Trufacts Racing Silver 350Z Stage 1 Detail
We had the pleasure of working on a nice 350Z a few weeks ago and the customer brought the car to us to get a Stage 1 Polish Job done on it along with our wheel package which includes removing the wheels and polishing the wheel faces along with de-greasing and dressing the inside of the wheel wells

Man, always impressed with the work done. The fact that you're wearing a Nismo jacket just sets it off for me lol.

I want to apologize for the lack of pictures, it was quite cold when we were working on this Z and we were in work mode to get out of the cold ASAP, along with silver is hard to get pictures of imperfections on.
When the car first arrived it didn't look too bad, minus the brownish tint it had. The paint was quite contaminated and felt like sandpaper when performing the "bag test" which is why you see the clay bar as brown instead of white as it should be. The end result we were quite happy with, and the paint is now smooth as glass! I'm glad we were able to work on this car, and for all you Z/G guys, this was a great and relatively easy to work on and with, and great results were produced.

Amazing work on the wheels! I never imagined scratches like that could be removed.
