Good evening everyone,

Introducing the Infiniti G35 Coupe. In all honesty I simply love Pearl White. The flake is just fantastic. This particular flakey coupe had it's share of swirls but thankfully only needed a one step polish to clear it up. Oddly enough I didn't have issues capturing the defects on this particular brand of white.

I hope you enjoy the detail.

BEFORE

All in all when I first took the car in it looked in alright condition. There were 3 spots where a lot of tree sap had accumulated. I apologize for not having those pictures. I attacked that area by using a heat gun which gave the sap a little more give and then I simply used isopropyl and cleaned it up with clay then one step polished. Aside from the tree sap you'll notice a significant amount of swirling.































DURING

Test Panel. I was lucky enough that after bumping up to Intensive Polish to my surprise removed most if not all the swirls from a single pass with Sonus Blue Finishing Pad. A IPA wipe down was used to check my work and there were no swirls. The rear trunk area where the Infiniti emblem was, I used Meguiars 205 and a wax applicator and it cleared it right up. I found using a machine in that area too cumbersome and it missed a lot of the smaller areas.




50/50


Cleared up.

AFTERS

Here are the afters inclusive of one coat of Collinite 476s. Yes the protection and beading of 476s are oh so very addicting.
