Once upon a time there was a mythical creature known as Godzilla. To me this mythical creature holds a very special place in my heart. A Nissan GTR is the car I dream of, by far and way my favorite! I have had a many customers call me with one of these beast but some way or another something always happen... One of them was totaled the day before the appointment, another one stolen, and the worst was the one that was dropped off at the shop and before I could wash it customer showed backed up with what I could only assume was very un happy wife and canceled. Between us she looked way meaner than real Godzilla. This time though Godzilla was dropped off at my door step looking beat down... I was on mission! Bring Godzilla to glory!

After being held hostage at a local dealership for 6 months.......

You could see the pain and battle scars of multiple wipe downs with what I could only assume was an 80 gallon drum of quick detail spray and a brick applicator

The skin can be healed but it was going to take some work!

More evidence of the torture this city crushing monster went through! Totally uncalled for!

Beautiful polishing, great job Dark Side. Can you devulge products?

Speaking of Godzilla, and to Ron's unfortunate point:

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
 
looks great!!! Did this have the self healing clear? Talked to a guy with a 2015 yesterday and asked him if it had the self healing clear. He looked at me dumbfounded!!!!!
 
Thanks guys!

Sure, I use 205 on MFFD on rupes 21 for my initial cut KBM style to keep the paint cool. My finishing step was Black Fire finishing polish/the a really fast reflect step, Eraser wipe and Finest!

It did! I've done other cars with that before so I was prepared :) There is a sticker under the hood that tells you
 
Excellent job as always. What light are you using for that metallic paint? My lights tend to wash out in the flakes.

Thanks for the response! Was wondering if you used the KB method with 205. Looks great! Haven't done one yet. Did you soak the spray bottle in ice water too? Or just water/M205?
 
Great work on Godzilla. I am trying to trade my 2014 370Z roadster in on a used one. Got to be used, can't afford the crazy cash they want for a new one.
