I braved the mosquitos and finally took it upon myself to wash, clay, and wax my Max! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's not too bad for 6 year old paint. After washing it I was almost depressed after looking at the paint closely, but the clay bar lifted all the junk off and I'm amazed! I used the Mother's clay bar and wax. Hopefully I don't get the West Nile Virus now...
In short, we were removing some pretty heavy oxidation from the hood of this car. It took 5-6 passes with BOTH a rotary and a random orbital to get the hood looking right.

Just finished using the clay bar,polish and a couple coats of wax,makes the mystic jade look so awesome.Gotta make it look good for that new spoiler coming any day now...
^^^ Ultimate compound is some good stuff. I wanted to try M105/205 but couldn't find it locally. I used Ultimate Compound that I had in the garage over the weekend on my Altima that was swirled from wetsanding. It took quite a few passes with my porter cable and an orange pad but I was able to remove about 90% of them. Followed it up with NXT2.0 and then Collinite 845. I'm now set for the winter.
Used my Meguiar's G110v2 Professional Dual Action Polisher the wife got me for Christmas to get Blaxima all cleaned up, using the Turtle Wax T3KT Black Box Car Wax Kit.

Just spent 9 hours on mine yesterday getting her all ready for Spring.
Washed, clay-bared, poilshed, waxed, and buffed. New wiper blades and rain x. Detailed the rims and put some tire gel on. My interior is always keept spotless so I did not have to do much. Just a quick leather cleaner (once a week), shine on the vinyl, and replaced the cup holder assembly since my previous one broke.
