I detail therefore I am
Well, I got the rest of my PB order in Tuesday and spent all day Wednesday and most of this moring finishing it up. The sucky part is my PC is dead and had to do all of this by hand. My back is damn sure feeling it right now too. Some parts did not turn out as good as I like because I am still lacking some of the tools of the trade but rest assured my collection is growing fast!

So here was the method and some picture goodness for all to see and give opinions on. My camera sucks so I apologize in advance for the poor picture quality. Yes, this is my 2004 Nissan Murano.

NTX wash (2 bucket system)
Wolfgang Clay (Pulled some nasty stuff off too)
NTX wash (2 bucket system)
PB Polish Cleaner
EX-P to seal
Nattys
Stoner Glass Cleaner
PB Natural Look to dress the interior
PB Trim Restore on wheel wells and tires
All towels used were Cobra MF

Here it is dirty as hell

Silver is hard to get to "pop out" at the eye but you can see the depth here

Not the best job in the world and certainly not the worst either. All in all I had fun doing it and look forward to doing the wife's car as soon as I get my PC replaced and my LGCM. Enjoy!
 
NIce JOb! I bet you cant wait to get the PC back in action. Good to see another MN DCer!

Your car looks great! How much time did you spend on detailing the Murano? How did your wheels and tires turn out? Got pics?

Wheels and tired turned out OK. I dont have a brush to clean them with so they were not as good as I liked. I will post some pics here in a few minutes.

I spent 6 hours on Wednesday and 3 hours today....would have been a little quicker but as I said before my PC died :(
 
That looks great!!! I love Muranos. I was going to get one of them as my first car but decided on the Silverado. That looks really good!!!!
 
Cool vehicle and a very nice detailing job! Looks like your camera worked fine too! :bigups

Given the price that we pay for vehicles nowadays, it's a shame that the manufacturers can figure out how to paint a vehicle "without" orange peel. :(

Salesmen will say anything ... :nono
 
It is a shame isn't it. My new Tacoma looks just like the rear passenger door on your Murano in places. I hate orange peel.
 
Nice job on the Murano:)

ORange peel can be thanked to robotics ...and trying to keep the price of vehicles down...the cost to have a person spray and repair the sprayed faults is much higher..:dunno
