This is not a JDM ride, but it happen to come from the UK, her name is more than juz evolution, rather having a code, FQ400

of which this reminds me of Mr Clarkson's review


picture shown together with optimum products, and a very magical wax, one of the most expensive wax i bought since detailing, Meguiar's NXT 2.0 wax, it smells juz sweet

as a result. i wouldn;t say the gloss would last long, it should b consider as temporary purpose
the quick detailing is to let the owner to drive this lovely ride during our holiday here, Chinese New Year
maybe until nx time i would hav this ride fully detailed

Happy Chinese Dragon New Year!!!

Great turnaround! The paint looks a lot better with simple prepping.

Is the paint single coat? Because I thought only single coat paint becomes oxidize?
 
sorry for late reply, yes i guess its single coated paint else the clear coat wont get oxidized easily...
might wanna ask the owner to give a try on opti coat to maintain the paint
