  • HSV VY Clubsport R8 Gen T Detail..

    I got the Job of detailing this Beatufully presented car on saturday.


    After finally convincing Martin Donnon to letting me get my hands on it, i started to get to work
    The paint is pretty scratched and swirly, a lot of correction was needed

    i proceeded to wash it thoughorly, making sure all grime etc was off it.

    Then Chamois

    The paint had a fair bit over overspay and contaminants all over the paint, so clay barred it was

    Preparation is the key to a good polish job, so masking up the rubbers is parramount, to prevent burning.

    Various cutting compounds, polishes, sealants, waxes are used throughout the process (all Meguiars top quality) combined with various grades or buffing pads and equipment.


    Here are the results


    A process that started at 10am, and completed at 5pm, lets just say i was pretty stuffed after that :lol:

    what do u guys think??

                      There is also a Gallardo in the background too hehe

                      That is a Nissan Silvia S13 with a $1000 paint job

                      Just purchased as a drift car, no need to be pretty that one especially when it put out in excess of 300rwkw

                      But ill tackle that one next, so if i can get it a little better.
