Presidential Detailed: 2003 SUPERCHARGED G35

This is a return customer of mine, I detailed his white EVO a few months back and now hes got a new daily! This car looks very nice rolling down the road! I was surprised to find out how hard the clear was on this thing, it took two passes with M105/PfW at speed to even begin cutting. I ended up compounding the car twice to make sure there were no remaining swirls, and the owner requested a few scratches here and there to try and be buffed out. ENJOY!

: I have yet to install a water softner at my new home, so I run down the street to the coin-op for a spotless rinse after I am finished. No engine detail, no engine pics. No star filter, haha, I am assuming your referring to how the sun looks?

Re: Presidential Detailed: 2003 SUPERCHARGED G35

I have a G also and I always found the paint corrects like butter. Infiniti is know for how soft their paint is. Was the whole car a re-paint?

Re: Presidential Detailed: 2003 SUPERCHARGED G35

Hmm..I dont think the car has been repainted, except the hood. I just used soap and water for the Volks, they are literally brand new.
