Detailed the max the other day...

Wednesday i finally detailed my car, it came out very well, many of the swirls came out. i warn you the before pictures may make you sick lol. And the afters are going to look a little dusty because i had to take pics the day after so there is some polen on the car.

Process:
Wash with NXT car wash
Clayed Front Bumper
#83 with Polishing Pad
#80 with Finishing Pad
Klasse SG by hand
NXT Wax by hand

Enjoy!

Looks great. I hate swirl marks. Black looks soooo good when it's done right. That trim strip in the 6th pic looks like it's chrome!

Looks good! Go to one of those paintless dent removal places and get that door ding popped out.

Good job. I think you can get the rest of those swirl marks out. I definitely don't envy the black owners because of that. But when you do get the swirls out, nothing can beat a black car. Try this website out. There are tons of people who know a lot about detailing.

Wow! It's crazy how shiny that black can get. My Dad's Accord Hybrid was already covered in swirls the day we picked it up...black is bad for that. Looks amazing when it's cleaned and waxed though. I agree - that one pic looks like chrome! Black has gotta be the hottest color on a Max!!! Good job! I like your headlights too and the altezzas blend in pretty nice on there.
