Nissan R34 GTR V Spec White

Another 34 GTR we have here, though it may seem that I have detailed a few of these but it's very rare to find these on the streets. This is a 99 model and with these type of cars it is usually kept in a very good condition considering 14 year old cars. The paint on the bonnet, roof and trunk is beginning to oxidise a little (hazy) meaning it lacks sealant/wax for the clear coating.

There are a few ways to get rid of it, one is to do a heavy cut and progress to a fine cut to level the surface to give it a consistent reflection and the other way is to do a more intensive process of grit sanding the car down to a new layer or clear coat and then machine buff it to a fine finish giving it a total paint correction making it look like new.

And so the customer opted for the first option, to stay on the safe side.

Removed the swirl marks that can be found in any car out there, oxidation to the paint and headlights, engine bay cleaned, carbon stains from exhaust removed, synthetic sealant applied on top with a coat of carnauba wax, wheels cleaned and tyres dressed.

Honda Integra DC5S

Trying to keep this blog updated once a week or more often as I can. A good friend of mine newly purchased a second hand DC5S and rather it in excellent condition, paint was clean on the outside and interior is immaculate. To most people this car was treated with utmost care, however, to a detailers eye or to an enthusiast like my friend it is otherwise.

Besides some careless door scratches and a handful of swirl marks over the car there is not much extra work involved into it. Having said that, these swirl marks and light scratches do require some time to remove.

Here it is before I got started on it, and apologies with the before photos as it was a cloudy day and I managed to take a few snaps of the before condition when I had a glimpse of the petruding sun.

Once it was done, it was night time and photos did not come as clear as I would have preferred. Thankfully, I have had some white neon tubes installed to give it the reflection it needed for some after detail shots.
