About a month ago one of the service advisors I work with at Nissan had a customer come in for a service had the vehicle cleaned and she asked if there was anything they could do about the bird poop stain on the door and the white mark left on the trunk from a magnet. The detailers cleaned and did nothing with these marks. The Advisor has her come speak with me I took the car in the back and polished half of the trunk near where the emblems are and removed the stain I did not try the poop. She was blown away how half her trunk looked. So a month later she set up a time for me to detail her car. Goal is to remove mark from poop and bring the gloss back to the paint. Washed the vehicle with pressure washer Using First Place Finish car soap mixed with Zep Citrus to remove the old wax Rinsed vehicle Sprayed entire vehicle included wheels with Iron X Rinsed Re Washed and cleaned wheels and tires Pulled vehicle into detailing bay and began to clay using Dodo Born to Slippery and Yellow Clay Dried the entire vehicle using Meguiars Water Magnet and compressed air After testing pads and polish I ended up using Meguairs D300 compound with Buff N Shine Yellow pad on the Griots Garage DA I found this to cut better then Menz 203 and slightly less then Meg Me105 but finished off amazingly well. I was getting a lot of dust then I slowed the machine from speed 6 to 5 and the dust was not a problem Washed the vehicle with Zep Citrus Dryed as before Prima Amigo with a Green Buff n Shine pad on the GG DA speed 3.5 Interior was vacuumed Wiped down with Optimum Leather Plus Door jambs cleaned and then wiped down with DG AW LSP was Dodo Supernatural Hybrid You all are aware I am no good with the camera so here you go Before washed, Iron X and clay bird poop area Bad swirls Left side polished polished All Finished
nice work sal! how was the paint to work with? I potentially have a G35 that i'll be working on soon.
Thanks guys. Infinity uses the self healing paint on the G it is the samepaint on the Z. If you lift the hood it will say hard clear use recommended products only, the Z, GTR, Max and infinity says it never seen it on any other Nissan model
Very nice work. It nice to see a common car for once. I did a same car but white instead. These economic cars have very thin paint readings. I am getting average readings less than 95um with the highest 117um.
Great job on the paint correction. I find that Nissan has somewhat hard paint which can be easy to work the swirls out.
