    Hello WORLD!

    Detailed this lovely 370Z this morning. The owner contacted me originally to correct the paint caused by lots of scratches on the paint. Being 2 months old, we needed to get it back in good shape. And that's what we did, that's what we DID!

    I'll let the pictures tell the story. No one reads this anyways. Why am I even typing??? I am a loser.

    1) Wash w/ CG CWG and Zymol sponge
    2) Duragloss Bug Remover decon
    3) Clay with Zaino clay
    4) Menzerna PO203S w/ green Uber and Flex
    5) Jetseal 109
    6) Swissvax Saphir
    7) Put on shades
    8) Relax the seat and turn up the beat
    9) Ball out of control

    :hippie:

    She looked clean when I arrived...

    First pass with P0203S and green Uber pad. Not bad.

    Still not perfect.

    NICE! I turned up the Flex from 4 to 5 and slowed down my passes. PERFECTION!

    Youch! I can't believe how bad that car got after such a short amount of time. Why anyone would ever let a water blade touch their paint is beyond me.
