So I'm waiting to get my UDM but my friend wanted a basic detail for his G35 so I said of course. He has an awesome car but it's NEVER clean which is a shame because it's a hot car. It for sure took a LOT of elbow grease but I think the out come was pretty darn good for doing it all by hand.



Process....



wash with dawn

clayed car

Zaino Z-2

Megs QD wipe down

P21s carnauba

Zaino Z-8 Grand Finale Seal wipe down



WHEELS & TIRES

Eagle one nano wheels cleaner

Clayed wheels

Wheel wax

"Looks wet, no mess" tire dressing



ENGINE

Black Magic engine clean & shine

wheel wax on plenum

Eagle one nano protectant

"Look we, no mess" on hoses

Megs QD on inside of hood





So here are some before pics.

Here's what the wheel center caps looked like before. Old water spots that would not come off just washing.

Here's the back wheels before. Neither of us thought the wheels would be able to get any shine to them as they had been neglected for a LOOOONG time.

No reflection what so even in the lip of the wheel.

After lots of work.

Looks great!



When you said all by hand, I was thinking some kind of paint correction or oxidation or what have you.....:grinno:



Glad to hear it was more simple. :goodjob
 
Hot car, that stance is killing it though...



I can't believe you did those wheels by hand, they were beat. Why would he let them get to the that condition?
 
Mother's Powerball on those wheels next time. Get some Mother's metal polish and go to work. If you think they look good now, wait till you try that...
