Haven't posted here in a while, thought I'd post what happened over the weekend.

I haven't had any free time to detail in a long time - so when I got the chance to do a quick detail I went for it. All it took was 2 hours. Same night, I parked outside Walmart while grabbing some groceries - when I walked out there were 5-6 people standing around looking at it. To quote what was said: what in the hell did you do to make it shine. Damn son.

Honestly, it's a 5 year old Nissan, so there's really not much to look at. I snapped a quick shot with my phone (please excuse the poor quality).

This is what I used:
1- Pressure wash -> Hand Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class (microfiber mitt) -> another pressure wash
2- Swirl Remover (Meguiar 2.0 light cut) @ 4.5K where needed & Ultimate Polish
3- Collinite 845 (hands down best ever) @ 2.5K + CG Hybrid B7

Even better when they say that looking at white, not the easiest color to show the wet shiny look on!

I had an Altima in that color and always kept it clean and polished. People always complimented on the color and shine, and I wondered if it's because 80% of people with cars this color don't wash or take care of them at all leading to them looking constantly dingy and lifeless? Really dose glow when taken care of good job!
