Detailed a G today

I posted up a thread in the Northeast section to offer my detailing service to locals or anyone willing to make the drive to me. Just figured I would post a few shots of my work of bombaclothras g35 coupe. I am no photographer so don't flame me for the shots lol. It came out great and looks even better in person! If anyone is interested, PM me and we can work something out. Anyway... here's the pics!!

Note: all the spec's you can see in some of the pics are all pollen. We had a pollen advisory in affect today. I know... weird lol

Sorry for the no shirt lol. It was 94 today and insanly humid/hot.

looks really good man!

maybe next time you should try to remove the swirls and imperfections with a porter cable. It would come out much better!

Yeah I have used porter cables before and I find it to be so harsh on the paint, especially infiniti paint since it's so soft. I did a three step process and it comes out really well and for the most part all the swirls have been removed. Takes more time but I think it looks really good. Plus, with the heat today the power kept going on and off so it would have beenhard to get that done lol

Thanks for all your comments fellas!

i said for the MOST part they have been removed. I tried my best working in 98 degree weather for 6 hours

Plus, im sure as you know, black is one of the toughest colors to remove all swirls and imperfections. I have owned a black car for 4 years and worked on many as well.

I have own black cars and were able to remove swirls and scratches. Also when you say you remove most of them. Did you do more work after you took this picture. Cause then I would belive you. But if you didn't do anymore work. Then thats alot of swirls left on the car.

Yes, after I finished I pulled it back into the garage after noticing some swirls in the pictures and the sun and removed them

I have to agree there are a lot of swirl marks on there... i have decided i am too scared to use a P/C .... so i have decided that i am going to just let a pro do my car once every 1.5 years, so the pro BETTER use a good P/C...

Car still looks good, but i would not pay more that 45 dollars for that work....

Sorry if you think that is unfair... but it just looks like a wash and wax to me,....

In that case, you may wanna list those pics so that people can see the work and pay you a fair amount....

What did you use, to remove the swirl marks?? w/o a P/C?

Sorry everyone. I worked for 6 hours on this car and did my best I could for what I had

I don't have any pics of when it was finished completly after I took it back in because it got too dark and he picked up his car

Six hours isn't even that long, I'll spend 8+ with the aid of a porter cable. I just don't see how any significant amount of swirl removal could have been accomplished.
