Default Detailed 2005 350z White

Detailed my friends 350z. He doesnt have a garage and parks on the streets. So he kind of just leaves it dirty and dont wash it often. Good that he moved and has a garage now, so I did a detail for him. Enjoy.
The clay pic was a result of one pass only....

Nice improvement. Clay bar is often an under rated step in the cleaning process. A lot of people skip it but it's a big help. Thanks for sharing those pics!

You can read application info here:

But I would suggest only clay if you plan to do a polish afterwards, cuz most likely claying will cause some swirls.

The swirls on the white z is ridiculous. It's normally tough to spot already but that's just terrible.

I removed the 350Z emblem from my back hatch today and the outlines of all three numbers and the Z still remain. I was wondering if the clay bar would remove that. It's on '03 so that thing had been on there for a while.

Wouldn't hurt to try it out. I use the claybar to take off the exhaust stains just above the tips.
