Just finished my first detail on my 1997 Nissan Maxima. I used Meguirs Deep Cyrstal paint cleaner, followed by Scratch-X, followed by Deep Crystal Polish and Meguiars Gold Class Wax. It`s the best its ever looked.:cool:

Looking good! I think the Deep Crystal stuff is a really good "bang for your buck" product. That`s what I started using when I "graduated" from Turtle Wax type of products. I still use it on friends` and family cars that are going up for sale, trade-in or being turned in at the end of a lease. A really good look for $15!

Thanks. I already have a front strut bar on it and I plan on doing a sway bar, intake, and y pipe in the near future. I also ordered the clear front blinker lights last week so they should be hear any day now.

Looks great! :xyxthumbs



I`m not sure how you used the Scratch-X, but regardless whether you used it as a general polish or for scratch removal, you may want to reverse the useage of Scratch-X and the DC Cleaner. They`re both basically similar abrasive products but Scratch-X is supposed to be a bit stronger. You may remove some of the Scratch-X fillers but that`s what the DC Polish (glaze) step is for anyway.



Did you clay the car too?

Forgot to mention that I clayed it about a month ago. Didn`t think it was necessary to do again. Clay bar definitely worked wonders.

Are you a member of Maxima.org?

If not, you should be... You can learn a lot there.

See you there. :)

Nice job, especially for using consumer products exclusively.
