I would like to thank DJ for a personal invitation to post my Detail on a 2010 GT3RS in Grey, enjoy,

The customer made the inquiry for a new car prep via e-mail. I then called the customer and spoke about what options were available. At this point i had no idea about the car until he explained that he had traveled to Stuttgart to pick it up. As always i was then very interested to hear what it was, then he explained that it was the new GT3 RS now i was excited as i haven’t seen many GT3 RS cars on the road let alone detail them and after doing the 993 GT2 this was one for the collection.

Now as i like to tell the story as it was the biggest thing was the customer’s biggest problem with me doing the work was trusting me enough to leave the car with me for 3 days. Then i put myself in his position and then it came home to me trusting someone with my brand new GT3 RS i think i would be sleeping with the car.

However i explained that the opportunity of working on this masterpiece was enough. We came to agreement and then organized a drop off.

Car arrived and the customer had spec’d the car without the graphics so a subtle GT3 RS if there is such a thing.

Here she is,

Buckets after 2BM with shampoo plus,






Final rinse,





Dried and then clayed with Meg's mild as it was getting too hot outside for the washing procedure so today clay and then Tardis to ensure the removal of all surface defects,

















Tardis Stage,












This was after a clay first and then 3 litres of Tardis,







Rinsed first with pressure washer cold and then to remove as much of the water as possible a pouring water tequnique,










Dry the car off with black Barron and drying towel (New!)












Defect's, washed with just running water since brought back from Stuttgart check these out,

 

My favourite,


























Wing removal,
















Now it was time to play with pads and products. This car was a nightmare to get right as the paint easily marked with the polishing pad unless it was spotless and lubricated with pad prime.

Bad sections done with,

Gloss It Yellow Pad and Gloss It One step Machine Correction (My new favourite product for good results in short time,

It has taken me a long time to get used to the Gloss It polishing products but after speaking to Rich Light the owner of Gloss It in Las Vegas and explaining the correct technique the products work amazing and they quickly correct RDS and can finish up to a Glossy finish without paint marring.

So with Gloss It one step i put 2 pea sized amounts on pad and a little pad prime, Pad prime is to stop dust from product drying and also Pad Prime is what i would call an Anti Marring product.

Application,

2 passes @ 600 rpm to spread product
2/3 passes with the machine ramped up to 2000rpm and after 2 or 3 passes making sure it doesn’t dry out.
LIFT OFF @ 2000RPM
Spray panel with Gloss enhancer and wipe,
Check for marks and then spray the panel with a light mist of Gloss enhancer and put machine back on panel @ 600rpm and then this time ramp up to 1200rpm and then after the same passes as before lift @ 1200rpm,
Do this again for 1000rpm and then 800rpm if needed.

This would correct paint to a totally acceptable level but i always refine more for maximum gloss.

Refined with

Gloss It Red and Meg's 205 @ 600rpm

Before,




During,
