M0nk3y Detailed: 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe - 04-17-2009, 08:06 PM

When this car arrived i knew it was going to be a tough job. In the rain in cloudy skies I could see swirls. I just didn't know it was this bad.

I had to hit it with all of my polishes that I have. The PG and SIP caused severe marring, but the 106FF and PO85RD cleared everything up and made it SHINE!

I couldn't get everything out, but I tried my best

Products Used:

Wash:
Meguiars Concentrated Shampoo
2800 PSI Pressure Washer
2 Bucket Method

Clay:
QD
Blue Magic Clay Bar

Correction:
Menzerna PG
Menzerna SIP
Menzerna 106FF
Menzerna PO85RD

Protection:
CG Ez-Creme Glaze
Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant
Dodo Juice Hard Candy

Wheels:
Meguiars D104 Degressor
Blue Metal Polish
Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Meguiars High Endurance Tire Shine

Funny, debadging was my first thought too.

I work on one just like that. Front bumper and valance are a PITA. Plus, the owner lets the bugs just etch away between details.

Yours looks great! Nice job. Thanks for posting.

Love the hood(?) reflection shot of the house.


Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It's good to be da King !!!

Thank you both, when I got the G35 shadow away from the trunk, it really looked clean

Thanks, yes those are hood shots. I wish I have a better camera, the paint was sooo slick and this camera never captures it

Great job, though, sir! That thing was wrecked.

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

Thanks, I used a PFW pad with PG and SIP. That created alot of marring as you can see.....

I used 106 with LCC White, and the PO85RD with Blue, and that right there cleared it all up. I loved it
