Horizon Detailing: 2006 G35 Coupe
VIDEO IS AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE WRITE-UP
Sorry about so many write-ups guys, I have a bunch more but I'll wait a little to write them up, this is the first time I've had free time in a while.
I forget how I met this guy, but he was a really cool guy who just picked up a G35 coupe and was looking how to take care of it and for opinions on mods(G35 is my favorite car, I know a lot about it), so I helped him by corresponding through e-mails, and we eventually met to detail his car. I love this car :applause2:

Ok, so this was exterior only, the owner had all the products to take care of the interior, and since I recommended them, he had all the right ones. So my main concentration was the paint. I did this over 2 days(planned for 1), but the first day was so bad with thunderstorms that the mixture of lack of time and rain messed me up, so I came back to touch up a couple spots I didn't have time to get to in the first day. Anyway, everyone that knows me knows that I mix polishes, I love it. This detail was no different, about 40% P203S and 60% PO85RD was my choice to knock out all of the swirls and knock back the RIDS a good amount without hologramming.
Anyway, onto the pics:
Before: Notice how the paint looks dark, not all that reflective.
That's me claying the car:
Reason for the lack of reflectiveness:
I debadged the G35 for him, and also installed new clear corners:
Here's what I was dealing with all day the first day :waiting:
The bucket was about a little bit past the grit guard with water, then after 15 minutes of rain, check out how much the rain added to it. It was POURING:
Afters:
MONEY SHOT :applause2:
Here's the video, please don't mind the Concourso curing:
