White Maxima

This car belongs to the owner of the green Tahoe I did a few weeks back. I did her brother's Tahoe and am doing her bosses Tahoe this weekend. I have never done a white car and hopefully won't ever have to do one again. It came out nice and clean but there's just not much you can do to white paint that makes it stand out like darker colored cars.

I also found that I really need to invest in some sort of carpet cleaner/extractor cuz I couldnt do anything with her carpet. I used Megs Pink bottle stuff and it didn't do squat. It got one little stain out in the rear carpet but it wouldn't touch the rest. So now I get to spend more money.......WOOHOO!!!

I didn't take many before pics cuz the car wasn't that bad to start. Plus being white it probably wouldn't show that much of a difference anyway!!

Process:

Wash w/Megs GC
Clay paint and glass
Wheels and wells w/AA Tire Foam
Polish w/OP and LC yellow & Megs Maroon
KAIO w/LC white pad
Cleaned interior w/Megs APC and protected w/DP Protectant
Glass cleaned w/Stoners and protected w/DG #105 & AW
Paint covered w/DG #105 & AW
Headlights polished w/PlastX - This stuff worked good! I was very surprised!!
