Default 91 3000GT VR4 Original Single Stage!

This is my VR4. The paint was HORRIBLE. Just wanted to post the pix up since I got bored lol. It has been 5 months since it has been detailed! Original single stage paint that I spent numerous hours on.

I washed the car with dish soap so that it can strip off any old wax or oils on the surface. Clay bar with Clay Magic. All work on Rotary except wax.

- Meguiars M83 Speed Glaze + W8000 Pad @ 1500rpms(where paint is really bad)
- Meguiars M80 Dual Action Cleaner Polish + W8000 Pad@ 1800rpms(light oxidation)
- Meguiars ( I think it's M09 )... Machine Glaze+ W9000 Pad @ 1500rpms
- Meguiars Gold Class (Carnuba Based to give a dark color)
- Meguiars M21 (synthetic polymer to protect longer)

I would take my car out into the sun and take a picture but my car is on jackstands with no transmission lol.

Bone Stock. I was going to sell it but then I fell in love with the car over again haha. But as I'm getting a new input shaft bearing put in and getting the transmission rebuilt, I'm going gut the pre cats...actually I might just sell it and buy a down pipe. 3" single shot with hks canister. Boost controller because right now its @ 6-7psi. Get another boost guage + turbo timer. K&N FIPK!

Unfortunately I do not, because I never really intended on detailing it since I just wanted a snowboarding car. I got bored one day and decided to buff it out. I didnt have a camera anyways. Yeah and this paint is VERY soft. If using any microfiber it will scratch. Only high quality think and soft micro's won't harm it. Ohwell.
