I picked up a black 2010 Maxima,the pictures just doesn't show how bad the finish really is.

Paint is rough, swirls beyond belief for only being three years old, early signs of oxidation.
I'll start on it tomorrow, the wheels are also terrible.
Will try to correct it in 2 days but might take 3 days to get it like I want it.

Few pics below

Do the amount of work they are paying you for. That's when you know that's as good as you want to get it.

They are paying me well,they want the car to look as best as I can get it.
I have a shot at it, just so much work but ready for the challenge:
Bring it on I say!

I clayed the car last night, can't remember the last time I had one this bad , serious over spray.

The paint looks dead to me, I'll have to really compound it well before any polishing is to begin.
There is zero protection on this car, it's ashame that someone would let such a nice car go to crap.

I'll first try my v34 along with CG's MF cutting pad, if that doesn't work for me I'll then try m105.
You can really see the damage since I washed it and clayed.

I'll post some after pics, stay tuned Geeks. :dblthumb2:

Did a 50-50 on the hood and found the 105 & 205 is the best combo for me on this car.
Might be hard to tell the difference on this video but trust me, it looks good. :xyxthumbs:

I'm still amazed today at how well the 105 & 205 works.
The door on this vid was really messed up but you will see a big difference once I was done.

Side Note:

I saw this video (applause btw)

You need another machine, :D

GG (cough... Cough...) for starters... Life time warranty is hard to beat,


I am debating between a Rupes and a Flex though... Maybe I'll just get both :D

I have a GG DA and a PC but use my drill on small, tight areas:xyxthumbs:

I have a couple of vids using my GG.
