Not a huge write up on this, but it was a cool car and something I’m sure will be appreciated. The car belongs to a good friend of mine. He’s had it for 5 years and has gradually built it into an amazing drift spec weapon. It was painted around a year and a half ago and has only been washed a few times since then and spent most of it’s time out last year competing in Drift Cup. We went to Spring Matsuri at Rockingham at the weekend so I spent a day cleaning it up so it’d look it’s best on the day. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09335_zpsenb32...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/f/2/f2ece69351f089840a461a0e036beec46b1777dd.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09336_zpslltot...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/e/7/e7ff5c90b65a89bef6abd96d31d4a153801fa2b0.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09337_zpsnu2j0...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/5/4/54f87180f1340d5d5419a19508bd00c292d133d0.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09338_zpsuyvvx...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/c/a/ca115f5d3987de84f9a57737d2bce3669645d1c2.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09339_zpsgz3ov...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/0/0/00c3d2696afb57938920ae4456c0789fdce07d5b.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09340_zpsj2w1u...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/1/b1b6c3bb1678abeccc26da65cbdb51a605bb9883.webp) Wheels and tyres were cleaned first with Auto Finesse Imperial and a selection of brushes. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09341_zpsmoqed...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/d/7/d7c81f6699bcd8c6356aa55841717ca7435cc8dc.webp) The car was then rinsed, pre-washed and then washed using ODK Jet and the two bucket method. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_20160307_121713_zps9gmssqir.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/2/0/201616765ff569d7adde0f39c4e16fcc6c725cca.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09342_zpsvfuc5...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/0/e/0e247c49909bf1971a48c2d76122b38ad16f2a91.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09343_zpsjmsmn...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/6/16030ffa795566474913681817b8a3f5dc56dc1f.webp) Iron Out was used on the body work and wheel to remove and fallout. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09354_zpsu4hw4...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/6/d/6d405757f53ecdb18f3e8e833746dbb2a48d08c0.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09350_zpsffrxl...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/7/d/7dbb7cfab1a66a4c17479a9a964d6bd0fffeb1fe.webp) The car was thoroughly rinsed, tar removed and finally clayed before being re-washed and dried. I used Rejuvenate via DA to further cleanse the paint work and bring back a little more gloss. The over fenders are pretty big… ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09362_zpszz3dc...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/7/1/71a0c1722626ceec54dde81ebf0cb32bce5dea15.webp) The scuttle was treated with Revive.

Tyres dressed with Meguiar’s. Glass polished and sealed with G|techniq. The interior was vacuumed out, the seats and steering wheel given a wipe down with AF Total. Meg’s D114 was used on the exposed paintwork and roll cage. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09386_zpsx4lk7...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/2/2/223a3f85e1a771c26a96006e99d5eeb72766f19c.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09387_zps6lbkl...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/0/9/096ce9d4fc9705f110c5844e886fbaef84a7d5de.webp) Comfort for passengers. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_Nissan_20S15_20Dave_DSC09390_zpsx0fhh...webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/f/7/f75cff4f69b6c93d57152feb54c1847ed2edae81.webp) ---
