08 Athens blue g37s

This is my 2008 Athens Blue G37s. Its a daily driver so I wasnt trying to get the car fully corrected because it would be impossible to keep swirl free especially in the city( bird poop, rocks, hail, rain, sand or dust from construction). When I picked up the car from the dealer there were MANY noticeable scratches that were visible on the car form like five feet away, easily. So my main point was to remove them and remove spiderwebbings and just make the car look new again. I would say I did about 80% correction on there.

I did nasty spots with orange CCS pad + SIP and not so bad spots with white 6" lake county pads + SIP. It worked wonders. Then I did an IPA wipe down which after which I did see somewhat of a difference, I did leave some oils behind. After the wipe down I followed with 3 layers of jetseal 109. I waited about 20 minutes between each application. The results are better than I expected.

Here are the pics. All those nasty scratches I got removed about 90%. If I was asked to locate any of them I would probably be able to locate only 2 of them. The tail lights I corrected 99% and I thought I did an after shot but now its raining so I'll get a shot when the storm passes.
I didn't detail the rims but I will. I have a crappy camera and crappy photography skills so it was really hard to take photos. Thanks for looking.


Onto the pics:










Here is a nasty scratch.

And after a pass with orange ccs/SIP followed by white pad/SIP

SIP with white pad and Porter Cable did the job.
3M plastic polish is a better way becuase menzerna polishes are expensive.
