But first, a little anecdota:
Ben (the owner) told me he wanted to detail his new (to him) Infinity QX56. At the time, it didn't mean anything to me, since I'm quite behind on the import car scene
So, I'm thinking is a medium size sedan, or a two-door sporty car
Well, I did some research on this particular model to see what I was going to be working with, and to find out how hard the clearcoat may be; that's when I found out it was an SUV :lol:
But it was an enjoyable experience working on this Infinity QX56. The paint was in really good shape to start with :cheers:
Here we go:
This belongs to a friend, he just bought it and contacted me to do some detailing on it
When I've arrived, he had already claybarred it, and the SUV looked real nice. I did claybar the cowl a little bit more using his Adams Claybar. The SUV by looking at the before pictures looked real nice, but once I started polishing it, I started to realize a noticeable difference
The process: (clearcoat medium in hardness)
-Wash the car with Duragloss Car Wash
-Dried using WW Microfiber Towels
-Polished, and cleaned the paint with a combination of Prima Swirl and Menzerna PO85RD3.02, PC at 5 using Meguiars cutting pads
The next step was to apply Danase Wet Glaze. This glaze is free of oil, and it's a gloss enhancer made with acrylic polymers that bonds to the paint for maximum durability. I applied this using Meguiars polishing pad
-The final step was to seal the paint with Rejex paint sealant using a LC finishing pad
The roof was done with Klasse AIO, along with the painted side of the fender wells. The inner fender wells were sprayed with Adams Undercarriage Spray
Black trim I used Klasse Rubber, Vinyl, and plastic treatment
Before shots: (after washing)
Like I said, the car looked nice, but on these next pics, you can see the difference the polish was making. Notice the front right side fender, and the passenger side door already been polished, in comparison to the rest of the back side:
