    2010 Infinity FX35, D/A MF correction, Opti-Guard protection

    Infinity FX35, D/A MF correction, Opti-Guard protection.


    I did this one a few weeks ago but haven't really had the time to post the pics. The vehicle was actually in pretty good shape but ended up needing a 2-step to get the correction level we wanted.

    Process:

    Wash - Foam bath with CGCW and 2BM
    Wheels - Sonan Full Effect and various brushes
    Tires - Optimum Power Clean, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing 3:1
    Clay - Megs mild clay and ONR as lube
    Masking - Meguiar's Masking tape
    Paint correction step 1 - D300 and MF cutting pad on the GGDA
    Paint correction step 2 - 106fa and tangerine LC foam on the GGDA
    Coating prep - Foam bath/wash with CGCW and OPC followed by IPA wipe down
    Glass - Megs D120
    Exhaust tips - Optimum metal polish
    Trim - 303 Aerospace Protectant
    Paint Protection - Optimum Opti-Guard

    Sorry, not a lot of pics as I was under the gun on this one (Impala waiting)

    Before pics:

    Some DISO could also be seen along with some light webbing.




    All taped up





    After:




    I thought the grill was pretty cool.
















    As always, thanks for checking out my work.

        Very nice Chad. Sometimes, I think pictures turn out better (not all the time) with a little diffusion from clouds. It just gives the completed vehicle a different look.
        Just my opinion.

          Did this vehicle have the Nissan "self-healing" paint? If so - and especially in black - I think you did a fantastic job !!

              No, this one had the "Hard Clear".

              It's been over a year since I did this one, but I think it was around 12-14hrs....

                Nice job!

                I notice that my 2012 Infiniti G37xS has the same sticker 'hard clear' and the '11 I *did* have did not have that sticker but only one relating to needing 'special repair procedures'. I think it was the self-healing paint which did NOT work as advertised.

                Did you find the clear on this to be 'hard' as advertised? Comparing to? I just did my '12 and I needed to use D300/cutting and d301/finishing for the benefits of haze removal as 205/white and 105/white got laughed at by the defects.

                  I'd say it was on the harder side, but not like some of the German cars I've worked on. It required D300 to be worked with heavy pressure, slow arm movement, and smaller section sizes.

                    I had some issues finishing down on the swirls, I just pretty much used the weight of the buffer on horizontal panels. The dealer tunnel-washes every 2 weeks while on the lot really swirled it up.

                    thanks and I"ll try the D300 with the flex and a bit more pressure!
