Hey everyone, So I had this beautiful car to work on for two days. It was definitely tiring but well worth it. I ran a little short on time and was not able to address the rear lights but I will be making a short trip to look after that this coming week. Also there were swirls underneath the clear bra that could not be addressed. Paint wise you can tell the paint was not in the greatest condition. At first I thought I was looking at a different Z as when I first saw the Z it looked maroon. You have to love the metal flake. In terms of the correction I was happy with the outcome. Enough of my blabbering. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I know i know, just one last note this was by far the nicest client I have ever had. I hope everyone is able to have a client that is like this. I was brought lemon water, cookies and was even invited to stay for dinner. Amazing people so I wanted to do an even better job.

I started off with white pad with PO85RD and there was minimal difference if anything at all. I then bumped it up to white pad with PF that did quite well however I had to make three passes with that combo to get to results I was happy with. I decided for most of the vehicle I would just use the combo of white and menz PF as I found the softness in the polishing pad was preferable over using a combo like Yellow and SIP and finish up with White, PF then White and PO85RD. It took me about 2-3 hours to get to this point. Was it worth it? Yes. Whoops just noticed that I am missing a step that I didn’t take a picture of. The last picture above was after my second hit of the white pad and PF and not the third. ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0747.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0747.jpg) Passenger side front passenger panel 50/50. ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0748.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0748.jpg) Side mirror ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0751.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0751.jpg) Sun shot of hood ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0752.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0752.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0754.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0754.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0755.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0755.jpg) Above are 50/50’s of different areas of the passenger door. ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0756.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0756.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0758.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0758.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0760.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0760.jpg) If you are allergic to sexy legs turn a blind eye to these 50/50. ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0762.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0762.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0763.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0763.jpg) Front passenger door and related area corrected. ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0766.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0766.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0767.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0767.jpg) ![http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0768.jpg](http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/nickowl/Nissan%20350z/DSC_0768.jpg) Plastic Trim on passenger side.
