AJ Auto Detail : JNguyen's Infiniti G37

Turns out it was Supernatural; I have never used this wax so I was pretty anxious to how it would turn out.

It was raining upon delivery (Sunday @ 6.00 pm), so I just sucked it up and did a quick wash and wheel cleaning then pulled it in my garage to dry it off. :P

Here's how it was upon arrival.






Wheels were cleaned with Chemical Guys Sticky Wheel Gel and an arrangement of brushes. Tires and Wells received Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser.









Front end was treated with Chemical Guys Bug & Tar remover and a bug sponge for agitation and was then washed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash + Gloss and wool wash mitt. After I pulled it back in the garage, I then started to dry it with a Cobra Waffle Weave Drying Towel and my air compressor. After drying, I started to clay using Chemical Guys Heavy Duty Clay and Chemical Guys Luber as clay lube.




To prepare for the paint inspection, I gave it a good wipedown with IPA 1:1 to show the true condition of the paint.

Lots of tape used... >
