The Nissan GT-R is a monster of a car. Its no wonder that its been lovingly nicknamed “Godzilla”. As GT-Rs have been know to tear up the track and put to shame even the most bespoke exotic while screaming off the line. But a technological masterpiece such as the GT-R also requires detailing during the driving season. The owner of this GT-R certainly knows how to properly maintain his vehicle. Being properly washed and dried has certainly paid off on this car’s paint, as it has very little in the way of paint imperfections. The detailing goal for this Nissan was to bring it back to its showroom condition. And so we began the process of dusting off Godzilla for his next rampage on the street.
