BlackedoutLT3 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I got a 1988 300zx Turbo with only 12k orignial miles on it to detail. Car was in really bad shape. Been sitting outside under a cover for a long time. But then for last 4-5 years half the cover blew off and it was exposed to the sun and weather. This is how I got it before anything So started off with two bucket wash and this was the after. AS you can see it cleaned up just a little bit. So pulled the car into the garage. I tapped off a section to start testing. After 4 steps. 2 Paint Correction and 2 Paint Finish this was the result. Still needed a little more work but really cleared up the oxidation and swrills. Before and after test section This is a before and after of the hood. This is after about 8 steps total. 4 of each Paint Correct and Paint Finish. Also this is before any sealant or glaze or wax OOOKKK now to the finished product. 8 Steps of polish, Paint Sealant, Glaze, Wax. Did all tire tressing in VRT (Tire Shine wasn't out when I did this). Also cleaned up the engine bay with VRT and In and Out Spray. Before and after of engine bay Edited July 21, 2014 by BlackedoutLT3 Michael@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimitedDodge Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Killer job! I don't think that is the original motor. I don't believe they ever came with a v8. My first car was a 1984 and it had a V6, I remember thinking how cool it was that it talked when you left lights on or door open. Shortly after it got annoying, but it was a fun car.

BlackedoutLT3 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Yeah it is all original. Its actually says V6 turbo, just looks like V8. Edited July 23, 2014 by BlackedoutLT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
