2010 Nissan Maxima SV detailed

Hey all, I haven't posted a car in quite a while. This is my DD. It needed some serious love. I apologize for no before pics, but I'm thrilled with the afters. This was my process. Steps 3, 4, and 5 were done via Porter Cable 7424 and various LC Pads.

1. Wash with Wash and Wax
2. Clay
3. Ultimate Compound
4. #7 Show Car Glaze
5. Ultimate Liquid Wax (which I've fallen in love with btw)

Like I said, I only have some after shots.











And now some refection shots.







Feedback and comments are welcomed.

Thanks for looking!

Marc

Car looks great man! How long did this all take you?

Rusty Calipers, I have the same thing probably going to have to paint them soon.

SO thats what my SV would look like detailed! Looks great. ? thou. Is the Wash and Wax just soap? I thought you wash your car with a mild detergent to remove old wax before you clay bar it?

Car looks great. Have you ever tried M21 synthetic sealant and then a coat of high-tech yellow wax? Works great on dark cars and since you already use meguiars products I was just curious if you have used them.

Took me about 8 hours total. And yes, rusty calipers. Hopefully getting a paint job in the spring. Any color suggestions?

You know, usually I would, but i was out of my usual Megs Gold Shampoo. It really didnt matter since it was getting stripped off anyhow. Kind of a waste I know.

Awesome job! I did the same thing this past weekend. I just got a Meguiars G110v2 for Christmas and went to town. Since my car is black, I used the Turtle Wax Black Box Kit.
