Friday night about 1 hour before I was going to leave work a salesman approached me with a brand new red 370z that had some white marks in the paint, swirls, rids and bird crap etching. I had and still have no idea what the white marks were. I told him the detailers can try to do something with it, wasn't sure what he wanted me to do as I am a service advisor at work. Well 5 minutes later the new car sales manager approached me and asked what I could do with the car and when. I said I can make it look new and can do it this weekend. I asked where we got the car from and he told me Nissan.... It is brand new off the truck it went into our service dept for its Pre Delivery Inspection and then went to the detailer to remove the shipping stickers, wash, clean window and wax. So they filled the car up and I drove it home. Friday I inspected it in the garage with my wife and she was shocked how badly this car looked and it was brand new. She was telling me I could not make it look new it is to far gone. Well I had to show her, I did a test spot right there and then, I can see through the polish the paint was looking great, I wiped the polish away and bam scratches. So I polished again wiped in a different direction and scratches. Well she laughed and said see I told you and walked away. Saturday morning 8am 17 degrees I started the detail, again test spot and found the Shag Rags I had were the only towels not scratching the paint. Process Friday before I left work I pressure washed using APC to clean the car Next morning washed with ONR Polished with Rotary and LC wool pad using a mix of M105 and Opt Spray compound used this on hood, roof and driver rear quarter where the white mark was Griots DA with LC orange pad M105 using what I learned from Kevin Brown Isoprohyl wipe down Griots DA with LC white pad and M205 Isoprophyl wipe down Griots DA with LC black pad and Prima Amigo LSP today was Bilt Hamber Finis wax also used on black trim I was very impressed with Finis Wax Total time 13 hours over 2 days in temps from 17-35 degrees My kids got the camera and I lost a few pictures but here goes my very bad attempt at picture taking Before After Next day after my 40 mile drive to work at 6am, we were expecting snow that day
Great work Sal!:applause: As said looks dripping wet. I have never owned a car (only trucks/jeeps) but the Nissan is quickly becoming my favorite. I own a lifted silver Jeep so may have to jusify my insane wax collection soon! LOL
