This job was only a 1-step correction)basic) exterior detail, and with Nissans clear being relatively hard I was only able to get a small amount of correction even when using M105/yellow polishing foam using the KBPCM. Luckily this car was very well maintained, so it only added to the cleanliness. Even though the customer was only paying for a 1-step correction I found myself fighting for that extra little bit of correction.



Before.

I`m surprised you let someone mountain bike all over the hood after your detail.:faint:;)



Super slick detail though!!!

Did you get to detail that green Z in the background? It looks sick!

Looks great--awesome for a 1 step.



I`m a little confused by Nissan/Infinity clears. Some say they are hard to rock hard, some say they are soft :nixweiss.
