Black 09 GT-R extensive correction detail
This black GT-R came in for an extensive correction. The soft GT-R paint presented its own challenges, but with the right tools and products, a high level of correction was achieved. The better part of 2 days was spent getting the car to look its best.
As it arrived
Tips would require some good polishing
Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner to make the wheels and brake calipers look amazing again.
Much better now
Pre-wash foaming to soften the dirt before washing
Swirls
After compounding, final polishing to be carried out later
Corrected (specs are just some polishing dust)
Tail lights need corrective work as well

The door jambs and trunk jambs also got attention and were sealed for protection and ease of cleaning.
For the clear film wrap on the front end of the car....
LSP choice for this car was Blackfire Wet Diamond
A little prep spray on the applicator
Allowing it to cure overnight for the best results
Finished pictures in the sun
Remember the rough looking exhaust tips?

Looking at your jobs like this makes me want to start doing this rather than sitting inside programming all day
I'm a bit confused though, what is this "clear film for the front"? Looks like a wax?
Thanks man and great job as always!!

The car looked pretty rough, for a fairly newer vehicle. But you did a great job with the correction.
Do you do this professionally, or more of a hobby???

I think about 9k
DA with LC orange then LC black with M105 and M205.
Thanks
Thank you! The whole front is wrapped in protective clear film or clear bra to protect from stone chips. Because it is a wrap, there are no seams to see so it looks nearly invisible on the paint. What you were seeing is me applying protective sealant to the film.
Thanks!
