Heavily heavily customized G35

[bluej511]

Well long story short, after being stuck in traffic for 1:30hrs matt finally made it to my house.



Here is the process. This was for the car itself, the body kit was just repainted so we went over it with poli-seal by hand twice then #26



Wash: GC and 2 bucket method. Dried with absorber

Clay: Meguiars clay on Horizontal surfaces only, spot clayed some areas as well.

Polish:Optimum polish w/green pad @ 1400rpm x3-5, some areas white pad @1400rpm

Compound: On trunk only, OC w/yellow @1400-1900rpm x3-5, finished with OP/white @1400

Pre-LSPoli-seal on white @1400rpm, mostly to get rid of slight swirls/holograms from white/green pads.

LSP:Megs #26



Wheels: Hand washed with GC, he keeps the wheels spotless, inside the wheel as well.

Wheel Waxecided to try poli-seal on wheels and it worked amazing.

Tires:Black Magic Tire Gel (his stuff)



Interior:All treated with Optimum Protectant Plus.

Windows:Invisible Glass

Overall id say around 80-90 swirls/defects were removed.

More pics will come to follow once i get back from my trip next week, thanks to Matt for helping out. We started at around 12ish or so and finished at around 8ish. I should be getting some day/sun shots hopefully but its going to be raining all weekend.



Story behind the trunk: Its a used 03 trunk because Matt didnt want the stock spoiler so they traded, it was heavily heavily swirled and filled with holograms.

Nice work. I met the owner up here in Toronto last year and got a look at the car, it was in worse paint condition than your pics show, so I know what you had to deal with. Thumbs up!

Wow thanks Picus, yes he was in Toronto for a G meet or something, i didnt charge him much and he helped out a great deal so everything went smooth. He's going to be recomending me since he goes to a lot of car shows and what not.



Hopefully in the next few months i can spend another whole day on it and get it at least 95-98$ scratch free. I could have used OHC for the trunk i mean it was pretty beat.

Fantastic work, very impressive!



Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't modifying the engine of a vehicle highly frowned upon in France? I am from Belgium and know the police are absolute Nazis about that...

Yea its illegal in France but i live in Massachusetts now, id mod anyways even if it is illegal in france, theres always ways around things
