I just finished this one up today and man did it beat me up. G8's have a lot of paint so trying to get this done in a timely manner was a challenge. I am pretty damn sore from head to toe from this one but its all in a days work. This customer came from Michigan and drove 3 1/2 hours one way to get here. He arrived early in the morning and I got to work. The car was in overall clean but the paint needed some fixing. After measuring the paint and seeing it was around 130-140 microns I decided to go with Menzerna Power Finish 2500 then Menzerna Super Finish 4500. I was initially going to go with Menzerna Fast Gloss 400 until I saw the readings on the paint gauge. I know G8's are notorious for thin paint and soft clears so I approached it as such. I used my Flex 3401 with an orange Lake Country hybrid pad for the Menzerna Power Finish 2500 and a grey finished pad for the Menzerna Super Finish 4500. I topped the car with Menzerna Power Lock and Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax. The rims were cleaned with Wolfgang Uber Wheel Cleaner and the tires were cleaned with Meguairs Super Degreaser. The tires were dressed with Poorboy's Bold n Bright and wheel wells got Chemical Guys Bare Bones. Windows were cleaned with Pinnacle Wheel cleaner with repellent. This is by far my favorite car that I have gotten to work on because of the color and the overall outcome. The owner had some very tasteful mods done to the car which helped as well. There are a lot of after pics as well lol. On with the show.
