  • 1998 Nissan 240SX

    Did a full detail on my 240SX this week. It had some nasty water-spots on one side from a sprinkler that sprayed my parking space where I used to live, but now that I'm out of there it was time to clean things up.

    After a wash and clay, I proceeded with #80 Speed Glaze by PC on a polishing pad. It cleaned things up real nice. Here's a before and after:


    The #80 left such a great finish I went right to NXT 2.0 next. Applied by PC finishing pad, it was the first time I'd used NXT and I found it shockingly easy to apply & remove. It looked great, but the next day I decided to throw a layer of #26 paste wax on top. I'm very happy with the results, here's some pics..



    Metallics popping, the color is Nissan's Cobalt Green Pearl:


    Reflections of reflections - spoiler, trunk, and rear window:


    From the back:


    Reflection on the roof, sorry it's not a Meg's product, it was all I had with me. I had to almost center it on the roof because the surface was so slick.


    And a golden-hour shot taken just after sunset:


    Any tips, suggestions, comments appreciated!

    Awesome job! The paint looks really reflective and the spoiler shot shows some nice wetness as well.

        Great job there...
        It is better to use a MF towel to put the bottles on before you scratch your paint : )

          Thanks all!

          Forgot to mention, washed with Gold Class wash, interior done with Natural Shine, #28 All Metal Polish on the exhaust, coat of NTX 2.0 on the rims, Endurance Gel on the tires, and a quick wipedown with Final Inspection before the pics were taken.

                          I noticed you're in Kelowna. I'm located in the Lower Mainland and I'm curious where you purchase your Meg's products. I've been purchasing my stuff from Crappy Tire which carries a decent number of the consumer line products but noticed you're using products I haven't been able to source locally.

                          Your car looks fantastic BTW.

                              Thanks everyone!

                              @Sven: I've listed all the Meg's products I used on my car in my previous posts in this thread. I've used lots more in the past though, too many to list!

                              I get the professional line stuff from Lordco. They don't always have it on the shelf, but if you give them an item number (eg. M-8032 for Speed Glaze) they'll go though their catalog and order it in for you.
