Well, here is my new 96 GXE. Just waxed the sh** out of it. Let me know how you guys like the pictures.


First mod will be Tein Basics! (hopefully in a couple of months )

 

...

 

Damm. I gotta get my shades that SOB is gleaming. Nothing like a freshly waxed balck car. Sweet

 

thanks, and the paint is actually dark green! Hard to tell in those pictures.

 

Great job..

 

Did you use a buffer?

 

yeah, i used the buffer to put it on, hand cleaned, and then buffered again.

 

Very nice...I wish I had the weather out here in CT to wax my car, but I dont want to get frost bite doing it. Great job.

 

Yeah, I wanna wax my car, it needs it! It's so cold down in NJ and my garage currently has a crap load of furniture in it cause we just bought another house in NC...maybe I should take a road trip down there and wax it! Seems like a good enough reason! HAHA

 

So I assume you used a cleaner wax to get all the **** out of it?

 

we have good weather for now, it is suppose to rain in a couple of days thou. Hope you make it before then!

I just used the regular paste wax by turtle wax.

 

looks good man

 

looks awesome

 

I just can't wait to get mine in 4 days... great job!

 

looks like mine, good job on the waxing.

 

I always wanted a buffer. Maybe I will find one at Goodwill someday.

 

Don't just start buffing with any old buffer. Make sure its a random orbit buffer or you will burn your paint up if you don't have the skill for a rotary one.

 

yeah- and clay?

 

Looks good. Like that OM sign

 

its going to poor there.......right now in cali....its cats and dogs......good luck in a few days

 

You beat me to posting about waxing my car but it looks good. My neighbors say I wax my car too much but I like the results of what it does.

 

That is one pretty wax job! Your car looks spotless! I've been using the Maguiar's NXT gen polish on mine since it came out. The shine it puts on is like none other I ever had. The stuff lasts too, which is a concern many had when it came out. It has lasted through a nasty salt-filled winter here in Pennsylvania. A while ago I needed my hood buffed out because of the chips all over it. I touched up as many spots as I could. Then my neighbor and I wet sanded the surface and he used his buffer brought home from work and buffed it all out. It was an amazing difference. Some here said it wouldn't come out right and I should just get the hood repainted. Glad I didn't listen to them! Any way, after all my ramblings, you have a beautifully clean Max, my friend.

 

Yeah thanks, I am well aware of the types as I used to buff floors. My car has been sitting in the sun and it looks like the Japanese only put about a ten year paint job on the nissan.

 

Nice work, damn I should go get my ride waxed :x

 

same here... but weather here in so cal has been so damn bad. rain is like every other week for the past like 2-3 months.

 

looks VERY CLEAN

 

Thanks all.
ones wondering what buffer it was: I used a single-handed rotary buffer from Turtle Wax along with it's paste. I got the whole kit for around $30 at Home Depot.




The OM sign is a personal touch, I just need to re-design it with a better vinyl. Glad you like it.

 

I hope you knew what you were doing with that rotary buffer! It could look really great b/c whatever damage you "might" have caused is well concealed right now by the use of fillers in the wax. Only time will tell once the wax wears away if your burned anything. I hope it goes your way though! get a PC- Its safer

 

That NXT is expensive. I just bought some Dupont stuff for about five bux. There was some marine wax for 2 bux but I thought it might be harder to do by hand.

 

very clean and shiny!! One of these days, im going to dedicate one whole day to the max, cleaning up whatever i need to clean, inside and out.

 

I've been using the rotary for over 2 years now, have had no problems with the paint. BTW, A PC???

 

PC = Porter Cable 7424 or 7336 Random Orbit polisher.

Nice work.

 

Nice wax job on the car.

Is that an Om???
