Oakes - Detailed: 2009 Nissan 370z - White Pearl

[Oakes]

This past weekend a 2009 Nissan 370Z in White Pearl snuck into the garage, I have to start locking the doors around here! The car arrived "driven" which is my way of saying dirty, in a good sense, so the prep started right away. After the prep, the body did show a good bit of swirls and micro marring, nothing tragic though, and the paint had consistent readings from the mid-high 80s to the 120s. Not the thickest, but not horrible either. The pictures will speak for themselves on the process of the detail and what was covered, Mikhael and I rather enjoyed this car as it was enjoyable to work on and we got a lot of gloss out of the pearl paint.
