Pics of my wife's 07 Altima, after detailing.
 
I know it's not a Maxima, but it's close!
My wife has an 07 Altima...Majestik Blue...I thought I'd throw a few pics up. I spent the day detailing the exterior. These are the steps I used:
1-wash the car
2-dry the car
3-clay bar the car (was able to skip this step as I clayed it last month)
4-Buff car using Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover w/orange pad and Flex polisher
5-Polish car using Wolfgang Finishing Glaze w/white pad and Flex polisher
6-Apply Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (car must "cure" for 12 hours after applying sealant...you cannot let the car get wet while the sealant is curing)
7-Follow up the following day with a quick wash/dry and a coat of Pinnacle Souveran past wax.
I purchase all of my supplies from Autogeek.net

Took me the better part of a day to complet steps 1-6...I haven't gotten the wax on it yet. It's a lot of work, but this color looks stunning when it's finished!

LOL...I gathered that...They are the factory blades...If they are RainX blades, I never knew that!

I need to do this to my car, thanks for the thread. 5yrs of washing and waxing have left some swirls in there.

I just got my Max back from the stealership last night, they had to re-paint the front right corner of the bumper cover. I pulled all of the pinstriping off, and I de-badged it today. I also cleaned the carpets (front driver's side), and scrubbed the floor mats. I've got to give it a good wash and polish, but I'm going to wait a few days due to the new paint. I'll get some pics up when I finally "get-r-done".

No pics at the beach...all the pics are in my driveway. Also, I'm in Brook Park, Ohio. We border Cleveland to the South, and Parma to the East.

WOW! Thats hella shiny. You can see the clouds off the top of your wife's Altima. How long did it take you to do all this?

Most of one day to wash, dry, and buff the car with Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, followed by Wolfgang Finishing Glaze. Finally, A coat of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant.

NICE !!

Scottwax Aug 27, 2009 08:52 AM

Looks good, any sun shots or full car shots?

1hawaii50 Aug 27, 2009 12:54 PM

I didn't take any full car shots, I wasn't actually planning on taking pics. I went out to move the car and noticed the clouds reflecting off of the roof, and went in and grabbed the camera. The next time I wash it, I'll take some full car and sun pics.

supamonkey Sep 7, 2009 11:40 AM

looks great. thats some good reflection action

1hawaii50 Sep 15, 2009 05:55 PM

OK, I got some full car shots. I figure it doesn't look to shabby considering I did only a quick wash/dry yesterday afternoon. My wife then drove the car yesterday evening, and all day today, so it has 1 1/2 days worth of "road grime" on it.

It's starting to cool down in the evenings, hence the condensation on the roof:
