    This was basically a full detail that added some correction due to some scratches and scuffs that needed to be buffed. At first I was just going to sport correct these spots, but there were so many I decided to just go over the whole car. This car was only a little over a year old, but I would have guessed it was at least five years old in the condition I received it in.

    ON TO THE PICS!!! I didn't have time to go back and show every repaired scratch so I tried to get the whole area in just a few pics. Overall I think I got out every mark that didn't go below the clearcoat. The owner was very happy.

    No, I was just looking at the pics. Went back and looked at after your post. Very nice, paybacks are hell. Sure I will help you with the G35. I will be more than happy to take some Power Gloss to it with a dirty wool pad and put some nice buffer marks in the black finish for the above comment.-lol. I just think your jealous because you can't go out all night now-hahaha

    LOL!! I am jealous! there is no way I could stay out all night and be of any use at work the next day. If you ever show up though maybe you can start working saturdays with me!

    Why don't you just skip the Power gloss and take some 400 grit to it! LOL
    Thanks!
