After all, if you live in the US you probably haven't seen all the nooks and crannies of the R34.
After all, I AM Detailing is famous for not just washing, vacuuming out, and wiping down cars but for cleaning up the chassis, engine compartment, and more. These guys are thorough and their videos are incredible to watch.
The process starts with the Nissan Skyline GT-R being put on a lift, the wheels removed, and a technician cleaning the chassis thoroughly. We're willing to bet most of you haven't seen Godzilla's belly like this before.
After a nice wash the paint looks pretty good. But applying an iron remover in several rounds helps with serious contamination. From there, the Nissan receives paint correction, and it looks fantastic.
Then I AM Detailing applies PPF. We know this practice is controversial among enthusiasts, detailers, etc. with some claiming PPF actually harms vehicles and others arguing it doesn't if done properly. Let us know where you fall on that issue.
From there they laser clean the engine compartment, removing years of grime built up that doesn't come off just using a degreaser and scrub brush. All dressed up, under the hood looks ready for high-end shows.
Same goes for the body after the PPF is applied along with ceramic coating. The JDM icon is ready for the lucky owner to enjoy.
