Presidential Detailed: Infiniti FX35
This customer just bought the car recently and wanted to get it cleaned up a bit. The previous owner was a snowbird so it mostly sat, but the paint wasnt kept up too well, looked like multiple auto-washes,etc. So we set up the detail, and I spent a couple days to get it back in shape. It was moderately difficult to get the defects back out of the paint, but we got it to about 95% corrected. Anyways, on to the pics!

Re: Presidential Detailed: Infiniti FX35 (Presidential_Detail)
I forgot to get some before shots in the halogens, but the sun shots showed what condition the vehicle was in overall..here are the few that I did happen to capture..
Here is a 50/50 after SIP/Orange pad..
Now finished in the halogens..

Couple shots I got during the day..
I finished the vehicle after the sun was set, so I couldnt get any full pictures unfortunately..but here are some reflection shots for ya anyway!

Re: Presidential Detailed: Infiniti FX35 (builthatch)
At first I didnt, then I figured out how to use it and now I love it! My newfound trik with the lusso is to spritz water on the panel after putting down a layer of wax and it comes RIGHT OFF, it cut my wax time down by half atleast!
