Buffing...is it bad?

FricFrac · 06-29-2009, 11:15 PM

Please for the sake of all 370Zs on the road do not attempt to buff your Z. Also be careful of detailers that use fillers to make your swirl marks disappear - they will just show back up when you wash the filler out after x number of washes. Also be careful of detailers that cut to much of your clear coat off - that brings you dangerously close to clear coat failure.

Now that I know all this stuff about detailing (but don't have the skills to do it myself) there is only one person I'd take my car to to get it done - someone who actually cares about the work he does rather than a business that need to be profitable with employees not necessarily interested in doing an excellent job. Good luck with that..... :/

...and this is why you let a professional do your car.... (I'll have to get some higher res pictures but you'll get the point

I asked NXTAZEE to take some pics before/after and the results are astonishing. When we pulled around the garage to pick the car up it just blew my mind how amazing the car looked - it was like black chrome - AWESOME!

I can in no way take any credit for this detailing job - it was a labour of love by NXTAZEE who spent well over eight hours clay baring, compounding and polishing this not just back to its former glory but beyond - well beyond its new condition.

So while some would take the Mona Lisa and staple it over the hole in the wall others like NXTAZEE would create a beautiful frame suitable for such a piece of art.....
