Had this customer contact me a few weeks ago about getting his Infinity done. He said that when ever the sun shined on the paint, the paint looked milky. My first thought was oxidation, but said it looked like it was heavily swirled. Then he proceeds to tell me he just had it detailed two weeks prior. I decide to meet the guy, as he is heading to the Mall of GA to pick something up. When I first see the car from a distance, it looks fine. Once I get out and put my light on it to look at the condition....wow....just wow. Worse case of micro marring I have ever seen. Someone tried to wet sand the whole car and failed....failed miserably.



Anyways, someone screwed this guy. So I tell him, he came to the right person and it can be fixed. Well after finally getting some good weather went out to the middle of nowhere today to get this car back to looking like it should. This should note that, you get what you pay for. Cheap detailers = cheap work. Cheap detailers = expensive work for better detailers to fix. Note the before pics...the whole car looked like that...so it was kinda pointless getting a ton of befores as the paint looked the same all the way around. So anyways...after all the work, corrected the sever micro marring and got the guy roughly 98-100% correction all the way around.

Damn good work, the difference is amazing! :bow



I had a 335 like that last fall, looked like the dealer buffed it with a brillo pad. Like you said, hacks make business for us.
