1996 Inifiniti i30

Detailed this 1996 Infiniti i30 today. Over 140k on the ODO and the paint and interior reflected the mileage. This was hard work.

Interior cleaning consisted of a combo of 303 APC, Meg's Quick Out and Pinnacle leather/Vinyl cleaner. Finished up with 303 Protectant.

Exterior:

Clay with Sonus green
OC @ 1100 - 1700 - mulitiple passes on the hood, trunk, and other areas that needed it.
FPII @ 1100
4* UPP
DP tire gel
Armor All wheel wells

Befores














After so many passes of OC I lost count...




In progress....




After

Wow! Great work there! If you don't mind me asking how long and how much did you charge for that one?

I spent about 2 hours on Saturday washing, claying, and working on the interior. Today...about 7 hours polishing, sealing, 303 on the interior, windows, finishing up, etc.

I undercharge because I do this on the side simply because I love detailing. $150 with a generous tip. If I were doing this for my main income, I would've charged minimum $250-300.

Now that is a nice detail. What a change in the carpets. What was your process with those?

Very nice, the exterior looks wicked and the interior is very nice. I like the way the carpet look, I do love those stripes.

I agree with you, I've detailed some vehicles at no charge just because I want to. It's nice getting paid but it's the reaction of the owner that I love the most.

Very nice job...oh I too like the way the tires look and the taping job looks good.

Thanks for sharing.

<edit> where is the fence picture? I love those shots with the fence
