This was my other half nissan skyline GTS-T. When we picked it up it was in a bit of a sorry state, it was ment to be black but it had alot of swirls, like a sponge had been dropped on the floor then washed the car with it, also it had some sort of milkyness in the paint like staining so it was more of a grey colour, i just got my g220 so it was the perfect car to test it on, i couldnt really make it any worse so i thought what the hey.
The skyline turned out ok, wasnt the best correction but seriously improved on what it was and it was my first time with the g220, if the skyline was still around (nothing bad happend to it my other half decided to turn scooby) i would of corrected it fully.
Heres the before pics

There were still some swirls and rds but i got rid of most of them, pretty good for a first attempt imo.
Next was the wheels, then were cleaned with billberry wheel cleaner and a soft wheel brush then rinsed

next was the rear bumper this had some quite bad oxidisation so abit more agressive approach was needed, i used the sonus yellow pad and a more agressive cutting polish

I think the skyline turned out really well, it could of been improved alot more but i ran out of time, not bad for a first attempt though and imo much improved.
