Default Detail: Nissan Altima

I've done a few cars for this buddy of mine with a few LSX's (which will be posted shortly) and this is his g/f's car he had me take care of.

The whole car had some pretty bad water etching along with the normal marring/swirls. I didn't take many before pics but it came out great.

APC+ diluted and used on the wheel wells, wheels/tires.
The whole car was done with a black LCC pad and M205 minus a few heavy areas. The clear really reacted well to this and I was pleased with the results.

For the heavy scratch you see, I stepped it up to a LCC purple hybrid foam/wool pad and M105 followed by an LCC orange pad and the new Optimum Hyper Compound Spray then followed by an LCC black pad and M205. There is a very minor section that is past the clear and would need to be wetsanded to fade it out a little more.

It was polished using SFX's line along with their wax. Tires and trim were dressed with SFX'x dressing and the wheel wells were dressed with Meguiars Natural Shine.

I have an account with Wash Solutions here local along with Steve Paztor at Show Room FX who is also local.
