Read the full story on Backfire News Just because the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 just became legal to import into the US doesn't mean they're all clean as a whistle. After all, these third generation Godzillas, the ones many revere as the best ever made, have been used outside this country for a quarter of a one get a full professional detailing, including laser and dry ice cleaning, is relaxing and educational. 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.

Ferrari F40 Detailing Goes Next Level
Read the full story on Backfire News A month ago we shared with you a video showing a Ferrari F40 getting detailed so thoroughly, it shows details about the supercar most people have never seen. Now part two is out and it shows the rest of the meticulous process along with the fantastic final results. In the end, you get to see the dream car in its full glory, which is quite the the process of getting there is still worth watching. After all, we've never before seen a Ferrari F40 with its doors taken off as a guy does paint correction on the inside panel. You also get to watch the carbon-fiber parts get fresh paint protection film. Just as interesting and maybe a little shocking is seeing the interior without seats and different trim pieces as it gets a through cleaning. Shown in the video are all kinds of nooks and crannies even F40 owners probably don't know, like when the air vent covers are removed. You also get to see just how Spartan the space is, blowing away assumptions people make that the F40 is a luxury vehicle of any sort. Enzo Ferrari and his team obviously focused on performance first. While the interior isn't devoid of all comforts, those are definitely secondary. Also featured in the video is all the chrome getting polished to a high shine as well as the wheels and tires being cleaned not just on their faces but on the backside that usually gets ignored. The faces also get nice and cleaned up for a fantastic presentation. Even the gas caps get all polished up, including in the threads. These detailers are incredibly focused on the smallest of details. Finally, the windows get PPF and the entire body is ceramic coated, helping to preserve all of the painstaking work performed. Considering this Ferrari F40 has been owned by Formula One legend Nigel Mansell, there's even more incentive to make it present well. Images via I AM Detailing/YouTube
