2014 Infiniti Q60 - A Miracle Detailing - Abused by previous owner

[Merlin]

Not every vehicle is coating worthy and this was one of them. It was pretty rough on arrival.
The client "bought it for a good price" knowing the paint had been abused by the prior owner.
IMHO Corrected & polished to the best it could be (PTG constantly measured to insure safety)

After correction and polish I used OBSSSSD Paint Sealant for the LSP. IMHO It came out sweet!

Trunk Before - Yes, it was scary!

Trunk After - A soothing pool of calm water.

Very nice. Great job on getting that black paint back to better than new.

What compound and polish did you use? Machines?

Ha, guess I better look at what adjectives and accolades have already been used in the thread. Guess I’m copying Ron tonight.

Nice work as always, Merlin. That paint was hammered.

What a save! Beautiful work. What did you use for jeweling, or, final polish stage?

Spousal abuse, animal abuse and paint abuse should all be illegal!
