I was recently directed to this to care for my new G and followed most of the guidelines when washing it today and it turned out pretty good. The paint is in good condition, it just needs a good once over by a professional to tighten it up a bit from improper washes in the past.

What are your thoughts on the techniques here, anything you like/don't like or would add?

Attached 2 pictures(wifes car in the background), also any suggestions on the best way to remove that carmax sticker on the trunk?

 

I use the video as a template too. I just added another water bucket to the tire bucket so I don't apply old brake dust to the rims again. makes sense right? I usually follow up with a spray wax to have the water beading effect and smooth feel. As for the carmax thing I would assume it's like debadging.. I may be wrong, hopefully someone else will chime in with the correct information. Happy Detailing!

 

After you clean the car, try peeling it off. If you're having trouble, if you have a clay bar , runing the clay bar over the area with clay lube will help lift the sticker some. If you peel it off and there's some sticker residue, apply some goo gone and wipe the area after and you're good to go.

 

When I bought ,y maxima from carmax I said before I take this car off the lot you take that foolish sticker off! Hey obliged.

 

try using some heat as from a hair dryer to take it off i used a low heat gun to take the embels from the trunk

 

great video. thanks for the share! i need to change from a sponge and use the mitt and foam technique.

 

Pretty good video, although I try to do less drying by sheeting the water on the final rinse.

 

Looks like good techniques.
