Finally got the Q50 paint sorted, night and day difference honestly

    Just picked up my 2018 Q50S from Exotic Car Care yesterday after leaving it with them for a full two stage paint correction and ceramic coating and I've got to say I was a little skeptical about spending that kind of money on what is essentially a ten year old design at this point but the Malbec Black was just a mess of swirls and buffer trails from the previous owner who clearly didn't know how to wash a car properly. I've been driving around all morning just admiring how the light bends over the fenders now and even my wife who usually doesn't notice this stuff asked if I got a new car which is probably the highest compliment you can get. The guys there were super straightforward about what they could and couldn't fix, there were a few deeper scratches that they said wouldn't come out completely without wet sanding but honestly with the coating on top you can barely see them unless you're really looking. If anyone's on the fence about getting their Infiniti done I'd say just do it, the heat here just destroys dark paint and it's nice to have a bit of protection against the inevitable sandstorm season. I found them through https://www.exoticcarcare.ae/infiniti-detailing-abu-dhabi/ when I was looking for a place that actually listed Infiniti specifically instead of just grouping it under "Japanese cars" and I'm glad I took the chance because the results speak for themselves. Now I just need to invest in a good detail spray and some microfiber towels so I don't ruin all their hard work at the petrol station wash.
