Winter Coat:



SSR1 - worked about like 3M SMR but came off a little easier.



AIO - same as always



SG X 3 - I put one coat on waiting 6 hours to buff off, the 2nd and 3rd I used the wipe-wipe off(SG 2.0) - 24 hours between. I've put on about a dozen or more coats (over last couple of years) and still have some trouble removing. This time I seemed to have a couple of slight streaks on my hood that in the past go away after a few washings - I don't know why. I needed just over one oz. for the three coats.



UPP X 2 - After battling the SG this was a joy to remove. I waited an hour before removing each coat. This was my first use with the latest version of UPP.

I've now used Klasse and PUPP and have found that the SG is a joy to come off, while the PUPP streaks, smears, and is a real pain to get off. Looks great though!!
 
As a fellow Maxima owner, you probably already know about the horrible paint chipping issue that Nissan has with the 5th generation Maximas.



I like the hood deflector idea, but I would highly recommend a clear bra (i.e. Xpel, Stonguard, Invincishield) for the front bumper. I installed the paint protection film on my 2003 Maxima before it even had 100 miles.

Greg,



I'm shocked to here you have issues w/UPP - your's are the first negative comments I've read as far removal goes. Apply thinly just a with SG, allow to dry 30-60 minutes and remove. Is this the procedure you followed ? I've been using SG for 2+ years now and still have some issues but the UPP was like wiping off P21S - in my experience.



The SG after 3 coats left a candy-coated look and the UPP added a nice shine and more slickness. I may skip SG now just to avoid the hassle.
 
Dean,



I bought the clear bug deflector and had the inside painted the car's color - it blends in well. As far as an Xpel type product I didn't want to install something permanent.



Yes, Nisssan paint sucks ! Unfortunately Nissan builds some nice vehicles but does not stand behind them very well. I had three chips inside one month. My father's Caddy has been across country and more and has maybe two chips.
