SignUp Now!When I first got my GN, the paint was dull and looked like crap.
I started with using a clay bar over the entire vehicle. Next, I used a medium cut compound from 3M, white compound w/white pad. Then I used Maalco Nanocare cream polish w/a gray pad to bring the black back to a luster. Final stage in paint work was pink swirl remover applied by hand. Put on a fine coat of Meguairs Tech Wax 2.0 and its ready to rock.
I drove it all summer and the car looked great for the condition the paint is in. I recently washed it last week, and used a light coat of Meguiars Cleaner wax to get any light contaminants off the surface.
For defect removal you can't beat Meguiars 105/205 and a rotary.
After all defects are removed, I like to use Megs #7 Show car glaze topped with Megs #26 Yellow Carnauba wax.
It really all depends on what kind of paint you have, single stage, clear-coat, etc.
My car has an older, mediocre repaint in base/clear. It had been neglected, there were/still are some fine scratches in the paint but I was able to lift most of them... and then a semi blew a retread all over the front end
Now it looks good from 6 inches away.
Yea, thats pretty much what mine has, mediocre bc/cc done about 6 years ago. Looks ok i guess, definitely want to get it redone though at some point.
Sucks about the tire...really hope that never happens in front of me.
Yea, thats what Im a little worried about. Afraid Ill go through all the trouble and spend all the money then not drive the thing because I dont want to get a little dust on it.
