So this is kind of a follow up thread on two cars, the first being the Honda Accord i posted about a month ago, and the second being my girlfriends car that i applied Collinite No.845 to back in December. It was your basic wash and vac (sorry no interior pics) to document how the waxes were holding up.

My trunk filled with stuff that i took to her house to wash the cars

First my girlfriends car...1998 Nissan Altima

After some AIO and an orange pad, followed by Natty's Blue Paste, I think AIO did a pretty good job at clearing up the hazing.

Pretty good flakes for a 9 yr. old car that had never been polished/waxed before i got ahold of it in December.

And both lights after AIO and Natty's, both were equally as bad

The next ones are dirty pictures of my car, and some beading action of liquid Souveran.

Let me know what you guys think. I forgot to get some beading pictures of how the Collinite was holding up after 3 months.

Looking very good! That AIO really cleaned up the lights. Did you put Natty's Blue on the lens? The collinte seems to be holding up aren well, as is your liquid souveran.

Yup after i cleaned it up with the AIO, i topped it with the natty's blue. I figured the lights should get some protection also.

Both cars looking good!! On the Altima, did you put on another coat of wax before the AFTER pictures, or was it still the Collinite 845 since Dec? If another coat wasn't put on, it looks really good after 3 months!

Very nice detailing buddy, the paint looks flawless and it's popping...crazy popping!!!

Okay, I have to ask though what's up with the cop in the background....come one tell us what you really do in such a nice area and cops all over the place lol...

Seriously though, I really like this picture. The background looks so nice, looks as though it was beside the beach.....is it? You never know I suppose.

Nope, no wax this time. The Collinite is still holding up from three months ago, i find it to be quite amazing.

Killr yup i am in south florida, this detail was done last weekend before the water restrictions went into effect. I believe it was at 12:00 am Thursday the 22 that they went into effect. I had to take advantage that we still had water. But yes as someone suggested, i must place an order of DP 4 in 1.

Nica no unfortunately no it is not near the beach, far from it actually,nearest beach is about 30 minutes away..lol.. Its a community that began building about 6 years back or so, initially houses went for 220-250k and now are up to around the 550k region. Its quite unfortunate that its risen up so much, but most the families that are in this neighborhood have been here since the beginning, hence the cop, which i think are seriously underpayed for what they do.


Thanks guys for all the kind words, looking to place another order from AG to maintain these two cars during this drought.
