1997 Nissan Maxima SE

[zagato27 JR]

Hey guys, this is my dads car. He left it with me over spring break to detail it. It took me from early Monday to late Tuesday to finish the following:





Wash with Meguiar`s Gold Class

Clay with Clay Magic

Polish with PC 7424 & Pinnacle XMT Intermediate Swirl Remover

Wash again to get rid of the dusting

Pinnacle XMT Glaze

Meguiar`s tech wax





This was my second detail using the PC. I think it came out pretty good. There are still some deeper swirls that I couldn`t get rid of but the paint has regained a lot of clarity and depth.

Here you can see how much clearer the paint is. Before polishing:
