2008 G35S Sedan in Garnet Ember and 2006 coupe in Laser Red

I showed up at the client location at 7am. Both cars to be done in one day. Exterior only on both.

The 08 sedan has about 9k miles. Mostly wash induced marring. Sorry no before pics. Clear bra on the entire front and approx 30% of hood and fenders. The Garnet Ember is a lovely shade of red w/ some nice flake.

Process:

Wash with Z7 using 2BM and sheepskin mitt.
Clay with Zaino Clay and 50/50 of Z6 and distilled water.
Wheels via P21s gel and various brushes.
Tires/wells w/ AM 777 APC.
Presta 1500/Green wool/Flex 3403 @ 1600.
ZPC/PC6/White CCS
2x of ZFX'd Z5pro
Z8
Tires got Z-16.

Notes:

Total time was approx 5 hours.

Claying picked up a decent amount of bonded contaminants on the rear of the car.

I attempted to use ZPC via PC6/green CCS but it was taking 2-3 passes to get the defects out.

After pics of the sedan:












The 2006 coupe in lazer red had approx 50k miles. The paint was dull in appearance due to the swirls.

Process:

Wash with Z7 using 2BM and sheepskin mitt.
Clay with Zaino Clay and 50/50 of Z6 and distilled water.
Wheels via P21s gel and various brushes.
Tires/wells w/ AM 777 APC.
2-3x Presta 1500/Green wool/Flex 3403 @ 1600-1700.
ZPC/PC6/White CCS
2x of ZFX'd Z5pro
Z8
Tires got Z-16.

Notes:

Total time was 7 hours.

Claying took about double the time on this coupe then the larger sedan. On the rear of the car, I had to flip or kneed the clay bar 3 times.

Presta 1500/green wool-on the first pass 70% of the defects where removed. Most of the painted surfaces took another pass, deeper defects took 3 passes.
