This one owner, low mileage 2009 GTR came in for some TLC before going up for sale.
The car lived the city lifestyle of hand car washes and being tapped while parking.
The front end had been painted to relieve it of some road rash, but this left sanding marks and buffer trails.
The order of the detail...
Full safe wash and decontamination.
2 stage machine polishing to the front end.
Single stage machine polish for the remainder.
Gtechniq Sealant for the paintwork and wheels.
The car was valeted before arriving, but the full wheels - snow foam - 2 bucket wash etc. were employed.
Embedded brake dust being removed from the wheels.

After the decontamination stages, the car was masked up for polishing.
Before and after shots.

Once all polishing was complete, the car was panel wiped before being protected with Gtechniq.
The interior was steam cleaned and protected.
The finished GTR
