    This one was a "bait and switch" for a customer...:grinno: I was scheduled to do his G35 and he called and asked if it mattered what car he brought. He told me what the car was and I told him it was fine. He still wants the G35 done....maybe next weekend.



    The car was very dirty and I wasn`t sure what kind of condition the paint was in. The car stay outside 24/7 so I was pleasantly surprised after I got it washed that it was in pretty good shape. Minimal siwrling and very few water spots!! This was an exterior only detail as well.



    Process



    Wheels

    Megs WB

    EZ Detail brush

    Topped w/OS

    Tires

    Megs DG

    Topped w/OB through paint sprayer

    Wells

    Megs DG

    Topped w/OB though paint sprayer



    Paint

    Wash w/Dawn

    dried w/leafblower - there was a ton of "pot pourri" that was blowing out of the grill area as I was drying it. Turns out there is mesh below the grill that pretty much catches everything. There was a ton of leaves, twigs and bugs in there. Had to vaccuum it all out to get everything.

    Clay w/DP

    Poli-Seal w/orange CCS

    Topped w/OS

    Pulled the bug deflector off and polished it out with PlastX

    Topped w/OS

    Glass

    Polished w/KAIO w/white CCS

    AW

    Headlights

    I didn`t take any "befores" but I polished the headlights w/SIP

    Topped w/OS

    Not really happy with the "after" on the tire. I think I may have too much water in the OB mix
