I've been on these forums for quite some time, hoping to be a 350Z owner next year.
Thankfully courtesy of Jonathan73 I was able to detail this very fine 350Z GT4 in stunning black
The job was to carry out paint correction to remove swirls and light scratches and an exterior detail.
On inspection, swirls and scratches were very heavy, there were also some water blade scratches on the bonnet too.
After washing it was quite clear the swirls and scratches were quite fearce.
Anyway..
Some before pics:
Pre rinsed with Megs Super Degreaser,
Wheels with Megs Wheel Brightener,
Pre foamed with SSF and TFR,
Rinsed,
Washed with Megs Shampoo plus and lambswool mitt, 2 bucket method.
Rinsed and dried with Waffle weave towel.
Tar removed with tar remover and paint surface rubbed down with Sonus Ultra fine clay,
Chemical guys Quick detailer as Lube.
Using a Paint thickness gauge I took readings of the whole car. Only 1 real area of concern was the bonnet which was a little thinner than the rest with an average of 100 microns. I had to take car on this panel, even though it was heavily inflicted with deep scratches.
Onto the paint correction, you can see the swirls and scratches etc in these pictures, Jonathan explained that some of them had occured from a Valeter drying the car with a tea towel :eeekkkk:
A 50/50 shot of the rear wing:
And all swirls and light scratches gone:
Paint correction, was with Megs cut pad and Menzerna IP 85RD3.02 and Megs polish pad and 106FF.
I was able to reduce some of the bigger scratches, but not completely remove them as they were too deep.
Sealed with Blackfire Wet diamond all paint protection.
Waxed with Victoria Concours wax.
Trim - Poorboys Trim restorer.
Tyres - Megs Endurance gel.
Arch trim - Megs Hyper Dressing,
Interior - Jeff Werkstatts Satin Protect.
The finished result:
I was very happy with the final results, the paint had a much deeper shine and gloss to it than previously.
Hope you like
