Had this writeup done a while back and forgot to post it here.
This is a brand new 2009 G3xS with only 1,000 miles. It was oringinally booked for paint correction on the back bumper only (to remove hazing and swirls induced by a hack
), but Mike the owner, (Great Guy:2thumbs
agreed to have it washed and waxed as well. Excuse the lack of pictures I was on a bit of a schedule and Mike had to get to a meeting so I tried to get as much done in short time.
so the story with this car is its a brand new 09 G37 that got hit while being parked. Owner took it to get buffed out, the hack that tried to fix the scratches threw compound on it and hit it with a rotary. made a mess and the haziness was bothering the customers eyes. He happened to find me on the g35 forums and scheduled an appointment to fix what the hack had ruined. On the phone we discussed the worry of it having the infamous self healing clearcoat. So i pulled out all my polishes and pads and got ready for the worst. well anyways what you see below is me fighting with the either rock hard or magic clear coat. enjoy

So for the next 5 pictures below we see swirling, hazing and holograms caused by improper compounding with a rotary and wool pad.
Picture below is after hitting the area with 85rd on a white pad. Didnt do anything to the swirls, fixed the hazing and holograms just a little. So I tried again...
Tried out my favorite combo, LC Orange pad with Menz SIP, better results but swirls not completely gone...
Second hit on the area and it looked alot better. except for the little hazing SIP left, so after hitting the problem spot with SIP twice (tried power gloss on yellow pad and the deeper scratches) then hitting the rest of the bumper with SIP/orange pad, i removed the hazing with PO85rd on a white pad. and these are the results...

-The hazy spots you see on the hood are not paint defects they are spots on the ceiling that have been patched-

SORRY for the blurry pics
Hey Mike!
icture: Showing him where the defects were and how it clear the reflection looks now
Those are not holograms in the picture below. They are the reflection of the reflection of the sun on the cars paint, shining off onto the fence. (I think that made sense)

As always enjoy. All comments and questions are welcome
