Totally agree with Timmy there.. it's hard to maintain.. :/

 

Investing in a good DA polisher will make it easier.

 

Committed you say? Well, I currently have an 07 Charger that still looks like she was new and most everyone I know already says I need to be somewhat committed due to how meticulous I am about maintaining vehicles.

 

ok then i guess we'll be welcoming you to the family soon enough haha. Na i live in NY and theres too many retards out here so my car has a lot of scratches already

 

Palomar Mountain last week....

 

Dude... you're not exclusive to retards. They live EVERYWHERE! If/when I purchased a Maxima, I'll post pics. I'm not a "newbie" for forums in general, just on this one... I know the rules... new car = must post pics. LOL

 

looking forward to it

Thanks Timmy.... I hope I'm making the right decision. It's been a hard one ever sincve my Charger got hit. 106K miles and the only issue with her is the metal block I have about her being wrecked. About to leave for the Nissan dealership.

 

2013 Crimson Black Maxima with Sport and Teck packages:

http://forums.maxima.org/general-max...ml#post8696295

 

Just 55w 5k hid's, tints, front lip, and eibach springs to my crimson black max so far

 

looks nice bro! the charger looks sweet as well

 

Thanks Timmy. Not gonna lie... I miss my Charger. She was one of those cars that you just connected with.

 

OK guys and gals... From what I've read and heard, the Crimson Black color is not necessarily a limited production run but it does seem that a limited number are produced in relation to all other Maxima colors. Does anyone have any information on this?

 

I dont know if its a limited edition or not, but it's a cool color though!!!!!

 

I just got 13 Crimson with Black interior. Has anyone put that 3M clear film on the car ?

 

What kind of wax and wash are you using ?

I had a color very similiar on an Lincoln MArk 7 years ago and loved it. Thanks

 

Essjunin's got the 3m on his hood, I believe, but his Max is white.

 

where did u get the stillen calipers?

 

 

handwash carwash out here in NY its expensive but its somewhat worth it just still a lot of idiots and such out here in NY

 

How do you like the 3M and what did you pay for it ? My dealer wants $695

 

This is my 2nd car with PPF, and we also have it on the wife's truck - so I am sold.

Think I paid $600-700 for PPF and window tint combination.

 

Just bought a 2011 Maxima Sport in Crimson Black. Will post pics shortly!

What % tint did you guys all put on your max? I am trying to decide how dark to go with it.

 

My 2013 Crimson seems to scratch the clear coat very easy. Big mistake taking it through even a touchless car wash

Any special kind of wax working better on removing the scratches ?

Thanks

 

I used Meguiars Ultimate Compound on my Charger and it worked quite well. She was 6 yrs old when I traded her and people still thought she was new.

A DA polisher and the correct cutting pad will work wonders.

 

DA polisher ?

 

Did you get sratches in the clear coat on your charger like the way the Crimson Black Maxima does ? Thanks

 

DA= Dual Action.

 

Thanks, can you reccomend a brand/model and cuttting pad ?

 

I have the Meguiars DA and it has worked well so far. I think the cutting pad is the 6.5'' #W7006.
You will also need the compound. I had been using the polish but just bought the "Ultimate Compound" which I haven't used yet.

This takes the intense labor out of doing it by hand. It's a night and day difference once it's finished and waxed.
For me it was one of the best investments I've made for this car.

 

Well, I'm not really getting the scratches you are talking about on my Maxima. After several years, you do get scratches on any vehicle. I used my DA and he Meguiars Ultimate Compound and she looked good as new.

 

I'm in Minnesota and it's still winter here, longest winter since I moved here in 2005 by far as I'm in Southern MN

Anyway I ran it through a touchless car wash and after I noticed the scuffs, scratches. They are coming out as I hit them as I see them and was away last week.

I NEVER use car washes but my last car ( Infiniti) started to rust out here so I was afraid to leave the salt on it long.

I have to find one of those bays where I can spray it down myself during the winter

 

I used to use Zymol, talk about labor intensive with that pre cleaner that they recommended you apply with your fingers, long time ago

I'd be afraid to hit this color with any sort of compound unless I had no other choice

Is this a decent DA or do I need the pro model...........Thanks

 

It's expensive but I purchased the professional. I don't have any experience with the other models. You may want to read the reviews for the other models and then decide. There are also other brands out there that are probably comparable to the Meguiars Pro.

The compound that Meguiars sells is made for surface swirls/small scratches.
Remember it's the clear coat that is being hit and not the base color.

 

If you think it's worth it I'll buy the pro, is this it, price decent ? Thanks


Is this the correct pad

 

That looks like it. Shop around for the best price....I got mine from Amazon. Porter Cable also makes DA's.
