Just had my 8 year old G35x detailed :)

She still looks good for an old girl with 84,000 miles

Immaculate inside and out. Fully stock except for Intake and exhaust.

I had the detailer apply the Cquartz UK ceramic paint sealer, wasn't cheap but should be well worth the shine and paint protection for up to 2 years.

84,000 miles is nothing she isn't old yet. Keep looking like this and you'll never need a new car.

You wouldn't happen to have taken before pics would you? Looks great.

I'm thinking of doing some restoration as well. My paint is in pretty great shape for 11 yrs old, but some swirling and clear coat fade (on spoiler) are present. Clear is still in tact tho (it's just lost shine), so I know it can be restored. Just wondering what your paint was like before so I can decide if this is an easier option.

Looks fantastic. How much does a detail job like this cost?

Sorry no before pics but it looked pretty bad lol. This guy put in two full days of work on my car but it was worth it.

About $400-$500 depending on how bad it is. It cost me that much because I opted for the ceramic coating. Without the ceramic coating it would probably have been closer to $250-$300.

Took it to my boy out in Long Island. There is no price set in stone since each car is different, but if you are willing to take it out to him he can give you an estimate after examining your cars paint and interior (if you want the interior done as well)

What is his company name? Im on LI and I have the same exact car (black 07x with every package, even tech which i rarely see) and i was going to get it professionally detailed this spring (probably by LI Detailers/631 coatings in farmingdale). They gave me an estimate months back and offered the ceramic treatment but i dont think im going to go with that.

My car is in need of a paint correction esp. on the front end (i even got a new front bumper it was so blasted it looked like someone drove behind a sand trailer everyday).

Here is their estimate.

Wow that's a lot of money for a detail.

Thinking of getting one done. Wonder if I can find one cheaper. I have a lot of paint swirls, some scratches, etc.
