GT-R was in pretty rough shape after some poor bodyshop work, and the owner wanted it looking proper again. 3 steps of corrective work and 28hrs later it was looking as it should.
Upon delivery
Not sure what these spots were, but they would not wash or clay off.
Typical bodyshop work....crank up the rotary buffer with a wool pad and dry-buff the paint.....sigh....
Plenty of swirls in the soft GT-R paint
50/50 on the hood
Before...
After a quick 50/50 for a side-by-side comparison
Bumper didn't have as many swirls, but the RIDS were extensive and required heavy compounding to level out.
After heavy compounding the defects were all removed. The haze from aggressive compounding would be eliminated with several polishing steps to restore the gloss
Rear deck and spoiler needed a lot of work....
50/50 after initial compounding on the rear spoiler. More work was to follow to eliminate even more defects....
Clarity restored and final polishing to come in order to amp the gloss up further
