Havent used it on the Maxima but my buddy uses it on his 87 IROC-Z camaro and I wasnt impressed, but then he waxed the whole thing with real wax and a buffer and stuff, now after he washes it and sprays it with that wax as you dry it looks better. I use finish first polish by Liqui-tech and then i use their quick polish between waxing, spray on wipe off buff lightly, works every time
Just my $.02

sounds like it is worth a try, I use Meguiar's Gold Class about every 3months, just wondered how the other stuff would work in between when I wash my car.

I use it and it makes the color of the car much richer. I feel it only lasts for one washing. Also it attracts dust.

It's not bad. I just used it the other day for the first time on my black Max. It seems to make the color richer as previously stated. It is a good alternative in between a good waxing, and hey you have to dry the car anyway--just spray the stuff on and WIPE.

On dark cars it works better. Really it wasnt meant to be used as a wax by itself, but rather to work with the wax that is already there. It "fills in gaps" where your wax has worn thin. Still, it works ok all by itself

The best waxes on earth are Zymol. Period. Thing is, you will have to donate one or two limbs to get some. They dont attract any dust, and they have special formulas for japanese paint. Gold class is the best wax you can get at the parts store. I know that some of them sell the zymol natural polish, but that is only polish, not wax.

Where can you buy Zymol? How much? Does it make the paint look deeper?

Zymol is the best. I ran out several years ago and I have been putting off buying more. I guess the Maxima is worth it. The stuff that I used to have was a two stage polish then wax. It works wonders with the little scratches that always seem to show up. http://www.zymol.com/carwash.htm

Makes the paint look REALLY deep. Especially if you multi-step. I think that they have a website where you can get a catalog. Im not sure as to pricing, but im sure they will be more than happy to help.
