This G37S came in pretty good shape. The owner took care of it extremely well with 303 on the interior and Klasse AIO for the exterior. Had a few deeper scratches that I was not able to remove, but I did what I could with it. No interior/engine bay detailing was done with this detail. Played around with a few combinations of pads/polish. I first tried Powerfinish and a DD green. It didn't do much in terms of correction. I bumped it up to a yellow and still wasn't pleased. I ended up talking Terence (tdawg) on here and he suggested M105 and a green. He said it rarely finishes down well, but I lucked out with this combination. It cut pretty well, and finished down without holograming.

Looks great I personally would have followed up after M105... but in this case it finished down nicely with the green ubers
Glad the detail went well! The 50/50 pictures look awesome, great job on the detail! I see the photography skills have improved too! :applause:
For the felt fender liners I find spraying the debris off with a pressure washer, and then soaking it in APC and then giving it a second rinse with the pressure washer. Works great for me. For the Infiniti clears, I would just play around with whatever combinations you have. I never thought of trying M105 on this, but it worked out well.
