Black Nissan 350z

Hello !!
This weekend I detailed an amazing 350z solid black. Some before pics:



Just medium swirls :





The hood, in carbon fiber, also had swirls:









The roof was in better shape:







After cleaning wheels and wheels wells. In the shade, the car looked amazing:







After claying, I started polishing the hood. I used Menzerna Final Finish PO85RE5 and blue Propel Advanced with my Metabo:



Is not easy taking 50/50 in carbon fiber:





I applied Collinite 845 to the hodd looking for the maximum protection:



Finished:



I polished the mirrors with Einszett Chrome and Metal Polish and Wolfgang applicator:



The surprise:



I decided in that point that I should remove the swirls but not trying to remove the random scratches. I used Propel pads and 3m Fast Cut Plus and Menzerna 85RE5. After that, I applied Prima Amigo and Zymöl Glasur.
The results on the bumper:



The left wing:



50/50:



Right wing:







Nice hood:



Buffing with care in this small areas:



In this gif, the 1 shows the before and the 2 when I stopped the Metabo to show when I consider that the abrassives are broken down:



The rear right wing:



Results:

















Some pics that the owner sent me yesterday:

Yes, not much paint, so I decided just removing the swirls, not the RIDS.

Not problem at all my friend. I'm using a Nikon D200 with a 18-55 mm.

i look forward to your review of that thickness gauge

 

Thank you very much sneek.
The PTG works perfect but it measures in ferrous surfaces, then, not in aluminium, plastics, etc...

 

Saw this on AG, IMO one of the best 350 z's I've ever seen

 

love the car, it looks great now

 

Awesome work. I have one in my garage right now. A bit fustrated with it, everything is marring the paint!

This is going to be a lonnnggg detail.
