I really do get to work on some amazing cars for equally amazing owners. This 2013 Audi R8 V10 Plus was a recent purchase by a good friend and client.

This is one very special car. Astons always hold a place in my heart but this one is beyond even that.An existing client picked up this little number not long back. It was the same car that was at the Aus GP this year for the launch. As such it has been signed by none other than Daniel Ricciardo himself.It was done over a couple of visits. The front end and other strategic areas were corrected first. It then was taken away to have those areas covered in paint protection film. It then came back to have the film corrected as well as the rest of the car. Then the whole car (inc film) was Opti-Coated

Nissan Skylline R32 GTR V Spec II

TREATMENT

  1. Wash & Decontamination

  2. Multi-Stage Paint Correction

  3. Opti-Coat Pro+ Paint Protection (2 layers)

DESCRIPTION

This stunning example of an unmodified R32 GTR was imported a few years ago. It has an incredibly low 22,000 kms on the clock! A car better than this simply won't be found outside of a museum. It's owner, upon receiving the car, went about coating it himself.Now, I'm never ever one to discourage people from giving detailing a go themselves. Everyone starts somewhere, and I applaud those willing to spend the time and effort on their cars. Especially in a society where so many people are time-poor. There is an immense satisfaction that can be gained with achieving results yourself. As well as learning a craft and continuing to improve your skills.By the owner's own admission, his coating effort wasn't great, and whilst I would never put down the efforts of others, he was quite happy for this, in his own words, "to be made an example of". He said he's more than happy for people to learn from this, and that I shouldn't be afraid to write it up. You've got to respect that!
