Good evening everyone, Introducing the Infiniti G35 Coupe. In all honesty I simply love Pearl White. The flake is just fantastic. This particular flakey coupe had it's share of swirls but thankfully only needed a one step polish to clear it up. Oddly enough I didn't have issues capturing the defects on this particular brand of white. I hope you enjoy the detail.

There were 3 spots where a lot of tree sap had accumulated. I apologize for not having those pictures. I attacked that area by using a heat gun which gave the sap a little more give and then I simply used isopropyl and cleaned it up with clay then one step polished. Aside from the tree sap you'll notice a significant amount of swirling. DURING Test Panel. I was lucky enough that after bumping up to Intensive Polish to my surprise removed most if not all the swirls from a single pass with Sonus Blue Finishing Pad. A IPA wipe down was used to check my work and there were no swirls. The rear trunk area where the Infiniti emblem was, I used Meguiars 205 and a wax applicator and it cleared it right up. I found using a machine in that area too cumbersome and it missed a lot of the smaller areas. 50/50 Cleared up. AFTERS Here are the afters inclusive of one coat of Collinite 476s. Yes the protection and beading of 476s are oh so very addicting. Mini Photo Shoot ( no editing except for borders and license plate pixelation ) Thank you for looking. Total Work Time: 7 hours.
The wheels are definitely like a tire rack winter special packaged deal :duh: The detail however is top notch, correction work is super impressive!
looks great. if he got wheels he could at least get something good even oem 19s forged once would look better and probably cheaper

Thanks slanguage. I can't tell you how much I love the sparkle I smile whenever I look at pearl white. Mmmm Mmmm good lol. I know winter wheels what can ya do? We're all guilty of it at some point Thanks Dave! How is the weather in NJ? Still warm enough to push on with the details? Hey Ken Thanks a lot for reading through. Yea it was such a large piece of sap and I personally felt that I should take it off slowly by taking off the access sap by using the heat gun and a lint free mf towel. Thanks and it's winter time so it's his preemptive strike to a possible spin out Thanks ! Thanks ! Thanks ! Richy you are my inspiration. The wind beneath my wings Thanks.
