Detailed a pretty badly beat up G35X a couple weeks ago and thought i'd share it. Between the two panels that were polished and unpolished, the unpolished paint looked almost like a completely different color.
Customer hit me after he bought the car with 118k on it. Previous owner used it as a company car and didn't really care for it, or properly detail in the first few years. Current owner pretty much decided that it wasn't up to his level of care and wanted to get it back looking good again.
Anyways, onto the pics!
When the Car Showed up
Front end was really banged up after 125k highway miles.
Cleaning the Wheels
Shine!
Wash
Bugs were literally BAKED into the paint.
Lots of Swirls, RIDS, and bugs
Paint was VERY dirty.
Taped and ready for polish
Swirl pics Under the Halogens
Polishing Begun!
Bad Swirls
Passenger Side Complete
Outside Checking
Finished!
A very fun 24 hours of straight detailing to say the least, but the customer was very pleased!
Thanks for reading!

Notice a deeper shine applying Pinnacle after Blackfire? I've been using ONR to wash (gives it a great look on it's own) and then Blackfire afterwards. Have been debating lately if I should top it.Originally Posted by Wannabe6MT
