2007 350z detail + scratch removal

My partner Josh (celicalover) and i did this one a couple of weeks ago.
We got a call from a previous customer who said he had a scratch that needed to be removed so i went and ordered the touch up paint for it. The next week we went to work and gave it a full detail as well.

Exterior:
Wash: Griots in a foam gun + 2 bucket method
Clay: spot clayed with 4 star
Polish: M80 via makita
LSP: Opti-Seal
Wheels: NXT tech wax
Tires: No touch
Wheel wells: Megs Hyperdressing

Process for scratch removal:
prepped with 3m adhesive remover
applied touch up paint
wet sanded with 2000 grit
polished out with Diamond Cut via rotary

On to the pics...

Before:



Washing:


Scratch Removal:

Prep:

After Sanding:

Looks Awesome! Looks very wet for red!

The last pic on the bumper seems like it goes on for ever!

Wow amazing work on the scratch!

Can't believe the dealer would put an ad sticker on the paint

Re: 2007 350z detail + scratch removal

real nice work. when applying the touch up paint, how long did you let it dry before you begun the sanding?

Re: 2007 350z detail + scratch removal

Looks really nice from what I can see.

What kind of durability are you seeing from the Opti-Seal?
