Does your 2003.5 Sedan's paint look THIS good?

My friend runs a professional detailing company, does paint correction etc; he just made my 03.5 G35 Sedan look brand new again! I couldn't be happier and if anyone is in Ottawa, Ontario PM me I'll give you his contact info.

Comments are welcomed; I took the shot just after the sun set, bracketed 3 shots on a timer. thanks for lookin!

What's involved in his paint corrections is it a claybar plus something else? I get the same result using a claybar about once a year...spill the beans

claybar only removes dirt on the surface; he compounds the car with a rotary so the actual paint surface has NO swirls in it whatsoever. My car looks the same way without any wax at all.

Looks great, but did he re-paint the front? Almost impossible that there are no chips etc after 5 years. Unless the car has very few miles (or photoshopped out).

I photoshopped out the chips. there aren't too many; its only got 108,000 KILOMETRES and doesn't see much in the way of long trips etc.

I wish I could repaint the front though, it'd be mint
