    ...time to formulate a plan of attack for the Maxima. As we last saw Maxine, she had been Klassed back in November and it`s about time for a reapplication. Here`s my plan of attack:



    a) Wash car with Dawn and Alcohol to strip the Klasse off

    b) Clay using Clay Magic bar

    c) 2x-3x 3M SMR with my PC 7336 at 3 or 4

    d) Klasse AIO 2x

    e) Klasse SG 3x

    f) Pinnacle Souveran Topper



    The inside is going to be treated with EF Spot Remover and upholstery cleaner and then taken to a detailing shop with a steam extractor to clean the interior. Then I am going to clean the dash with EF HI and treat it using 303 or Vinylex.





    Then I have 3 more detailing projects after this one



    - My Pastor`s 2000 Concorde (Same as Maxima)

    - My father`s 1999 Navigator (Yes, the dreaded Navigator)

    (Same as Maxima)

    - My girlfriend`s 2001 Blazer



    Also, I do plan to detail my mother`s 450SL.



    Also, I have a detailing project when I get the `02 Maxima.

    I have several cars waiting as well:



    1999 Chevy Express (never detailed)

    1997 Ford Venture minivan (never detailed)

    Part of a 1988 Audi I started (never detailed)

    1993 Tempo (never detailed)

    Brand new Ford Lighting

    Possibly a Ford Crown Vic.



    I keep putting them off and the list keeps getting bigger, I`m really in for it when it gets warm, these people are mostly family so they don`t forget the promise I made to detail thier car for free, they`ll be cashing in on those rain checks soon enough

    My 1998 Blazer (green)



    Wife`s 1998 Regal GSE (green/silver)



    Wifes New 2002 F150 Lightning (black)



    My 2000 Firehawk (minor touch-ups as the car has not seen the light of day in 3 weeks already anyways, is in storage - black)



    Mother`s 1998 Buick Century (gold)



    Grandfather`s 2001 Buick Century (silver - never detailed before)



    Grandfather`s 1995 Olds Delta 88 Royale LSS (Green - never detailed before, requires drivers side touch-up paint and blending/wetsanding due to being keyed)



    Uncle`s 1996 Oldsmobile Silloette (sp?) minivan (white..... never detailed - used to transport deer during hunting season )



    Aunt`s 1989 Oldsmobile 98 Royale (red - recently repainted BC/CC)



    Various neighbor`s cars in various conditions, including an all original 1977 Olds Cutlass Supreme Salon (lack/white-landau-roof, car has 3500 original miles, owned by an elderly couple - only unoriginal items are battery and engine fluids - note the vehicle has probably never traveled on the highway or above 55 MPH. gets washed every 2 days year round by the owner at the local DIY coin-op, regardless of whether it needs it or not.) :scared



    :xyxthumbs beat that everybody LOL....



    and those are just the cars I have agreed to do "at cost".... not counting full-paying customers.

    I feel like such a piker. Just one car [the AC Cobra] to take care of, and my wifes 2000 Chevy Venture van. The 1990 Dodge Dynasty has one foot in the grave already and am afraid to detail it out, might knock the other one in.

    Question Invisible Bra

    I am starting to rethink putting an invisible bra on my wife new Porsche Cayenne S. We live in an area with "high bug impact" during the summer. I am planning on a great detail using Blackfire prior to installation. Here is my question: What do you use to polish after the clear bra is on? What is the recommendation about putting it on at all? Thanks in advance.

    I just put clear bra on and finding the right installer is the key.

    I`m getting a clear bra. The installer said to remember that plastic is porous and the reason a clear bra might yellow or discolor is that they get dirty. Keeping it clean is key. He recommended using Plexus. He also said it would be fine to top with a wax or sealant as long as it is not colored. I am planning on topping mine with a wax like P21S or similar wax. I have seen other users on the forum top with sealants like Blackfire or Powerlock.
    I hear voices in my mind and you’re worried that you’re the freak.

    Agree 100%. Get a recommendation from someone who had one installed a couple of years ago. Installers come & go, some go because they`re crooked & don`t stand behind their work, like one I know. When you ask people who`ve had it done for a name, often you`ll get names of folks you should stay away from; that info is gold.
