Black..............

I recently bought a used 2008 Black G35S 6mt sedan.
I bought her at night. Big Mistake.......

The car's really nice, but the paint is F'd UP !
Nicks all over the front.
I know I can't fix them and I'm fine with that.

Just looking for the 'BEST' route to get her back as good as I can and then maintain her for about 3 years when I'll move on to another ride.

I planned on doing a Clay, Polish and Wax in the next week or two.

What do the other owners or Detailers do for Black cars/Gs ?

If you don't mind me asking, what does a detail like this usually go for ?

Too bad you're in PA and I'm in LA, CA....

A two step polish and interior is 300-600 bucks depends who you find.

If you have tons of rock chips on your front bumper nothing will fix it, only thing is repainting it.

Usually about 300, I think that's about what I did for that G35. Send me a PM if you need a detailer in your area and I'll get back to you with a couple guys and you can shop around for prices.

Remember, with detailing, you get what you pay for. Cheap guys will F your car up more than it was before they touched it.
