I've been pretty fortunate to have some pictures taken of my car by some of our great photographers on our local 350z and G35 message board and I wanted to start repaying them somehow. I've always liked my friend Blackies G35 but being black and knowing how fast black gets dirty, it's never had the shine that only a black car can have. I ended up having a few free hours today so I told Blackie I could give him a mini detail which would just be a wash, clay and wax hence it only taking a few hours. Since I wasn't polishing the car, I knew I wouldn't get it looking as good as it would if it was polished but I figured it would still look really good as it hadn't had this much attention in a looong time. I forgot to take before pics but the paint was for sure tired and didn't have any "pop" to it at all. So the car was washed, clayed and then a coat of Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0 was used as it does a decent job of concealing minor swirling. Then I put a coat of Blackfire Midnight Sun. Here's the after pics, the reflection was AMAZING and for sure had it's "POP" back! I also waxed his wheels which REALLY brought them to life WAY MORE than I thought it would. We were very happy with the outcome considering it was a quickie detail.










There you have it. Not too bad for not even being polished.

 

mint!

 

those saleen wheels look great... makes me wanna cop a set.

only thing id do if I was him was to get the G35 center caps, have him paint them gloss black but leave the emblem chrome and slap those on... if possible.

 

can believe it wasn't polished looks great.

 

Great work!
