    Thank you! Thanks. I fell in love with it the second I saw the car on the lot. This car is mean!

    2004 Infiniti M45 - Twilight Blue Pearl Correction

    Hello, everyone. I was on vacation this week, so I decided it was appropriate to finally polish this car. The victim? A 2004 Infiniti M45, 65k miles. Twilight Blue Pearl, a swirly, hologrammed mess. The previous (only) owner, took terrific care of this vehicle. Unfortunately, the dealer I got it...

    M105 and M205 on hologrammed paint

    I just wanted to share this, as I find it interesting. On a separate panel (trunk lid) I did M105 on orange speed 5. Worked in really small 6x6 spaces. Afterwards, it looked really nice. I skipped the M205 and went ahead and applied the mothers sealant to it. Looks beautiful!

    M105 and M205 on hologrammed paint

    This is not the self healing paint - thank god. The M105 is definitely picking up all the swirls in the paint. The M205 is now finishing out much nicer than before. After reading both of your replies, I realized I was going to big for this clear coat. I could get away with 20" x 20" on the...

    M105 and M205 on hologrammed paint

    Just bought a Blue 2004 Infiniti M45 a few weeks ago. Swirls, and holograms EVERYWHERE. I did a test spot on the hood, thought I made it out easy but as soon as I tried it on a larger scale, its failing me. The swirls are out, but I can't seem to get the hollys out. This is only my second...

    Excellent job. I cannot believe what those detailers did. This is what it's all about. An extremely satisfied customer in the end.

    Infiniti paint, and leather

    Just picked up a 2004 Infiniti M45 two weeks ago. My vacation is two weeks away, so I need to get an idea of what I'll need. I'm used to my explorers ceramic rock hard clear, and I know japanese cars tend to be softer. So my question is, what's a great swirl remover for the paint? Has the DISO...

    Favorite / Least Favorite Memory from your first car?

    It's nearing the end for good ole' Clifford, the big red Ford Explorer. 180,000 miles done, many more to go (for someone else). 30,000 miles over 3 years done by myself. I've finally located a car I like, want, and must have! A new to me, 2004 Infiniti M45. Going to put a hold on it tomorrow...

    Window cleaning frustration

    Exactly what I do, otherwise I streak the streaks. This is why windows, fall second on my list of 'least favorite part of detailing'.

    What the hell????

    Alex, believe it or not, my all time favorite song is from the 80's. My favorite movie? Smokey and the Bandit (1977). I grew up with all of this stuff, mostly from my mother. My friends listen to c'rap' and I hate it. I listen to 70s, 80s, 90s and the occasional new song I like. If I listen...

    Knee surgery

    Went through this two months ago, had a tear in the meniscus. I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to do the exercises! On a side note, I find it kind of funny you detailed and then placed your cars in the garage for the time you were out, so when you could drive again, they were...

    Tough to get off, looks like Bird Poop

    I came across this on the last car I did. Was a wash and wax, but obviously I wasn't giving the car back with this stuff still stuck to the hood. I ended up using ultimate compound on a slower speed, was off the paint in a few passes.

    Lucky Find

    Not bad. The quick detailer usually goes for around 9.99. I might have to go look around tomorrow because I love the quick detailer, but the wax will collect dust lol
