Hey everyone.. just thought I would share the results from a job I did this morning. Figured I needed to step up to the plate in the Nevada/Nellis AFB area since Mike ( Smack ) shipped out the Germany to enjoy the Autobahn and Nurburgring :props:..

A little history on this 370Z. My co-worker recently picked up this ride about 3 months ago. The previous owner let it sleep outside its whole life and didn't care much for the paint. My co-worker tried his best to bring it back to life but kinda gave up because he wasn't getting the results he wanted. Finally, he decided to let me get a shot at it.

Warning!! Lots of pics!!

Products used:
GG6 DA
Meguiars Car Wash
Wolfgang Uber Wheel Cleaner
Meguiars APC
Mothers Clay bar
Ultima Waterless wash as clay lubricant
Menzerna FG400
Menzerna SF4000
Eraser
Duragloss 111
Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax
Meguiars tire gel

On to the pics:
At drop off:



Wheels cleaned tires degreased:



Damage shots:


Prepping to start correction:

50/50 shots:






Found some sticker residue:


After wax shots:







Sun shots!! So we can see the REAL results!!






Thanks for looking everyone!!

Oh yea!! Hey Mike (Smack) If you weren't married, I think I would try to get your number!! HAHAA..

Playing!!! (Pic of Mike getting paint readings on my car) :laughing:

Oh I added it after you asked..I forgot to put it in. lol.

I actually spoke to him about maintaining it for him. We will see how it works out. Thank you for the advice.:props:
 
Beautiful work Jace. That 370Z was hammered and you brought it back to a show car finish. Im sure the owner couldnt believe the transformation you displayed on his paint. Nicely done. Keep up the outstanding work Slick.

Great job captureing the before and afters of the paint.

I think I can safely say now that I have passed on the knowledge for you to keep up the outstanding work in the Las Vegas area. Anytime I am contacted I will send them over your way knowing my clients will be in good hands.

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone. I do put my all into these correction jobs I do, with hopes to keep getting better.

I owe it to you Mike (Smack) .. i would never have been able to be at this point without your guidance. Thanks brotha!! I will gladly take care of anyone you send my way, and rest assured that your name will not be scarred. And yes the owner was pretty surprised by the results. That makes it all worth it!! :xyxthumbs:
