2004 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum Edition

[stilez]

Been a crazy couple of weeks here, trying to catch up on posts. I did this one last weekend; first time about 8 months back. The paint didn`t have many swirls, but there were some accumulated scratches and scuffs that needed tending. Overall, the truck was just very dirty. Being a daily driver, parked outside, I concentrated on making this one *clean* in the realest sense of the word. My finals were:



-Turtle Wax ICE via Gilmour

-Dawn Wash

-Zaino Z18 Clay with Poorboy`s S+W as lube

-Hi-Temp Tire Cleaner cut 1:1 for tires, wells, undercarriage, exhaust

-P21s Wheel Cleaner on wheels, emblems with a Swissvax brush

-EFHI cut 10:1 in many crevices areas, jams

-GR40 Trim Cleaner on all plastic/rubber trim, molding



-HTEC via rotary and LC CCS Yellow Cutting Pad @ 1400rpm (spot polish heavy defects)

-Menzerna PO106FF via rotary and LC CCS Black Finishing Pad @ 1400 rpm

-IPA wipedown



-Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX`d) on paint, glass, lighting

-Zaino Z-CS on wheels

-Zaino Z16 on tires x 2

-CG VRP cut 2:1 for wells, undercarriage, trim

-Zaino Z8 final wipedown

Looks great, how is the turtle Wax Ice working out?



Was the two step was in place to avoid introducing additional marring? Did the foam from the ICE help?

That`s what the definition of wet should be.

Looks good! I too would like to know how good ICE was with the Gilmour.
