Brand New Nissan Gtr 35 With Paint Defects Over Two Days

[rb26s13]

Sorry to go totally off-topic, but I saw your name and pic and one thing instantly sprang to mind...

your not the only one..

[Omurru]

Maybe the paint defects are not so much to do with poor paint to begin with but how it's been looked after? Also I can't imagine the whole shipping it here would do it much good.

Pic of same car from another post:

how the hell did the paint get like that in 2 days?

did they wash it with sanding paper??

[NISMO]

Nice Job Mario.

If your used to high end cars, all i can say is welcome to the world of Nissan paint.

Renowned for being so soft that slightly heavy breathing in a clock wise direction will cause it swirl.

I have a black 2004 V35 and spent about 2 days in my garage trying to get them all out.

ive seen the car in the flesh! (window shopping) you guys did a very nice job...... maybe a test drive?

[gts-4 dreamer]

gota admit, ive seen some seriously soft paint on nissans... if its not soft it's fading.. ie.. to thin and to think on the same car..

[PolishDoc]

That looks awesome!!! Great job!!

But ahhh...did you say "$40,000,000" deposit?!?!?!

Oopps !!! I meant $ 40.000 :laughing-smiley-014:

Sorry !

How did you go ? Did you manage to get the paint defects out ?

That's what i said to a customer this paint is so delicate that you can't breath of the dam thing that it scratches

Immagine trying to machine polishing it and then trying to remove the polishing compound , the bloody thing marrs the paint

Thanks again

You wish :laughing-smiley-014:

Thanks , the job wasn't easy but the results are stunning once i finished it and of course it won't be long before it gets scratched again

Hello Guy's ,

I am fairly new to this forum ! My name is Mario and i am from Melbourne , here are shots of work that i did on this brand new GTR-35, as you have gathered by now i detail top end cars for a living

Brand New Nissan GTR 35 with paint defects over two and a half days !

One of my regular clients who imports Japanese cars has also imported a Brand new Nissan GTR 35 in Jet Black !

This is 0ne of the many GTR 35 in Australia! Nissan Australia will start importing them next year so my client decided to have it here sooner !

So far it's really stirred things up people stoping by the showroom to take a look at it there are twenty two clients on my clients list who are interested in the car and one in particular wanted to put a $ 40.000 deposit to secure it !

Most of these guys own Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati etc.....

but would like to have another super car like the GTR 35

Anyway on with the paint correction ! This paint reminds me of the very soft paint that Porsche used to have ! When i first inspected the paint i thought this can't be a new car the state of the paint was appalling !

I decided to give the Flex XC 3401 VRG a run , initially i wanted to use my rotary but then i decided to use the flex instead !

Most of the car was corrected with the Lake Country Orange CCS Pads 6.5"

and LC White CCS 6.5" pads, i decided to try PO 106 FF since my client told me that i will be back to repolish the whole car again in three months time that's why i didn't want to remove to much clear !

And since this car will be used for road tests you can imagine how it will look in three months time ! I briefly Shaw this car take off it was brutal !

Forget about the other It's this one in definitely in the super car league !

Edmonds in the States went to Japan to test it's full potential 3.3 seconds in launch mode and 475 NM of torque they say it's the quickest production car that has come out of the Nissan Stable !

Quicker than a Dodge Viper, quicker than a Porsche Turbo, and also quicker than a Corvette C6. Pity i couldn't go for a spin !

Didn't you get the memo. Nissan ship GT-R's with these paint "features" built in. They are not defects at all!

Nice work!

Nissan has always had very soft paint and this GTR-35 is no exception

Your moustache is rad.

[PolishDoc]

your not the only one..

Agreed, I get it all the time !

Doc thats exactly what my paint has even including the spider webs, lol. Car looks great - and black is always a good indicator of paint condition. They say its the hardest to look after but it also shows off paint quality the best so its game on in that aspect...

Are those spots from acid rain...??? Is that was causes those marks?

I thought i could get it all out by hard hand polishing it but obviously not...

Machine polishing...okay cool, i can arrange that.

Anything else you can prescribe? I care about the car so i want it looking its best.

What is "paint correction" exactly and how good do you think Meguiars are?

LOl, looks like SAU has its own in house paint Doc now...

Adam, pity you are in Japan i would have sorted this problem no worries !

Regards Mario

What the F.....

[mxfly]

Hi Mario,

Do you come to Sydney much? My black 350Z needs a serious treatment like what you did to that GTR!

cheers

Adam, pity you are in Japan i would have sorted this problem no worries !

Mate i wouldnt have worried you with a lowly Subaru!

Ill come see you when the Ferrari is a week old.

Thanks for the replies though, very useful.

So, whats the verdict on meguiars? Also, any tips you can pass on about paint care?

How does Nissan paint stack up against Subaru paint?

Adam,

Meguiar's are good products but they are not the best !

For your fastidious car nut i would recommend , Pinnacle , Wolgang, Swissvax ( Very Expensive !) but Excellent ! Instead of me boring you how good they are i will give you this link so you can find out eveything about car care ! This is an excellent site http://autogeek.net/index.html

Hope this helps
