I was wondering if it's normal to have your body kit outshine the rest of your max when you initally install the kit. Does it just take some time before it blends in. My artic pearl is full of dirt and tar that has built up over the year, so the kit kinda sticks out. Outshining the rest of the car. Nissan bumpers also fade over the year making it harder to match the rest of the car. My front and rear bumper is kinda yellow compared to the rest of the car. I guess I need to do a better job of scrubing.

 

Try using a clay bar on the body to get rid of the contaminates, then get some good wax...

 

Trung, where the pics at??? Can't wait to see it

 

Car isn't done yet.

 

Have the rest of the car professionally detailed. ie.. machine polished/waxed etc..

 

its been a while since ive done that-how much does it cost these days?

 

The paint has already faded a bit and had some oxidation, most likely the kit won't match you're paint, not unless you repaint the whole car with the kit.

 

Depends on if the clear is oxidized or of the paint under the clear has been affected.
The bodyshop should have color matched the car's current color. But if the clear needs help, then the new paint/clear will be alot glossier than the old paint.
Can't really tell unless you get the old clear buffed/waxed.

 

How much did the local detailer quote you?

 

You can easily remove oxidation...Nissan paint isn't tooo bad in that category. A Porter-Cable w/ a good paint cleaner (particularly Klasse AIO) will do the trick.

 

Average exterior detail can run $100-150.

 

Is that your website?

 

Cute flash.

 

it might be that the paint they used on the body kit is of much better quality than the oem paint

 

i'm sure the get will get dirty very soon
