My NEW car - '07 G35x

Well, I asked the dealership to deliver the car to me dirty so I could begin the detailing fun IMMEDIATELY. :D



I did the interior yesterday morning. I kept it pretty simple so as not to interfere with the new car smell . . .



1. Wiped down all the plastic/vinyl/aluminum with Meguiar's Interior QD

2. Cleaned windows with NTS7 Glass Shield

3. Vacuumed

4. Applied 303 Fabric Guard to floor matts and carpeting

5. Cleaned touch screen and gauge cluster with Plexus







Here's something I never had in my S2000 (a backseat) :D







Another thing I never had in my S2000 (a useable trunk). In the G35 if you get nav the CD changer moves from the dashboard to the trunk. :(







For the outside I did a little more . . .



1. Cleaned tires/wheel wells with Meguiar's Safe D-Greaser

2. Cleaned wheels with P21S Gel

3. Pre-cleaned paint with Meguiar's Body Solvent to remove adhesive residue from shipping wrap.

4. Washed with ShMitt and Optimum Car Wash

5. Clay

6. Spot polished with Menzerna PO85RD on a blue Edge 2000 pad (I probably should have done the whole car, but it was SERIOUSLY hot and humid yesterday.)

7. One coat of Pinnacle Souveran

8. Dressed wheel wells with Megs Hyper Dressing

9. Dressed tires with DP Tire Gel

10. Cleaned glass with NTS7

11. Polished chrome with Flitz Metal Polish

12. One coat of DP Wheel Glaze on all wheels

13. Applied DP Spray Sealant to all jambes















Normally, I would use Zymol Vintage on my car. However, lately the ease of use of Pinnacle Souveran has been making me want to use it instead even though I feel the Zymol has a nicer look.



I also detailed the engine bay. I'll post up about that later.

Congratulations on a great choice!



I had the same one as a loaner about a month back...man does that make my G feel slow. It just pulls and pulls and pulls.



Enjoy many happy miles with her.

Thanks Sean! Can you recommend for me some good G35 owner's forums to frequent?

I'm Premier status over at G35Driver.com . For the most part, it's a great forum. The layout, members, sponsors, and corporate Infiniti people make it all the much better.



There are plenty of modded 07s on there already. Gives you the itch quick.



Enjoy!

I believe it does. It also has a hard drive built into the radio to store MP3's on. Plus, a flash memory card slot for more music.

Very nice car. Looks good. However the back seat doesn't look like something I want to spend tons of time in.

If that's your car in your profile pic, I don't understand how you can make that statement. Not only does the Camaro have almost useless rear seats, but the front passsenger is uncomfortable too with that huge hump on the floor!

Considering the size of the car, it actually doesn't have too bad of a back seat. Both front seats were almost all the way back. So that makes it look smaller.



When I was trying to decide what car to buy I test drove the Audi A4 and the BMW 335i. The Infiniti had the largest back seat of all three.
