Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Junkman's "How to Completely Repair Your Paint Damage

inverted1 · 05-28-2013, 05:13 AM

I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make your videos. After watching them two times, I decided to do my first detail job on my 2013 370Z. My car had swirl marks in it that showed in direct sunlight. I received the car like that last August after the dealership had it "detailed."

I did exactly what you said. After washing, I clayed the car and couldn't believe how much crap came off. This took about 6 hours. Then I used the porter cable polisher, orange hex logic 5.5 inch pad and M105. After that, I used the 6.5 inch hex logic pad with M205. I pulled the car out of the garage and inspected in direct sunlight. Absolutely perfect.

Once I was done with all that, I switched to a black hex logic pad and waxed using meguiars ultimate wax.

An extremely long process, It took about 30 hours over 3 days. It is worth it! The car looks better than it did in the showroom. Now if I can just keep it this way!!

Thanks again!!!
