2004 Black G35 Coupe

So I decided to take another crack at polishing the G with the Cyclo and Automagics new "Risk Free" System. www. automagic.com Well the first time I used it about 2 months ago, I had a problem with marring using the 3 step method with the pad a polish combo Automagic says to use. Well I've done a lot of research about detailing the infiniti paint and come to found, all of us agree, IT BLOWS!!!

Anyways knowing that the problem is that the paint is super soft and marrs reall easy, I tried something I haven't seen on the forums yet. What I did was in the compounding phase I used the Automagic orange pad (yellow pad for the other guys) like the directions start out. BUT instead of waiting for the compound to break down, I switch pads right in the middle to the next step down to complete the compounds break down to save time of compounding twice like some others have suggested. After I finished that coumpounding method, I wiped her down and polished with step 2 of Automagics resk free system with the finishing pads not the polishing pads like they were saying. Followed that up with Banana Magic #73 from auto magic (this stuff freakin rocks!!!!) (also used clay magic after the wash before all of this. Anyways hers how it turned out:

Re: 2004 Black G35 Coupe

great job...yes infiniti paint sux...i did a g35 coupe the other week and even my softest towels were causing the pain to marr...the detail took me twice as long as i expected just from having to wipe up so carefully...and final polishing took forever to not leave holograms...

Re: 2004 Black G35 Coupe

Glad to see you finally found autopia!

The G looks pretty damn good! Nothing better than black when it's clean!

Thanks to you I was able to get the cyclo with the right stuff! Man it was a beast to finally get, but it does feel good to finally get it right.
