^ I love OB

 

 

Err... 18-20 hours of love.

 

Went through a similar process on my Black G35. The big challenge now is keeping the swirls to a minimim. Even drying with quality microfiber towels will scratch the Infiniti black paint. With black, you will definitely need to do a maintenance polish every six months or so.

 

Yeah, I've got the two bucket wash method, grit guards, and MF towels for drying.

I'll see in the spring how good it looks. I was hoping to do a clay/minor polish with M205 only once a year, but we'll see how the car looks in spring!

 

Its a love/hate relationship with OB. It looks terrible when not well maintained. But if you are into detailing and dont mind waxing it once a month they look beautiful. I love my OB, would not have any other color. And M205 is an awesome product, also a good wax to use for OB is Meguiars cleaner wax with a black pad.

 

you know what would be worth getting thats better than MF is Waffle Weave, I have used it since day one on my G and love it.

Waffle weave is a type of MF, I should have been more specific I'm using waffle weave MF drying towels.

Ok, here's some misleading pictures for you







Why misleading? Well, it wasn't sunny. I washed the car yesterday, a week after I just spent 18 hours detailing it, and found a nasty surprise.

You can see what I'm talking about here:

/
They appeared after I had detailed the car... another forum dedicated to detailing says it's possible the car was repainted and the solvents were improperly mixed, and that is what I'm seeing. I tried to get it out with M205 and a 4" white pad, and it didn't even make a difference.

Not noticeable in shade, but very noticeable under LED light and less noticeable in sunlight.

 

Nice!

 

nicely done. wth....do you think it was repainted? can you find out? led or no led lights i know it would bother me, ESP after all that hard work.
