Black Nissan 350z

[maesal]

Hello !!
This weekend I detailed an amazing 350z solid black. Some before pics:

Just medium swirls :

The hood, in carbon fiber, also had swirls:

The roof was in better shape:

After cleaning wheels and wheels wells. In the shade, the car looked amazing:

After claying, I started polishing the hood. I used Menzerna Final Finish PO85RE5 and blue Propel Advanced with my Metabo:

Is not easy taking 50/50 in carbon fiber:

I applied Collinite 845 to the hodd looking for the maximum protection:

Finished:

I polished the mirrors with Einszett Chrome and Metal Polish and Wolfgang applicator:

The surprise:

I decided in that point that I should remove the swirls but not trying to remove the random scratches. I used Propel pads and 3m Fast Cut Plus and Menzerna 85RE5. After that, I applied Prima Amigo and Zymöl Glasur.
The results on the bumper:

The left wing:

50/50:

Right wing:

Nice hood:

Buffing with care in this small areas:

In this gif, the 1 shows the before and the 2 when I stopped the Metabo to show when I consider that the abrassives are broken down:

The rear right wing:

Results:

Some pics that the owner sent me yesterday:

Thanks for looking !!

First off fantastic job, excellent recovery on some bad swirl marks. How was the carbon fiber to work with, I have never had to work on that and was curious what its like.

The pictures the owner sent are amazing, something like out of a calendar. Excellent work:bigups

Thanks mates !!
The carbon fiber was easy to work. I decided using a soft pad with a finishing polish via rotary and check the results. The clear was soft and just in one pass the results were fine.
