Up for detail is a G37 with heavy marring and dealership negligence. Front bumper was repainted and funny enough as the easiest to correct. Ample improperly applied touchup paint where the dealer simply dabbed paint expecting it to gloss. Paint was by far the fussiest to work with, hence the 3 step correction and ultimate Opticoat application. This detail gives me nightmares.

awesome work! You say the detail was nightmarish, but I couldn't find the reason why? Finicky paint? Hard or soft paint? Outside weather?
 
Awesome work man, my sister has the same car and I will be detailing it later this spring down in FL.

Love that last sun shot!

Hard paint, possible sticky/self healing paint in certain sun panels. I could take away 75% of the swirls but RIDS and deep scratching just wouldnt come out with everything I had.

I did reading between breaks and it seems alot of people just have so much variability when they do these types of cars. Of course it was Black. I swear 50% of my details are black paint.
