Hi everyone. This past Sunday I had a chance to work on a black G35. I've read before how soft this paint was. Well, not in this case. The paint on this car had to be one of the hardest I've worked on. Pretty close to the Corvette paint believe it or not. I'm a little bummed that I couldn't take more after pics since it got dark pretty quick. Not to mention my rotory stopped working when I had the hood & front bumber left to do. The cord wasn't making good contact so I had to take it in for repair yesterday. Plenty of before pics.
The owner said he started waxing it and simply gave up half way through. I later noticed when I opened the trunk a bottle of Turtle wax polishing compound. Hmmmm? On with the before pics.
Clearcoat failure?? Nope, just left over polishing compound
Compound all within the cracks
All over the trim
So now I begin to soap the car up to loosen any dirt up
Now that the paint is clean & free from any dry polishing compound I can see how many swirls & hazing there is on the paint
There was a scratch on the paint that seemed like someone tried rubbing it out with an abrasive resulting in this haze
I begin my test spot
There were some scratches I had to wetsand using 2500
Polished out the wetsanding
Here is the before
