new morning, new ride, new detail

**PA DETAILER** · 08-19-2012, 11:40 AM

got tired of jeeps poor build quality. water leaks etc... for the 8 months i owned it. picked up a new 12 nissan xterra pro-4x saturday. instead of a buy back and all that crap i was issued a deal on the nissan. its all good. i lost nothing in the 8 months and am even at a lower payment. life is good. did not really plan on a full detail this morning, but glad its done.

Very nice...I`m also a believer in TPS , then CS.....

**PA DETAILER** · 08-19-2012, 12:15 PM

yes sir. paint was really in great shape for new. the P&S still impresses me. just dissappears into the paint. and love the crystal seal. hense i will not be detailing that roof again anytime soon. lol...

What pad machine used for the TPS?....I do a lot of this exact type vehicle..

I`ve been happy with a white or green CCS on a GG6....

**PA DETAILER** · 08-19-2012, 01:11 PM

did this by hand. foam pad.

Great upgrade man. The xterra is a timeless design.

**Rocket** · 08-19-2012, 02:11 PM

You had the Arctic addition right?

Nice new SUV though I always liked the Nissan Xterra

**PA DETAILER** · 08-19-2012, 02:44 PM

yes. left the cult.

did mind numbing research on the pro 4x xterra and it all came back good. still body on frame. rockford fosgate stereo. bilstein shocks. strong motor. all seems good.

**PA DETAILER** · 08-19-2012, 04:09 PM

Life is too short to drive something you don`t enjoy. Heck. I trade cars every 6 weeks!

Nice X, you`re gonna love the VQ40. Have the same motor in my 2007 Nismo Frontier and it`s a hoss. Luckily you picked up a `12 as all the bugs in the motor seemed to have been worked out. 65K on mine so far and runs like a top *knocks on wood*. If you do your own oil changes you are definitely gonna have fun (not...) the first time, especially if you have big hands.

good to hear. sounds like you know nissan. even a nice stock exhaust note on the beast. seems like gobs of torque.

i like your new ride and that very nice, reflective shine. definitely no sense in keeping a ride you`re not happy with. i think i could be happy with a new ferrari
