    Monkey Detailed: 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe

    When this car arrived i knew it was going to be a tough job. In the rain in cloudy skies I could see swirls. I just didn't know it was this bad.

    I had to hit it with all of my polishes that I have. The PG and SIP caused severe marring, but the 106FF and PO85RD cleared everything up and made it SHINE!

    I couldn't get everything out, but I tried my best

    Correction:
    Makita 9227c
    Menzerna PG
    Menzerna SIP

    Menzerna PO85RD

    Protection:
    CG Ez-Creme Glaze

    Great recovery! The paint looks great.

    I for one, think the front of that car is really funny lookin', it lost all of the elegance and presence it originally had (from the factory) with that grill and those headlights. Blechh

    Thanks, everyone. I'd figure I would just post up some work to get some content material into this sub-section.

    The owner wanted it prepped because he was selling it very soon. And I'd agree with all of the above...I didn't like the look.

    Infiniti paint was probably one of the worse paints I have worked on. It was scratching with brand new microfibers!

    It's a totally different beast. It's a tough learning curve, but after awhile it doesn't compare to the abilities of a PC (After all it is a Rotary vs DA).

    Well worth the money spent...
