Nissan Altima

[E]

hey everybody. did up a nissan altima today. as you can see it was in pretty rough shape when i got it and i think it came out pretty good. the pics don't really do justice to how bad it was and how it really turned out. i realize i wasn't able to get everything out but in the famous words of my friend and mentor allen, "You can only polish a turd so much" :beer:

thanks man! :beer:

here's the basic rundown:
washed with meguiars deep crystal and simple green, two buckets method
clay bar, 3 passes on the hood and once everywhere else
then i started with 1z polish on an orange pad for 2 passes for the hood, 1 pass on the roof and decklid
then 2 passes of menzerna 106 on an orange pad on the hood, 1 pass on the roof and decklid
then two passes of optimum poli-seal on a white pad on the hood, and once everywhere else
then hand waxed with pinnacle sig seris II carnuba

i used a pc 7424, and was wishing i had a flex when handling that hood.....lol
