RL's G35 Detail

[MachNU]

RL G35. He wanted me to clean it up and do what I could too it in the amount of time I had. He went with my Exterior Level 1 Package which normally is 90% average correction, but with the amount of abuse this car took at the hands of the previous owners...75% on this thing would be a HUGE difference. On top of...wet sanding or repainting is about the only cure for this car. But now at least it is glossy as hell when he rides around.

Now for the befores...once it was dropped off this was the first time I had seen it in the sun and I thought it couldnt look any worse than when I saw it under low light...

Now to note!!!! Customer was only paying for my 2-Step Package, meaning I will do as much correction as I can in two steps. This one only landed about 75% correction. Once I removed the years of neglect from the surface and the MASS amount of scratches there were so many straight line RIDS that the whole car would need too be wet sanded to get over 90% correction. This thing was terrible. Customer just wanted it to look better than it did.

Overall condition of the hood under shop lights and my LED.

As I was doing the driver door wanted to get a good shot of the paint side by side after hitting the door with the rotary...

Had a good shot of the truck being able to see where I buffed too under normal overhead lighting...

Now having to really start cutting, I was down too the passenger fender as my last panel and wanted to do a good 50/50 shot. So taped up the fender and started cutting and polishing.

Then how much of a color difference this is making too the car...

Finally after finishing cutting the whole car, Smoknfastlegend had just gotten there to help me finish the car as I had another job coming in the afternoon.

Yeah, generally I can get much better results, but with as bad as his car was, where I got it too was a huge turnaround.


Great job man! Black is such a pain in the ass to repair. :goodjob: :goodjob:

Generally its not that hard to work on black, this one was never taken care of from the previous owner so it was in pretty rough shape.
