Re: What do you recommend? My beat down G35... Help bring her back!

KAIO = zero cut. Good paint prep/cleaner, that's about it. Infiniti G paint is SOFT.. not hard. A PC should be able to do plenty of correction with a couple good polishes. I wouldn't go over an orange pad. I'd use all 4" pads - don't waste your time with 6"

EDIT: In case my wording was funny. I mean I wouldn't use more aggressive than an Orange Lake Country pad. No yellow.

Thanks Toyota!

I'm going to go do a basic wash, nothing fancy, since I dont got any of the good products left, but something so you guys can see it without all the dirt.... well.. less dirt


Then I'll post some even better ones, that show all the other crap.

Double negatives aside, some of your paint damage is beyond the basics and after being corrected shouldn't be a problem again as long as you keep up with some basic maintenance.

Posting pictures after a wash will help, some of the stuff is difficult to discern between being dirty and bad water spotting.

get some products and maintain with every other month a quick polish session - something like meguiars 66, poliseal, etc a good one step, then wax...your car should always be protected and looking its best!
