EPIC OB G37s Detail(before and after)
Bought this car about three weeks ago and the paint needed some serious love. The previous owner parked the car outside (probably under tree) and severally neglected the paint. There was not even a trace of wax left on the paint when I received it. Severe etching from water and bird droppings were present as well as the common swirls and deep scratches from going to automatic washes. A full on detail commenced.... 15 hours later its ready for Chicago winters.
Due to time limitations all I was able to accomplish was the exterior and wheels so the interior and engine bay will be done this weekend (they're both still in good shape)
Exterior:
-debadged
-wheels were removed
-wheel faces/barrels were thoroughly cleaned via chemical guys citrus sticky gel and various brushes
-washed via 2 bucket method
-wheel wells thoroughly washed and treated
-brake calipers sealed
-clayed
-windows clayed
-washed again
-dried
-trim masked off
- 3 Step paint correction (Menzerna Intensize polish with yellow 4" uber pad, Menzerna Intensive polish with orange 4" uber pad, Menzerna Final Polish with 4" Green uber pad)
- Light 1 Step paint correction on front clear bra (Menzerna Intensive polish with 4" orange pad)
-washed again to remove polishing dust
-dried
-waxed (Collinite 476s)
-front lower grill treated with Chemical guys fade2black
-plastics treated
-tires treated
-exhaust tips polished
Products used:

Pictures:

Rinsing:
Dirt that came out of rear wheel well:
Wheel well all cleaned up and dressed:

Afters:
I don't think I got enough after pictures so I'm going to get some more this weekend when I wash it as well as the interior and engine bay. Hopefully the Chicago winters haven't taken a tole on it yet [headbang]
