Hard to say. Maybe, as you say, he was cheating, or he tried to pick up somebody's girl friend, and her boyfriend found out. Or, several other things could have happened. He could be a real-estate-rep who had to foreclose on someone's house, or a loan officer who had to repo a car, and they got back at him. He could have used a racial or political slur around the wrong people.
Still, IMO, that doesn't merit something like this. People who would do senseless stuff like this need to get a life, and spend their time on more productive things.
Infiniti, supposedly (?), is now using a special paint process that makes it much more resistant to scratching/chipping than on older models.......but, of course, would be unlikely to withstand something as harsh as a keying. And ther G35, of course, is too old a model to have that newer, more stronger paint process.
And, last, why put a dozen key marks on each body panel when putting just ONE on each panel would have the same effect....and force a repainting of the panel? The more time you spend on a vandalizing job like this, the more likely you will get caught. That alone doesn't make sense...but, when people get passionately angry, sense doesn't always prevail.

You're joking, I assume.
Light surface scratches can sometimes be buffed out, or rubbed out with a nice light-abrasive scratch remover like SCRATCH-OUT (a product I highly recommend, but not with something like this). This is WAY too deep for simple buffing. When you see a white line like that with each scratch, that shows it went not only down through the clearcoat layers but the colored-paint layers as well.....all the way down to the primer and anti-corrosion layer. Even harsher-abrasive polishing and rubbing compunds won't work, and if they did, they would leave deep swirl marks around the scratches. The only real answer to something like this is a professional repaint

But it still gets back to my earlier point, above.....why a dozen scratches on each panel when only one would have the same effect, and force a repaint?
Maybe the guy was trying to have the car totalled and collect on it...but even an early-model G35 from 2002 or so would probably need more than just a repaint to be totalled....especially if it was a low-priced paint job at Maaco or Earl Scheib.
