A 2003 Nissan 350Z Track edition that has been prepped...and previously used, for drifiting came through the shop as a recent acquisition. The vehicle had been severely neglected and certainly a little banged up, but a good bit of life was left and wanted to be revived. This is certainly a dramatic transformation and one of the grimier cars that I have worked on lately.

Products used: All of them.

Car as it arrived, no recollection on the last time the vehicle was so much washed, let alone detailed:

Great work as always! I bet it was nice working with those rounded panels.
 
Nice job man!! Love the look of the shop with all the stacks of towels and chemicals all lined up on the shelves. I bet the owner didn't even recognize it when they came to pick it up! Haha.
