opti Coat.
This is how a good customer brings you his new car, all the plastic and bump guards still on from the dealer, no prep at all
Pre-soak body with OPC 5
Wheels sprayed down with Sonax FE and later pressure rinsed, no agitation needed on this car
No claying needed, simple application of IronX worked well
Alcohol + Distilled water wipedown (multiple) to remove some fine tape lines
Tape lines hard to see in daylight but visible once solution is sprayed...
Exhaust polished up and protected with Rejex sealant
50:50
Car needed minor paint correction. Polishing consisted of Menzerna powerfinish using the Flex rotary and tangerine pad followed by 106FA on the DA machine
Finishing stage using a green DD foam pad and Menzerna 106FA
Post IPA wipedown checking the work in sunlight, no residual haze or marring and time to apply OptiCoat
Car was foamed with citrus wash and then rinsed, followed by 2 more IPA wipedowns before the application of Opti Coat. It may seem overkill to go through this much trouble to prep a finish but using a product like Opti Coat or Aquartz is not like a regular LSP, you cant just wipe it off and start over. Make sure everything is perfect before you move on with application, rushing it can just cause problems
Finishing details (engine bay, wheel wells trim work)
Engine bay before, light water etch in plastic
After removing and application of my #1 trim product Wolf's Trim Guard... the stuff is silly easy to work and not the least bit greasy!
Final shots...
Metallic flake pop
My favorite photo on this detail
Back in the garage awaiting pickup, some reflection shots...
Thanks for looking!
All the best,
Dave

Can't believe difference in exhaust tips, what makes this a LE GTR?

Beautiful BE GT-R. They had one this color in stock when I ordered mine and it is fvcking beautiful!!! Just a bit too blingy for my personal taste but you bought out the best in it. Nice work.
