14 Hour Complete Exterior Detail!

[ts2011]

Glad to see your post,

I have a 3 month old 2011 Super Black LE and noticed swirls from day 1. I was so bothered by them I began my internet research with gusto to learn all I could about paint repair and detailing. I take anything the dealer says with a grain of salt , but could not believe these swirls to be acceptable, but apparently it is very common. I found the forums you mention and others and have learned a lot the past couple weeks, that led me to order a Meguiar's DA polisher. Waiting for it to arrive next week with hopes to improve, ,

Surfing last night came across your post , great job ! your experience encourages me that I am heading in the right direction . Awesome , and thanks for posting your work and pictures, that is just what I needed to see right now.
I am very happy with my new Murano, but I can't wait to bring the paint finish up to "better than show room" condition

great job!!

you should try the new Meguiar's DA microfiber system... it'll cut the polishing time in half...

I used that on couple cars already and its just as easy to use as the foam pads but much more efficient and effective...

That's good to know, I ordered an assortment of foam pads thinking that I will have to get an idea of what works best. It appears that starting with a yellow pad then finish with a black pad is often recommended. I look forward to getting used to my new toy. After ordering , I noticed the microfiber system you mentioned. I will order a few of those pads next time around.
I am going to be a little hesitant on my new Murano, but I plan to test out the polisher and learn what to expect from the different pads on my wifes 06 Altima first , it needs much more correction and I don't think I could hurt it's finish.
