Hey everyone. I am a long time reader and finally joined the forums. I am 33 years old and have been detailing as a hobby for a while. I am no professional by any means, but find detailing to be a great stress reliever and it satisfies my OCD :) ... I figured I would post pics of my girl "Jolene". She is a 2003 Nissan 350z with 70k on the ODO. Previous owner took decent care of her but you could def notice defects in the paint. Since Nissan uses such High Quality Paint :laughing: she has numerous amounts of swirls, aggressive water spots, and just a dull look. The metallic in the paint didn't pop like I wanted it too. I hope you enjoy the pics. The sun decided to hide just as I pulled her out of the garage.

Ammo Used:

- Dawn Detergent - Only used to strip current wax/sealent.
- Griots Brilliant Wash
- NanoSkin Sponge
- Meguires DA System... The one you hook to a power drill. I'm trying to save some money for a really good DA :)
- Griots Compound w/ Meguires Red Cutting Pad to remove moderate/heavy imperfections
- Meguires Detailing Compound w/ Meguires Yellow Polish Pad to remove any marring from the more aggressive compound.
- Chemical Guys Extreme Top-Coat Sealent w/ 3x Carnuaba w/ Meguires Black Finishing Pad.

From another 350z owner to another. Welcome !!!
Great looking Z
 
Great ride!

I remember fantasizing about these 350Z's when they first came out... The track package with the Rays Engineering wheels and brembo brakes looked extremely nice. Maybe one day I'll be able to pick up a low mile pristine one... The exhaust tone of the 350Z's are amazing for stock too.
 
Thanks for the positive comments. I love my Z. This is my second one. The first one got traded in when I decided to get married and 7 years later I found this Jewl. At least my wife is understanding about my relationship :)
 
A great color for the Z! My Chrome Silver 2003 looks rather boring by comparison. :)

Well done on your car. Looks very clean - even your backup lights in the rear bumper are very clear! :jealous:
 
WOW. Great looking Z. And....you have a great driveway to do detailing. You made a great comment. Detailing....the ultimate stress reliever!
 
Nice job...:props:
Really like your tone of Orange, too!
