Very nice, I've always wanted to see close up pics of the interior and engine on this car.

tennis · 09-15-2010, 12:40 AM

Guess you didn't do those since it's new.

oly kenji · 09-15-2010, 01:16 AM

i hate the car. but the detail is amazing.

SUBIESKI · 09-15-2010, 12:19 PM

Nice Job!

That finish was about as bad as my car and its 6 years old and was put through a auto car wash for the first 3 years of its life lol

jxkim · 09-15-2010, 10:25 PM

wow nice car... nice job.

if i had a $80k car i would definitely come to you guys.

orangecurtain · 09-16-2010, 01:35 AM

That shot of the passenger door looks like the car is made of chrome. That's amazing work.

WTFWJD014 · 09-16-2010, 02:27 AM

Very Nice job!

"How dare that owner not take care of that car before it got that bad."

My bad, I can't read...

O well, it looks even better than brand new.
I've always wanted to work in a detailer(s) shop. You guys hiring?

DetailersDomain · 09-16-2010, 10:55 AM

thanks everyone

vapore0n · 09-16-2010, 11:40 AM

damn.
Can you pm me how much all this job actually costs? I always wanted to get an idea of how much a professional detail would go.
I usually do my own detail, almost same process. But lately ive been lazy, and New England weather and road conditions dont help out either.

DetailersDomain · 09-16-2010, 12:01 PM

there is a guy up by you one of the best his name is Rick from Unique.

faceplant527 · 09-16-2010, 12:08 PM

wow it looks BRAND NEW !!! I stay away from black cars and go for white because I hate swirl marks so much! amazing job!!!

AnthonyA182 · 09-16-2010, 12:10 PM

Damn so fresh and so clean? Do Nissans just have ****ty paint (like Subys lol)?

I'd be interested in the guy's name from New England too. Is he in the Boston area by chance? Would you mind PM'ing me that info as well?

Excellent work on the GTR, as usual.

Yoo Shin · 09-17-2010, 02:01 PM

Subaru has better paint IMO. The Nissan's is as bad as my Mitsu. A guy at work has the bronzy pewter color GTR and it's got all kinds of paint issues from swirling, to chips, to flat spots.

AlxSti · 09-17-2010, 02:47 PM

Very nice.. didn't do the engine bay?
