G35 - clean, corrected, and protected
This car had seen its fair share at carwashes and dealer washes, so after hearing that, I had an idea of what the condition would look like. The paint felt rough and the build up on the wheels look like it went a year without a wash.
Before pics
Headlamp started to haze.... the sun did not expose this well...
whoa
more swirls
before interior...forgot to take an after cleaning
Before
After
bad 50/50.... didn't make a tape line, but if you look hard enough, can spot some small scratches under right light
some sorta gunk
gunk gone :wink:
cleared up haze
before LSP
lettin' dry
after 10.5 hours
that's all!
Need to find ways to speed up my process... even though its not 56 hours, 10.5 is still a hefty amount of time lol. At least i'm happy with the outcome, guess that all that matters?

Good job ... can I make a couple of constructive comments? I can .. oh good ..
1) When applying the wax/sealant reduce your circular motion to about 4" ( the size of a yellow foam applicator ) and overlap the circles by 50%. This will give better coverage and a more even application. The heavy /light thicknesses of your LSP in the pix can lead to visable streaking on a darker color.
2) When doing the reflective shots from the sides etc .. let your g/f or wife take them
Pretty tough to get the time down .. our average car for the same takes 4+ hours and there is 2 of us doing it and we have been at it as a team for close to 7 years.
I use a central vac ... lot more powerful than every shop vac I tried.
I use a paint sprayer to apply external dressings on tires , wheel wells etc .. way faster.
