    Questions on detailing my new car

    Is it intended more for restored headlights? I just want to protect my new headlights from the heat of the sun and UV rays.

    If they glazed it, I'm sure it would have washed off today. It poured down rain for a couple hours, and it still looked good. I did notice some orange rail dust in places on the car though. I totally forgot that white was notorious for showing rail dust before going with this color, lol oh well...

    Questions on detailing my new car

    Thanks for the link! I'm adding it to my list of things to get also.:props: Whoa! I didn't know OPT had a kit out just for headlights. Have you used it before? I am curious if it similar to Opti-coat, where it will streak if applied too thick. A lot of people mentioned having to polish in order...

    Questions on detailing my new car

    PlatiX uses Meguiars MDAT (which means it contains abrasives). My headlights are not damaged or hazed yellow, it's like there is translucent a film on the lights. I can only notice it when the lights are on. Whatever it is on them, it's not hard to remove. I can take my finger and swipe the film...

    Questions on detailing my new car

    Yeah, I just need to find something that isn't abrasive though. I need something that will clean without leaving fine scratches and can be applied by hand. Which brand products should I use? I actually think I have some MHP somewhere, I'll use that after they are cleaned up for protection. I'm...

    Questions on detailing my new car

    Hey everyone, I picked up my new Nissan Maxima yesterday and I am looking for some detailing product suggestions. If the weather holds out next weekend, the plan is to give the car a good hand wash and dry, light cleaner polish, followed with Blackfire Wet Diamond. The car is pearl white, so...

    I picked it up today, and it looks great. No swirls and it looks perfect like it should. :dblthumb2: It's been a long day and I am exhausted. I haven't even had the car a full day yet, and I'm already buying things for it lol. I bought a rubber trunk mat from the dealer, and I'm now ordering...

    Safest way to remove dealer advertising emblems?

    Thanks everyone. I have some Goo Gone around the house, and I went ahead and got some of the 3M adhesive remover. 3M is defiantly proud of that stuff. I paid $20 for a metal container of it from Napa. I going to get a quick wash done on the car and try to get the dealer badge off. It's supposed...

    Oh they definitely know not to put a plate on the car, lol. I told them and wrote it on the paperwork that I signed in all caps "Do not install front license place bracket". In TN we don't have front license plate, but some dealers like to install the brackets and put plates on for free dealer...

    Safest way to remove dealer advertising emblems?

    My new car was transferred from another dealer that already applied their dealer advertising to the trunk. It's a plastic badge with double sided adhesive tape. I want to take this off, since it looks tacky and I'm not getting paid to advertise a dealer. What is the best way to remove this badge...

    I drove by the dealer, and my car was dropped off tonight. Woo hoo! I looked it over, and it doesn't look like it has seen an automatic wash. It may have been washed at one time, since the other dealer where it came from had an additional cost for exterior and interior protection. The tag said...

    I am hoping that it hasn't been touched at all. I'm just worried that some amateur detailer hit the cars with a rotary. If I see any signs of that, I'm rejecting the car. OMG, now that is going to be playing in my mind before I pick the car up tomorrow. That is hack detailing at its finest

    New vehicle delivery questions

    I called and told the salesman no washing or detailing the car. He seemed really surprised that I didn't want the car washed. I didn't want to come off as rude and say that your automatic carwash and dealer goons will just scratch up my brand new car in attempt to clean it. I also mentioned no...

    New vehicle delivery questions

    If I call and tell the salesman, I'm sure he will think I'm crazy for saying don't touch the car, but oh well. He may not be the one who has control over what happens on deliverer either. I don't know the VIN number of the car yet, since the dealer is locating one with the same colors and...

    New Charger HELLCAT!

    Now that would be a nice ride.:props: I'm not a fan at all of the new Charger. It looks too much like the Dart.

    Let's talk window tint

    I called a shop today that does Llumar tint to get a price. The guy said that the tint is not dyed, I believe he said that it was ceramic like (I've never heard of that before). He said that this kind of tint doesn't come in 20%, but in actuality it's 18%. I'm going to have to see what it looks...

    Hello everyone. I've got a new Nissan Maxima that is in route being transferred from another dealer to the one I'm purchasing from. I'm sure the car has received a dealer wash once or twice already since it's been on a dealer lot, not fresh off the truck. When I made the deal on the car, I...

    To wrap or not the wrap?

    Yeah, I set myself up for that one.:laughing: I have seen many cars with CBs that end up hazing and turning yellow also. I don't know if I would rather have that or deal with the chips as they occur. If I get one, I'll see if I can do precut because I'm not letting anyone near the car with a...

    To wrap or not the wrap?

    Hey everyone, I'm taking delivery of a new Nissan Maxima in pearl white in the next few days. It's going to be my daily driver, not a garage queen or a car that I'm am going to be a perfectionist with. I'd like to keep it looking nice the best I can though. I've never owned a Nissan vehicle...
