g35 brought from the dead

Received a call from a gentleman I spoke to last year about detailing his Silver corvette(the one I just finished). He said he had a friend with a G35 that was in very poor condition, paint swirls, lots of scratches ect. The car was in worse shape than I could imagine, I was expecting a regular one step polish, but that idea went out the door. He said there was no real time limit within reason, so off to work I went with it. I will let the pictures do the speaking in this case.
The Process
Rims were cleaned with Megs WB, then AG CWC, then iron x.
Tire cleaned with AG CWC along with the wheel wells
Clayed with car with Exclusive Blue clay (which only lasted this detail)
Compounded and polished the car using 2 and 3 steps with various products as the humidity was giving me all kinds of problems
Before Shots
Awesome “buff job” by someone else


Don’t forget, the car was dirty still and you can still see the buff job.


And the awwomeness continues


Dirty wheels


Some various before shots



Really bad bumper repair/respray




Half a panel’s worth of clay, yikes


A few 50/50 shots of the left fender


Reverse angle



Finished up

Door handle not looking so good
