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.

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 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.

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.

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'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

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

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.

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.
