This fine example of a GTR is running Severn Valley Motorsport's 650R kit so has the power where it counts, but the paintwork was looking very tired and uncared for so the car was booked in for an Enhancement Detail to remove the majority of the swirling from the paint and to also get some solid protection down.
The car was dropped off to me early evening and was worked on well into the early hours of the morning!!
A few before shots:

Wheels were dealt with first:

Autobrite's Very Cherry @ 4:1 applied liberally:

This was worked with the EZ Brush on the rear of the wheels:

Then various Valet Pro brushes on the spokes and calipers:

CYC Wheel Woolie was used on the arches:

Then a freak hail/rain storm hit for about 30 seconds...

Next the car was foamed with Concours Car Care's Tutti Frutti:

Bilt Hamber Surfex at 10:1 was used to work the intricate areas around the car:

Next the car was rinsed and washed with AF Lather, Car Pro Mitt and Zaino Bucket system:

IronX was up next on the paintwork and wheels:

Then rain hit again, but the car was:
- Fully treated to AutoSmart Tardis to remove any tar deposits
- Re-snow foamed to remove any traces of IronX and Tardis
- Moved inside ready for claying
The claying stage was completed with Citrus Bling as lube and the Auto Finesse Clay which I keep coming back to after trying other brands!

Then pat dried with various towels:

and the Aeolus 901X was used to remove water from tighter areas such as around wing mirrors, wheel bolts, petrol cap etc.

The paintwork was in a rather shocking state, and to make matters worse it had been polished (badly) previously, with burn through evident on a few panel edges:

After trialling a few combos, I was achieving a great level of correction for an enhancement detail. Given that I didn't have time for a two stage polish given limitations around hours and size of car, I aimed for the best correction possible from a single polishing set, whilst still finishing down perfectly to avoid any hologramming on the flat black paint!

As you can see, it's not perfect, with deeper defects remaining, but the colour, depth and gloss to the paint are much improved!
