Nice mirror finish!!!

 

I got mine at autogeek.net. I also bought supplies there and at detailedimage.com. Properautocare is another store I recently found out about and it has free shipping with $55 purchase. Shop around and see whats best for you. I know some of these stores have coupon codes too.

The one toymachine listed is also a good deal.

Thanks, it was in really bad condition, I hated washing it because I could see all the swirls and marring.

Thanks dood

 

Looks incredible! I wish I had a fkn garage..

 

Aren't basically all g35s this swirled.. I know mine is.. Just due to our super soft paint.. I imagine most Gs are swirled and scratched unless they were polished that is.

 

I will not deny it, having a garage is pure ecstasy . I worked out all these minor fixer uppers I had with my G that I hadn't done in two years. Having a garage now is the reason why I even polished it.

I would say they are because I found the paint to be really soft while polishing but I still had to use more aggressive pads where deep scratches were found.

Also, they say to use a sheepskin mitt and Waffle Weave Microfiber towels to avoid swirls. I used both of these methods and my car still looked like crap. They say most of the swirls come from drying the car.

If you have a good car wash shampoo with lots of suds you provide a barrier between the mitt and the clear coat thereby preventing scratches. Having worked my *** off in polishing this car I did not want to dry it my Waffle weave microfibers. So I purchased the Nomad power sprayer and use only Deionized water for a spot free wash. I have a RODI filtration where I store DI water.

 

In case anyone does not know what a Nomad power sprayer is, here are some good youtube videos...

I was just looking at products and pads you used and you went pretty aggressive! my Griots DA and Pads just got here.. I am going to start mine.

But you think Orange pad with 105 was necessary?

Also do you know if a Black pad I can use for wax? in its description it says finishing polish or a sealant.. Nothing about wax..

Products I have are M105 and M205 and HD Uno I am thinking I will try HD Uno on a Orange pad because I dont think its aggressive as M105

 

I wish my IP color stood out like that. How much is it for a detail like that? I literally do my mini "detail" of washing the car, drying, then waxing it.. I can still see scratches when I look at an angle and I know it's from me using those cheap microfiber cloths from walgreens

 

Could be anywhere from $100-250 or more from a professional detailer who knows what there doing. If you get a low price on a polishing job like this there probably not any good.

 

looks great!

 

Wow that before is scary. Nice to see the G brought back to life.

 

Sorry toymachine, I haven't checked these forums because I've been busy. To answer your questions if its not too late already, I would say Orange pad with 105 is dependant on how bad your scratches are. The best thing to do (and they preach this in detail forums) is to try a small 1'X1' section and see what works best for your paint. I asked the same questions and what they told me is that nothing is set in stone. Some people find that a white pad with m105 works for them others said an orange pad with m105 worked for them. Start with least aggressive and go from there. Some people even said that a gray pad worked better than a red pad for finishing ( I found this to be true in my case).

For wax I would opt for a red or blue pad.

Paky, I detailed my car some years ago by a professional and paid about $380. However, his prices went up since then.

Thanks

Thanks, I've gotten compliments when I'm at the gas station.
