Had a customer just purchase this car for this car for his wife about 2 weeks ago, knowing the condition of the paint. I dropped by when he was purchasing it, at night and this car was right under the light. Then the car salesman proceeds to tell him and me that the paint is in good condition and those marks are just standard used car paint results. Long story short, my customer told the sales man he did not know what he was talking about, and they ended up knocked off 1k. As shown the dealer buffed this car and left the worst swirls and monogramming that I have ever seen. And what made it worse is that they did not remove any or the marring or scratches. 3 step polish was performed and 4 step on some specific areas.

Before AFTER I masked of the front half of the hood to see the difference. (Front done back not touched) After 1 coat of Adams machine super wax (this car will be outside so wanted to get some sealant on it) Then 4 coats of Lusso Oro Wax
Thanks! And 4 very very thin coats, because i wanted to make sure it will hold up for a longer time and still have that nice wet look.
Nice correction on that FX. You might want to try Collinite for protection. One coat of it will probably last longer than the 4 coats of Lusso and will look just as nice. Just saying. Did he take it back to the salesman? I would have.
It looks great now, I would have just not purchased it if it was in that bad of condition. I know know new vehicles come with scratches and swirls from the dealer and require medium to light polishing but my god that was horrible to have to use powergloss on a brand new infinity. But great save.
Thanks. I noticed that some people really like collinite but im not a fan of there products, but they do last a very long time. That is what i was thinking but it sold for a lot less then the book value, it was a great deal.
