Another Makeover

Hey guy, well here is another car I did that was an incredible makeover, this time on the outside. This is my sisters boyfriends car, 2007 350Z, Black. This was the worst new car paint I had ever seen, the car is brand spaken new, but the paint was full of swirls, water marks , and some scratches, you would really have to had seen it, but take my word it was bad. I don't now what or how this car got this way but the dealership definitely neglected it. It took me a total of 9 hrs to do it, and I only did the outside. I use to think I wold never buy a black car, but after doing this one I changed my mind, the results were amazing, again I surprised myself, i guess I'm getting pretty good at this detailing stuff. But I owe it all to AG and the great products they carry, anyway lets get on to the pictures.

Process:

Wash: NXT, Shmitt, and Foam Gun. Dried with Blower and PB SG and Purple Cobra MF

Clayed: DP Clay and DP Lube

Polished: Optimum Compound and Edge Yellow Pad with DA on 6 followed by Menzerna FPII and Orange Edge Pad with DA on 5.

The paint was that bad on a new that I had to use those combos to only get 90% of the defects out, the rest need a high speed or wet sand. But I was very impressed with the OPT. Compound, long work time and work perfect even in the sun, and of course Menzerna is always a life saver probably my favorite line, never failed me once.

Waxed: Pinnacle Soveran x 2 and wiped down with Megs. UQD

Windows: Stoners IG

Wheels: Wiped down with Megs. UQD and dressed tires with Megs. Hot Shine Gel.

I'm posting the after on another thread.

Awesome job!! Great turnaround! Love the pic with the reflections off the passenger side mirror. Big difference in the front bumper/grill area too......sharp reflections now! Great job all around.

Looks good, those are some fine vehicles. Really like the reflection of the clouds on the hood. Job well done.

Thank you for sharing.
