Nissan S15 Drift Matsuri Prep

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.

Wheels and tyres were cleaned first with Auto Finesse Imperial and a selection of brushes.

The car was then rinsed, pre-washed and then washed using ODK Jet and the two bucket method.

Iron Out was used on the body work and wheel to remove and fallout.

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...

The scuttle was treated with Revive.
