Black Nissan 350Z

[mose]

This guy contacted me a while ago and, because I was already booked out a month or so he very patiently waited and this was his weekend!



I have always loved these cars and was really looking forward to working on one....and.....to finally see if I actually fit in it! LOL!!



Pretty normal swirling for a black car. He applies the two bucket method and has tried to keep up with it using Zaino products. Had some sap on the spoiler that he couldn`t get off. I got it off but it left some etching.....but not much I could do about that. Didn`t want to do any sanding on the spoiler........ya never know how thin the paint is gonna be!

amazing! very good look !

[imported_Z33Driver]

Thanks for taking care of my Z. I`ll do my best to prevent those swirls from returning. I can`t wait to see how the Explorer will turn out after you work on it.

Looking great, are those rims factory?

Great job! Nice looking car.

[imported_weekendwarrior]

Beautiful car...the wheels are PERFECT for it.

[Scottwax]

Really nice job, looks swirl free in the afters. :)



I`ve found that typically, black Nissan/Infiniti paint is pretty soft, but I`ve run into a couple with really hard paint. What was Z`s paint like?

[mose]

Thanks for the comments guys!!



I don`t think the rims are factory. Maybe the owner can chime in if he looks here again.



Scotttwax: It was softer than I thought it would be. I started out with and orange CCS and SIP and was leaving micromarring. So I backed off to a white CCS w/106ff and it worked perfectly!! I was also havign issues with having a hell of a time getting the polish off once it was worked in. I finally relaized that I was using WAY too mch product!! Went to a few little drops on the pad per panel and it worked a heck of a lot better!!

No, they are not factory. They are the Nismo LMGT4. (http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=4170)

Those rims do not come stock on any model. The Nismo Z has these:
