Default April 2008 Entry: Nissan 350Z

I got this job from when I did a BMW 335i 2 weeks ago. This 350Z is his uncle's and at first when he heard his nephew paying $280 for a carwash, he went crazy. Haha, but then he saw the results and he wanted his done the same way but without swirl removal. He was VERY HAPPY with the results. He won't let anyone else touch it besides me.

Process:

- Pre-wash foam w/ ## Wash + Gloss and Meg's Hyperwash
- Wheels/Tires/Wells cleaned w/ Meg's APC 4:1
- Bugs/Tar sprayed w/ Surf City Grime Destroyer
- Two bucket method w/ Meg's Gold Class and ## Wash + Gloss
- Dry w/ Cobra Guzzlers
- Clay w/ Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and ## Clay Lube
- Exhaust pipes polished w/ Meg's Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish via #0000 steel wool
- Exterior glass received Rain-X
- Tires dressed w/ Meg's Endurance High Gloss Gel
- Wells dressed w/ Meg's All-Season Dressing
- Rims sealed w/ Collinite 845 via foam pad
- RIDS corrected w/ Menz SIP via rotary and LC Yellow Pad @ 1800
- Pinnacle XMT Finishing Glaze applied via PC and LC Blue Pad @ speed 4
- Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax applied via PC and LC Blue Pad @ speed 4 (2 coats)
- Vacuum
- Mats extracted via LGM w/ Little Green formula
- Glass cleaned w/ IG
- Plastics cleaned w/ Meg's APC 10:1
- Leather cleaned w/ Zymol Leather Cleaner via brush
- Leather conditioned w/ Zymol Leather Conditioner via MF towel

haha, good job in re-using the clay as a cell phone holder.

Hmm, silver cars r the least satisfying to detail IMO.
It just doesn't shine like black.

But still, great job guys!
