OCDetailing Detailed: Infiniti G37S

nikku · 05-28-2009, 08:04 PM

Hey again everyone,

This was a detail I did last week. The owner came in for a one step polish for his G37S. He's quite the car guy and by the pictures you'll notice he's done quite a few things and I'm sure has more things planned for her.

An awesome car with an awesome colour, blue slate. You will notice that it gave off an interesting colour when halogens were used, it was almost spooky. ooOOooo lol.

I hope you enjoy the detail. Sorry about not having too many befores. I woke up at 5:30 am to get this baby started. I realized that I had not taken pics after treating the lower panels with PB bug and tar. Also I had a hard time taking pictures of the light swirling with the camera. Anyways you'll see what I mean.

PS for the fans of my shorts sorry no short this time well at least not in pictures

Enjoy.

Before

You will notice the MF towels from Costco taped to the rear lights. The owner just had his rear lights tinted so I had to be extra careful about any birds that would decide to drop a present.

During

The three pictures below are of the test panel I did on the hood. White Sonus and 85rd was a successful combo for this vehicle. So I went with it. In the first picture I apologize that it's a tad blurry but you'll see the swirling and in the other two pics the swirling is gone.

Interestingly enough this particular colour has a nice hue about it. Although in the first picture below of the passenger side door you'll notice it having more haze than it should.

Haze gone and clarity returned.

Below are a few after polish shots before LSP

Great job! I like the color, very unique.

How do you like the Racatac detailing seat? Does it really save your back?

nikku · 05-28-2009, 08:50 PM

it helps to a certain extent but I still need to sit on the floor to detail the lower panels. Ideally I would have a lift

Is that a hot dog and pepperoni sandwich?

nikku · 05-28-2009, 09:32 PM

Thanks for the comments guys.

That good sir is a hotdog sandwich with tomatoes LOL :P

smellfish · 05-28-2009, 09:33 PM

It's like ketchup without the mess. Genius!

Thanks for the compliment. After washing try claying those waterspots off. Use an all purpose light clay with lube and see what the results are. With hard water spots you may have to resort to a light polish by hand. Pick up a light finishing polish and a finishing foam pad generally 4 inch pad. It will just take time and patience. Sometimes it may get frustrating when polishing by hand but the key is to tackle small areas at a time and attain the results you want them move on. Don't take on too large of an area

Cheers,
Nick
