    DETAILING DONE RIGHT (non e30 content)

    I was browsing through google and bumped into this fully detailed "how to" detail a GTR. My gawd, this guy knows what he's doing. I've yet to see someone detail an e30 like this.

    Show & Shine - Wes_R + GT-R [120 pics] - I honestly don't know how to start this so let's just get straight into it. So I was contacted initially for advice on how to deal with the swirls with the Porter Cable, Optimum Polishes, and some Lake Country Pads but along the conversation when I mentioned how long it would...

      any professional detailer will take the same/similar steps when detailing a client's vehicle. The only difference between the gtr guy and most detailers is that he didn't use a foam gun which helps out a lot.

      i work for www.detailaddict.com. pm me with any questions about washing/detailing cars and i'll help you out.

        Got mine cleaned about 3 years ago like that cost about $200 for it seems they lost money on amount of hours they worked on it. Shame as they forgot to seal the paint and the crude on my car quickly went back to chalky in few areas.

        Won't spend that till car is repainted properly.

          That is one nice car. Its alot easier to make a 1 year old car look nice compared to a 20 year old. Ive color sanded before but on a near $100K car, id be freaking out!

                    Looks good.

                    About the same as when I do the other cars we have, it takes me the entire weekend. Probably because of the beer breaks. But I wash then tape, clay, polish, seal and wax then detail and hit the insides. Too bad my E30 isn't in better shape so I can give it more than the monthly wash and wax.

                          good stuff. might make a stop to get my e30 paint corrected and sealed up. I used to know elliot because he worked at a tutoring center with me. is he still driving an e46 m3?

                            yep he has the clean e46 m3. I think he'll be around until the end of summer when he transfers for school. You can call the shop or just pm me since I can check the calendar and availability from my phone or any computer.
