black G Coupe detail today

my buddy has been askin me to detail his OB G35 Coupe for a while and so I decided thursday would be a good day to do it.

sorry I dont have any before pics to compare to, but There was a LOT of heavy swirls and scratches. I had to use heavy cut compound with an orange / yellow pad in order to take out some of the scratches. This left me with LOTS of paint marring and holograms which then needed to be polished out. (it took longer to correct the marring caused by the compound than it did to do everything else)

overall Time was right arround 20 hours. (yeah I know... lol)

sorry for the horrible picturs in the dark garage, I didnt finish untill 5:00am. (maybe if i waited another hour the sun would have been up and I could get better pics :BOWROFL

Yikes, you need some new polishes. Did you do any alcohol wipe downs? That is a ton of marring.
