Cleaned up my Maxima

Here are a few pictures of my 1998 Maxima that I detailed this past weekend. The car has 99,000 miles on it. The car is detailed about every 3 - 4 months, so I had a good finish to start with.



I washed it first with Dawn

Quik Clay Detailed

Using my Porter Cable 7224, I then used

D.A.C.P. with the W - 7000 series pad

Followed by 3M SMR with a Yellow W - 8006 pad

the finished off with Medallion Premium Paint Protectant with the W - 9000 finishing pad.



I used the Ultimate Bonnet M-9920 to remove each step of polish, and then I wiped down with the Ultimate Wipe, M-9910.



Two questions I have. How should I clean my micro fiber bonnet and wipes? Instead of using the MPPP as my last step, if I had used the new NXT Tech wax, would it remove the 3M SMR I applied or enhanced the finish as the MPPP did?

The sun is in a different position, so the color appears a little darker.

Hey, I thought Mastercraft only made boats? :D



Just kidding, the car looks great - I have always loved that body style Maxima. Kids are great helpers, teach him how to use the PC so you don't hurt your back working on those lower panels. :xyxthumbs
