Yo dudes,

Does anyone out there have a 2013 Maxima with the Performance and Tech Package? I have one and just curious how many people out there do too.

Show me pics!

 

yup ive got one. Its tech and sport.

 

< me

 

13 Tech Sport w/Nav. Crimson Black.
I'd share a picture, but I can't keep it clean. Two seconds after any car wash (save for the one's I rarely have the time to do at home), I end up with streaks and spots from residual water in the mirrors, along the trunk lid, etc.
Plus, it rains every so often here.
Should have waited for the White one.

 

I have a 2014 Tech and Sport. Pearl White and it is awesome

 

Use some Meguire's detailer to clean those streaks and spots. Worked great on my super black Maxima.

 

Ahh yeah, it would be ^him=Tech/performance package all the way.

 

I agree^
CB is stunning when all the clear-coat swirls are cut-out and it's waxed to the max. But boy what a pain to keep up. My next car will probably be white also.

 

Totally. When I wash and wax at home and get every bit of water off, it's fantastic right up until I hit a puddle, someone in front of me washes their windshield, or it rains even a drop. Then it drives me nuts. I see a few white Max's by me and they look great (and clean).

 

Thanks for the tip. I have a bottle I bought a few months ago, but if I get a wash not at my house, I am usually on the way to court or the office and don't have access. My OCD kicks in and I get mad about every little blemish.

Maybe if I'm going to get a wash next time, I'll bring the bottle and a terry towel with me so I can take care of it when I get where I'm going.

 

Avoid the terry towel and stick with a plush microfiber. Make sure you remove the tags off the towel as well as it can mar the surface. A little goes on a long way with the Quik Detailer, but if you want to be cautious especially on the black paint, use it liberally.

 

My Maxima has had paint damage fom bird poop. The first time it was on the hood and trunk lid hen7 days old. Had to have both repainted. Now, it has happened again on the hood. Insurance wise, I am afraid to have it repainted again. I might try he McGuires detailer material.


Anyone else having this issue with bird poop?

 

Prevention is the best way although it's not 100% guaranteed. I live in a forested area in the south and I get bird crap almost daily. To prevent most damage wax every 6-8 weeks and quick detail every wash. Daily, when possible, I'll take a hose or a glass of water and rinse it off. Or quick detail it. I have experienced etching and pitting due to our fine feathered friends and it sucks.

Interesting reading, I lean towards the article about the acids.

Bificus, good article. I have a bit of paint that is not orange peel, but seems tarnished in some way. I wonder if this was the cause. I bought it like that since I lovingly wash it once a week with a real sponge and meguiars class. Oh well I guess it will always be there!

 

Yes I have the Performance and tech package Maxima.

 

Sweet ride.

 

Nice thread, boys. Check out my baby. 2013 Maxima with tech and performance package. Tinted windows (12's). 2 x 10" subs in a custom box boomin' in the trunk. Be jealous. And kiss this.

2013 tech and performance package w/navigation. Tint 15

 

Yes!

 

That's just cold dude!

 

what brand billet grille do you have and can you post a front view of it please?
thanks,
Chuck

 

I have the identical car,,,,,,20% tint

 

Don't remember the brand of the billet grill but they are sold all over on Ebay.

 

I got mine from ebay as well. Black billet style. You can find a brand name from carid if you search. Here's Pearl for your viewing pleasure .

im wanting the black too. how long ago did you buy it and do you remember how much it was?
thanks

 

went to carid and searched and they have nothing in black. any ideas?

 

Ebay my friend http://www.ebay.com/itm/FITS-2009-20...43e794&vxp=mtr

 

thanks i seen that one along with one other one. is that the one you have on your car? do you have the gloss black or powdercoat black? also is it a overlay or full replacement? thanks for your help!

 

I believe I have the powder coat. And if I could, I'd replace for the gloss. I have the replacement grill not the overlay. The overlay would look cheesy IMO. Now I have a white car so I had to plasti dip the middle grill bracket and some of the edges so it looks clean. It's a great easy to do mod that'll give your Max a much different look than the others in your town.

Beauty...

 

I have that same one just I have the 4 pc. I have the gloss black. Search ebay you'll find it. I paid 180 for all 4 pcs and couldn't be happier.
And it an upper replacement and lowers are overlays.
Just paint the plastic crap behind the grill black once you take the stock hideous grill out before you put the billet in.

 

Call me weird, but I like my hideous stock grille.😬

 

I also like the stock one better than what's available aftermarket. I think the best looking one is the modified OEM grill.
