    This car belongs to the same customer as the G35x I just did. He wanted it sealed for the winter and a chip filled in. The chip was right near the edge of the hood so I leveled it with Langka. It also had a scuff in the hood. I hit it with Menz micro polish and a black LCC pad. The scuff was gone and it really seemed to make the paint jump. The car only had 2600 km on it so I expected the paint to be better. I ended up going over the whole car with the micro and it was outstanding....besides, I couldn't have his 2 year old Infiniti looking better than a brand new Bimmer!

    The Process:

    Wheels/Tires/Wells/Barrels:

    Wheels were cleaned with Megs WB as were the barrels
    Tires cleaned with Zep purple
    Wells cleaned with Zep citrus
    Wheels subsequently polished by hand with DG 501 and sealed with 105
    Tires dressed with DP gel
    Wells dressed with Adams

    Glass:

    Cleaned with Zep and treated (outside) with DG Rain Repel (including sunroof)

    Paint:

    Polished with Menz Micro and black LCC pad with rotary
    Cleaned/polished by hand with DG 501
    Sealed with DG 601/105 combo
    Spritzed with AW

    Trim:

    Treated with DG flat black

    Interior:

    Carpeting got vacuumed and steam cleaned
    Plastic treated with 303 Aerospace
    Rubber mats treated with Simonize tire spray

    Chrome Tips:

    Autosol on a mf.
