2008 Black Infiniti G37

[rlguy28]

Here is a detail I did for a fellow forum member this weekend. It was hotter than hades and even working under a canopy was difficult. It was over 100 degrees! I was told it was only 3 months old so I had hoped maybe I could do a 1-step polish even though it was black. Boy was I wrong. This needed a a complete multistage paint correction to remove the paint defects: mainly swirls and hard water spots.



My Process:



Wash

Pressure wash to remove initial layer of dust/dirt

2 Bucket Wash /w Gritguards/lambswool mitt/Prima Mystique Car Soap

No clay required, paint was smooth



Wheels

Meguiars Wheel Brightener 4:1

Meguiars APC+ 4:1 on tires/wheel wells



Paint Correction

Prima Swirl on White LC pad @ 1700 rpm

Prima Swirl on 4" & 5.5"Orange lC pad @ speed 5-6 /w PC

Prima Swirl on White 4" & 6.5 "LC pad @ speed 5 /w PC

Prima Amigo on White 4" LC Pad @ speed 5 /w PC



Interior

Meguiars Hyper Dressing

303 Aerospace protectant

Prima Nero



Sealant

Prima Epic



Here are the Before Photos

It was actually much worse in person

Almost prepped for the test spot.

50/50 shot of trunk lid.

Another 50/50 shot.

50/50 of bumper. Condition wasn't as bad as the trunk.

Driver-side fender before

Another before of Driver-side front fender before.

And after

Before of rear quarter panel.

Another Before Close-up. Can you believe it was only 3 months old? That's black for you.

It was soft. I noticed faint micro-marring with an orange pad vs other cars such as the jet black 328i I did a while back. So I had to follow up with white pad with swirl and follow that with white pad and amigo.
