6mt is really nice for the G, combine that with a Turbonetics Turbo installed by Vinny Ten Racing & youve got one of the hottest G sedans in the area.
i need a tripod badly!. i took the pics with a limited amount of time so some of them are a little blury. =(
as much as i wanted to do a full writeup, with the tight schedule i just didn't have the extra time to take before & during pics. ned had to break out before 10pm road construction began on the highway. he makes the trip into queens a few times a year for an exterior detail. hes located about 20 mins into the bronx.
ned told me about the shows hes going to attend this weekend on kind of a short notice. i was able to squeeze him in when a customer canceled a multiple day clear coat correction job. i found time for one of my favorite G35 sedans late at night. ned always does this to me, makes me work late & under the gun but hes so easy to deal with that i really dont mind. he seems to always be in a cool & relaxed mood lol.
i took his car in on wed afternoon around 7pm so i can start on it thu morning. from about 1pm & all the way straight till about 11pm i machine compounded the G under 1000 watts of halogen lighting. i took a few short breaks for lunch & dinner. i sat down to watch the NBA draft preview for a little bit as well. this is where having the dish in the shop comes up big lol. i wasn't going home that night until i got all of the machine compounding done. at least i didn't miss the draft!
i sent ned a few late night text messages on thu just to let him know about the progress on the car. his response to me was "go home & get some rest" lol.
i returned to the shop fri morning & handed the car over to johnny & humberto. they gave the car a nice hand wash & made sure to clean all crevaces with soft boars hair brushes to loosen & remove the caked up compound form the night before. we dryed & taped up the car for a second time to prepare for the machine polishing stage.
johnny followed behind me with the halogen lighting. he gave me a second set of eyes to inspect the clear coat to make sure after polishing that all swirls were gone & no buffer trails or holograms were present after polishing. once that was done humberto wiped down the panel with a fresh micro fiber towel that was dipped in a bucket of water that had 2 caps of ardex hydro gloss mixed in & then squeezed till it was damp. we work on the car one section at a time. once the fender is glassed out we move onto the drivers door, the rear door & etc...
humberto would be a third set of eyes to look over the work. basically if my eyes miss something one of them will double & triple check the work. this makes sure that i dont miss an inch of the car.
a few sections behind me johnny started to apply the first layer of protection, 1Z Einszett Glanz Wax. johnny then finished off the G with a nice coat of Collinite 915 Marque D Elegance Paste Wax. after making my way around the car, starting with the drivers fender & ending with the front bumper i then placed my Flex down on a milk crate & left the job for johnny & humberto to finish up. i was happy to be finished with my work. i could now go sit down at my desk & reply back to a few private messages from the many forums that my shop sponsors.
here is neds aka shadyg35 04 Infiniti G35 sedan 6MT Turbonetics Turboed
installed by Vinny Ten Racing. VTR is the only shop that does any performance work for the G.
ned is reppin the G-Squad hard. hes one of the few guys in the crew that actually still own a G.
Vinny, Keish & Hector moved on with different cars but ned is still having fun with his G.
The G-Squad is not all Gs anymnore. from what ned tells me they are all still very tight & attend car shows together when they can.
heres a little info on theyre club:

the swirls were not that bad but he wanted the paint as close to perfection as i could possibly make it. the trunk for some reason was in the worst condition. the swirls were a lot deeper on the trunk than on the rest of the car.
here is the G:
as always, read the pad with my neat chicken scratch to find out what was done. the 2 pics to follow are of the products used. i like doing my writeups this way!
