bryansbestwax vs another bad G35
This was the neighbour across the street from the house where I did the Corvette and previous black G35. He is also the neighbour to the G37 I did last year. It’s been a good neighourhood for me, I also have a Jaguar X-type coming up from another neighbour. The paint was in bad shape again, too many trips through the local whip and swirl car wash, and being an 05, its seen a lot of abuse. The owner wanted it to look better, not perfect so I played around a bit with polishes and compounds trying to get what I could get done in the time allotted.
Process
Washed with 2BM with ONR
Cleaned the wheels with Megs WB, then Magnificient, then Iron X
Clayed with Autowerkes exclusive blue clay
Compounded sections with Menz PG and Presta UCC
Polished with Menz PF
Switched from wool to foam, many times playing around with cuts
Sealed the car with Riccardo Ultra Depth Wax, very nice soft wax
Before pics
Trunk is going for a respray from my paint guy
Iron x working away
Checking in the sun for progress
Use to look like this, progress being made I would say
Under the lights
Fender was repainted, not even sure what they did here
Pillars looking crappy
Pillars looking not so crappy

Bryan, you had a real mess on your hands with this one, but it looks terrific.
