Nigelp Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Some will appreciate this, others may think I wasted a day, I think it looks far better and was worth the time : I`ve taken several before and after photos, tried to get the same angle / lighting but its not easy. The roof was up on the first ones too so they are different because of that, but I think you still get the idea. As with most cars washed with a sponge (black especially), the paintwork was covered in lots of fine scratches which even after polishing still dull the paint. I removed most of them today and I think it looks much better for it . Photos are BEFORE : AFTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan73 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Nice job. Black is SOOO rewarding to clean properly.

Nigelp Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Used a PC, Menzerna polish variety of pads and Zaino Z2 Pro, Z5 and Z8. My other car is Black too, so I knew what I was letting myself into, but it just looks so good when clean that I think its worth the effort.

Pingu2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 looks nice - are they the same camera ? the white balance is completely different in before/after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelp Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 looks nice - are they the same camera ? the white balance is completely different in before/after? Yes same camera, different times of day but I dont know why its so different either . I didnt think I`d changed anything but obviously something is different..

Ebized Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Nice job there - the close up by the headlight shows the discreet flake of the Ebisu black - but I can understand it is easily mistaken for the older Kuro black. No matter, black and Rays are the best combo IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 black and Rays are the best combo IMO. Hell no. Black and GT4's are the best combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome plate Crappy tax disk holder lol, tax holder is on the other side. That's the shite RAC membership thing. 1 year free with car. As for the plate, there's a letter and two numbers missing. Besides most people don't know what the car is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
