Default 350Z detail

This was a co-workers, he had let someone borrow it and it came back w/ scratches all over. A few were to deep to pull out unfortunately.


Clayed the car, followed up w/ #83 and an orange pad from CMA. Then went over w/ a coat of #80 and followed up w/ a coat of S100








and the money shot

HRG...Saw your post over on MOL. Looks fantastic !!!!!. I was working on my Super Black 350Z today as well.

Used Megs #83 with a LC yellow cutting pad.

Followed up with Megs #80 Speed Glaze with a Megs Polishing Pad (8006).

Then 2 coats of NXT. Althought it took me almost 3 hrs to do the hood, rear, and front fenders I was very impressed.

I will follow up on the roof and doors soon...

Just a question for those w/ this color. Do you have many paint defects? There were paint runs all over this car, and it hasn't been repainted. It's all from the factory.

My Brick has a LOT of orange peel that is best seen on the vertical surfaces of the car (doors especially). You can't see it unless you are looking at it closely though.

yea, the car has orange peel, this definately wasn't orange peel, it was actual runs, esp. around the swooping fenders. Amazed me.


Car looks good as always Bonz

Thanks. My car doesn't have any "runs" as far as I know. Unless of course, I use that Mexican gasoline!
