I spent three hours washing, waxing, vacuuming...you name it I just about did it. But man was it worth it. My wife thinks I'm nuts because I keep looking at the Max and this big grin comes across my face....damn, it sure looks sweet all cleaned up. Just thought I'd share.
Oh ya, the one thing I didn't do is use a clay bar because I'm not sure were to get one...so if you know which is the best let me know. Thanks

Yea, I get that feeling too...
When I'm done, it puts a smile on my face like when I first got the car. IT kinda reminds of that Hyundai commercial where theguy asks his wife who's car is parked outside and she's like its his

i get to clean my max this weekend. we have this moth infestation thingy going on right now, and on one drive home, i must have hit about 100 of them, because the whole front of my car -- headlights, grille, front edge of hood, windshield, side mirrors, sunroof deflector is covered with moth guts.... i drive 44 miles hi-way to get home from work, and it seemed that the sky was full of them....... but they are no match for a 85mph maxima.... squish.....
big buggers too, they leave a good long guts trail...

It definitely gives you a feeling of accomplishment when you're all done. I wash mine about 2 times a week. If I don't have the time for a full wash I do a Meguiars quick detail on it. I love turning heads when I drive down the main strip where I live. Maximas supposedly have a rep for bad paint. I beg to differ. Peace out. Quick question. Whats a good product to remove surface scratches. Such as the key scratches by the keyhole. (Previous Owner left these for me) It boggles the mind to think that a car with keyless entry has key scratches by the keyholes. Things that make you go "Hmmmm?".

two times a week???? man, that is some dedication. unfortunately, i do not have such time to devote to washing my car. dont know about removing light scratches..... rock chips i fill in with touch up paint. i have a lot of stuff from griots garage (www.griotsgarage.com) and i remember that they said if the scratch is not all the way thru the paint, you can use a "fine hand polish" that they sell that is lightly abrasive, and that can remove/blend in the scratches.

You're right about the muscles, woke up this morning and I think I can feel every muscle in my back. Didn't help that I went to the gym last night either...
Of course it had to rain today, but I was still admiring the car...actually, makes the car look really cool when it's wet!
Now I have to tackle the engine bay.
