These are just some of the photos from the recent work to Gareth's gorgeous & freshly imported EP3. I had two long days working on it, and the car was a pleasure from start to finish! (mainly ;) )
Day one was wheel refresh, arch liner and exhaust removal, underside and arch cleaning, preparation and protection
Day two was reassembly and detailing

Alloy wheels and tyres after indepth cleaning and pollishing between spokes
Image
Finished underside protection after steam cleaning, wire wheel removal of loose materials, 3 layers of 3M underseal and 12 hours + of curing
Image
Door shuts, door cards and interior cleaned
Image
Engine bay, shuts and bonnet underside all cleaned and protected
Image
Finished after many hours of cleaning, decontamination, claying, polishing and protection

A lovely example and sure to hold its value for years to come as it's so rare in this colour and condition. White JDM can look great with care but maintenance is vital to avoid fading and paint damage............the paint is that soft!

It looked sensational mate when you had done it and even now it still 'feels' freshly polished despite it being exposed to the elements.

100% better than when I picked the car up from the valet that the importer and a certain Skyline tuner had booked.

Looks production line fresh (probably better than it did back in the day!).

The pic of the underside looks like its in Black&White in the centre, messes with my head.

Very kind comments guys :) I'm very fortunate to be able to work on the cars that I do, and to be trusted with the owner's pride and joy. My way of showing recognition of this good fortune is to treat every car and client like I would want to be treated :grouphug: Another varied month of work coming up with long trips to Bedfordshire, Kent and Suffolk a few times & working on everything from classic Fords, ridiculous spec Jags and Mercedes too.

My threads & posts on here and other forums are limited at the moment due to time and broadband access/limits but I'll try to keep people updated where possible.

Cheers all :thumbs:
