2006 Nissan Frontier Nismo

Hey everyone. This is a detail that I did for my Uncle. It is a 2006 Nissan Frontier Nismo. It's fairly new but was quite dirty. The wheels and tires were pretty nasty. They aren't perfect but he just wanted me to do a quick once over on it. Washing the whole truck, wheels, tires and drying took an hour, polishing and applying the sealant was a little over an hour and the interior was a little less than an hour... not a bad detail for 3 hours .

Process:

Wash / dry
Quick polish w/ SSR2.5, polishing pad, PC, speed 6
Topped with Wolfgang DGPS
Tires- Hot shine
Interior dressing- Meg's #40
Windows got IG

Pictures:

Swirls before:




Interior after:

After pictures:














And yes, this is a reflection from the hood :rockon:

Thanks Meghan. I thought about using a different sealant or wax but IMO WGDGPS is hard to beat on dark colors...

Very nice detail there budman3. Black colour maybe a difficult colour to maintain but it sure looks great when it's detailed right.

Thank you for sharing, great turn around.

Big difference! I agree, the hood shots are cool.

Black is fun to take pictures of after a detail. Even though they don't show the swirl removal, they are still cool . The reflections given off by the WGDGPS are great. Thanks for the comments .
