Results of detailing.

I recently just purchased the Mothers Clay Bar paint saving kit and did it this weekend and let me tell you, its sweet....i did the clay bar and then 2 coats of meguiars cleaner wax followed by a final coat of meguiars gold class wax....it makes it shine so much more, well worth the money although it did take me quite awhile...i recommend this clay bar/wax combo to everyone...you'll be amazed at the shine you get...looks new again and soo smooth too...

This is shinny as well, even if there aren't many pics of my car.

YES! The clay bar is amazing...I had never used it before and since I bought my Maxima (almost 2 yrs ago) it had plenty of contaminates on it. Let me tell you it is sooooo smooth...the shine really comes out after the polish. Like glass. My dad will be using it on his black vette soon

Adam, how is your car after the incident you had with those chicken heads? If you are looking for a good shine, then try the zaino. You will like it especially since your car is sterling mist. Gotta warn you that you have to put in time for this. I just got done cleaning and waxing the car and it took me a little over 2 hours. I only got in one coat though. There is also a carbana wax by a company called pinnacle. I can't wait to try this stuff and see how my maxima will shine.

I detailed my exterior this weekend. I used Zymol Wax(HD Cleanse + Carbon Wax). This is the best wax on the market by far. I wish I had used it when I had originally got the car. I have used pretty much everything availiable such as Mothers, 3M, Meguiars, and Turtle Wax. If your looking for the best protection for your paint go with the Zymol HD Cleanse and Japon Wax. I bought the Zymol Carbon wax b/c I use it on my parents black exteriors, but the Japon is the right stuff for our cars.

ru4real yours is pretty shiny....mine isnt quite that shiny, but id say yours has a little to do with the lighting and darkness of your paint, mine is light blue, but still looks nice and shiny...
