Not bad for a 6 year old...

So the paint on my 07 G35x paint was looking real tired, scratches all over and really dull looking. I decided to bite the bullet and get a real professional detailing (inside and out) for the first time. I can't believe how my car went from looking dull and old to a BRAND NEW car after just one full day of work! This guy is a magician!

He was able to remove scratches and swirls that I would have sworn were impossible to remove. I couldn't believe it was my car.

Pictures do no justice, but here it goes.

100% Stock except for the upgraded 08 Sport wheels. Only 52k miles on the clock so far.
(Mods to come after I finish saving for a new house )

About $400 cause my paint was so bad and it took 8-10 hours to complete. It was worth it. Follow up detailing will be much cheaper as long as I take care of it.

nice man, your car looks better than mine and I only have 800 miles! (dealer was kind enough to install some free swirl marks)

once I discovered autopia and the community of "real" detailers, I realized how much attention to detail is involved in true paint correction. There's tons of top notch talent over there, IMO 400 is well worth the results you got.

$400 is good for 8hrs of work. Most professionals charge almost double that
