OK, I have lurked on here long enough, I only recenlty joined up an donly recently decided to post...now I should show this...its been on Autogeek, but there is alot of people here that don't go there...so enjoy!!!



Well, I did this car ages ago, its currently getting a rebuilt engine (I own a White R33 GTST).





God white is hard as you need certain light to see the swirls and scratches, unfortunately despite looking good at the start there was ALOT of time that has gone into this car especially the paint and wheels!!!



Process was done using DP 4in1, DP swirl removers and polishes, followed by Wolfgang and Poorboys Sealants and topped with Pinnacle Liquid Wax, it will also receive a spray sealant in a couple of weeks to lock it all in. Wheels were polished with DP Wheel Glaze and the rim lips were done with my favourite Bowdens Metal Polish.



Windows due to water etching were polished with PB Polish after DP glass restorer, could not get rid of all of them but we will get there.



Anyway enough dribble...



The befores...(after wash but wheels not cleaned as they are removed to be cleaned verytime!!)

Post Interior Clean...using DP Interior Cleaner and 303 and just a vacuum of the carpet using a Shop Vac after light spray of DP Int cleaner 10:1, also Pinnacle Leather Cleaner and Conditioner on the handbrake and gear boots. Megs NXT Glass Cleaner on Windows.

During...using DP Exterior Cleaner for the brakes and suspension and engine bay as well. Megs tire shine spray for the innerguards and PB Bold and Bright on Tyres (depends on the car but the PB seems to look better to me but not last as long as the Pinnacle)

Oh my gezz!



the R34's are just simply beautiful cars! Built with basically an unbreakable engine



Awesome job!



Def. brought back the reflectiveness of that white!
 
From the reflections and picks of other cars in the back ground looks like you live in the states. How did you get that car here? If you don't live in the states...well it makes more sense you have that car and never mind me.
 
Almost missed out the best photos!!!



OMG now outside...

You can't often get good reflectiosn off of white cars but you can tell a well done white car when it glows in the shade :up
