^^ That's awesome - what a cool idea.

You should put a small advertisement for your detailing services on the car. The proof is in the pudding...

Thanks davey g-force for your kind words and suggestion

will do

Re: Nissan 2face revisited

This is really cool... and funny. As I was reading the post, I wasn't expecting you to keep the car half and half but I applaud you for keeping it that way. Its a perfect constant reminder of how a little detailing can make the paint look so much better.

Thanks car potential; for your kind words
yes, a little tender and a little car will goes along way


you too can make a difference...with just a little patience & plenty of passion

quick interior 1/2 done

Furthest left,original dull state
Middle area (darker side) - Meguiars Gold class Vinyl detailer
right side - cleaned by Meguiars APC with brushes & quick detail Meguiars Gold class Vinyl detailer





conclusion only a clean surface bringing up brillant shine on the dash

no short cut

Re: Nissan 2face revisited

water behavior on 2face

original dull side & water splattered ....water remain there


the detail side
water disperse ...breaking into smaller fraction



conclusion...a detail & protected side is always well protected as the harsh environment

Re: Nissan 2face revisited

Nice! I'm thinking about doing something similar to a 1993 Dodge pick-up that looks like that.. but I'll do the whole thing and not just half.

What's the 'D 151' you have listed as something you used??
