Hey all,



Here is a 2008 Infiniti G35 with 40k miles I did today. I had to drive 1.5hrs to get to the clients place down in Cincinnati, Ohio - so I didn't start until about 9am so I was kind of on a time budget to get it done, & drive home. Ended around 5:45pm. Sorry for the lack of pictures but like I said I was kind of in a rush. I didn't get any before or interior shots.:doh



The owner drives the car 130miles a day, and runs it through the tunnel wash once in a while; surprisingly the car was in pretty good condition swirl/scratch wise, but the front bumper was FILLED with rock chips...



Items used:



* Duragloss #902

* Blue Magic Clay

* P21S TAW

* P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner

* Various brushes

* Grout Sponges

* Makita 9227C

* Z16 Tire Gloss

* Z8

* Z6

* Opti-Seal

* LC Flat Pads

* M205

* M105

* Detailed Image's All Purpose MF's

* Detailed Image's Waffle Weaves

* Meg's Last Touch

* 303 Aerospace Protectant

* 70% IPA

* Top of the Line's Tire Cleaner



I was going to use Z5pro as my LSP but forgot it at home, so I applied 2 layers of Opti-Seal with a coat of Z8 on top of it with a final wipe down of Z6. I thought this combo left a pretty decent gloss/depth in that particular color.



Well here are some of the afters. Sorry about the brightness/contrast in some of the pictures; Luckily the client let me use his camera to snap some. Don't mind the wrong date on the pictures.

Thanks guys,

Nice job Andy. One question, with 2 coats of OS, why did you top it with Z8? Oh, 2nd question, does Z8 give a better pop than OS?

Thank you Legacy. :)



Honestly, I always apply 2 coats of OS to make sure the whole car is covered and spots aren't missed. I added Z8 because like you said I feel it just gives something extra to OS. I still regret not bringing Z5...

That engine compartment looks awesome. What did you use on the plastics and rubber. I love CD2.

I used Z16 for the engine. It use to be 303 aerospace protectant until I found Zaino local. :spot
