dsms detail - Infiniti G35 extensive correction

G35 Coupe in for a 3 day complete detail in preparation for a possible sale.

Basic outline of problems:

-Lack of gloss
-Improper detailing/buffing from previous detailer
-Heavy contaminants
-Greasy leather/dried out trim

No wash process pics, right onto paint correction.

-D300 compound + Cutting disc x2
-Menzerna Powerfinish + LC hydro tech tangerine
-Menzerna 85rd + Black DD finishing pad

I started off with a "test spot" to find the right combo, the doors on this car were hammered so I figured I would start there and see what kind of damage I could do... after some toying around I landed on the above combo which yielded the folllowing results.

The middle section wash polished...



Very pleased with these results I moved my way around the rest of the car...

Hood





Reverse angle of that



Lower body panels were shot, in these areas 4" pads were used. You see the difference in color and clarity before and after polishing.



Trunk area under halogens



LED Fenix TK40





Closeup before and after





4" pads used again here and on the tailights



Closeup (Japanese paint is fantastic to work with)



Again difference in color and clarity before and after polishing...



After correction the interior was done. I spent a few hours in here getting everything restored to a factory natural look.

Leather was treated with the leatherique twins. As usual I used a heat gun on a low setting to pre-heat the leather (soften it up) before applying the Rejuv. oil and again after I applied it I used the heat gun again to bake it into the pores.

This process was repeated 3-4 times over the next 24hours to help remove as much grime as possible from the leather.

Massaging in RO by hand





Re-heating with heat gun



Steering wheel received same application



The next morning before another round with the heat gun before removal with Pristine clean



A hot damp MF pad was used (with no cleaner) to remove the Rejuv. Oil from the seats , this is where you see all the grime get taken off....

After just the lower portion of the drivers seat





Buffing off pristine clean, which leaves behind a very nice natural finish once done

Looks great, you have an abundant amount of pads.

 

I don't think he'll have a problem selling it now. Great save, David!

 

Great job Dave!

How did you remove the defects in between rear emblems, also I sometimes I have trouble on certain vehicles getting under the side mirrors. I have tried everything from 4" pads to an extension both on the PC and Makita, but yet sometimes I just cant correct that small area. how do you handle them?

 

Good stuff man

 

Silver at times can be a very tough color to made pop, but you have brought it back to life. Good job Dave!

 

that car was jacked up! great job!

 

Nice job as usual Dave.:applause:

 

Beautiful work Dave...

 

Great job! The exterior really shines. Thanks for posting pics of interior as well

 

Super save Dave that thing was slammed. You just brought the resale value way up on that baby.

 

Huge improvement. Nice work Dave!

 

Great Work Dave, do you notice better results cleaning leather w/ the hot water before pristine clean, rather than just going straight to pristine clean
