I recently acquired a Black 2007 Infiniti G35S. As far as I know Nissan/Infiniti is known to have a "soft" clear coat finish.
Here are some pictures of the current condition of the paint. The car has been garaged almost all its life. Pictures were taken with my Droid cell phone.

I have a Porter Cable 7336 with Edge 2000 Pads.
I was considering Megs m105/m205 but I think that m105 will be too strong for my paint especially since these cars have a rather "soft" clear-coat.
Now I'm turning to Menzerna kit with SIP?
At first these were the steps I was going to follow until I did some more research.
1. ONR Spray Bottle - Spray Car to lift contamination
2. Wash Car with ONR
(Should I degrease before washing when applying Polish, Wax, etc.?)
3. Clay Bar with (ONR solution or QD)
4. Tape Vehicle
5. Meguiar's (http://www.autopia.org/forum/autolink.php?id=1117&script=showthread&forumid=134) 105 w/ Yellow or Green Edge 2000 Pad (Not Necessary/Too Much Cut?)
6. Meguair's 205 w/ Orange or Blue or White Edge 2000 Pad (Replace With Menzerna?)
7. Menzerna (http://www.autopia.org/forum/autolink.php?id=417&script=showthread&forumid=134) PO85RD w/ White Edge 2000 Pad
8. Glaze Needed?
9. Sealant -Collinite #845 or Klasse AIO (http://www.autopia.org/forum/autolink.php?id=1011&script=showthread&forumid=134) or Blackfire Wet Diamond
- By Hand
10. Wax - P21S Carnauba Wax or P21S 100% or Lusso Oro
- By Hand
Let me Know what you think!
Thanks,
Adam
