Nissan clear coat (hard or soft) Any tips?

[mike690001]

Hey guys,

 

I'm going to tackle a BLACK (oh boy!) 2011 Maxima tomorrow. Anyone have experience with the paint on these newer Nissans?

 

I'll be using my Flex and the new polishes.

Not sure just go with the least aggressive pad and product first.......PFP & White foam pad.

Do a 2x2 section to see what it will take before doing the rest of the car.

I have a black Frontier and a client with a black Infiniti, and both will scratch with a hard look.  However polishing them is the same as any other car I have worked on.  Follow Chris's advice and you should be fine.

Thanks for the tips guys!

 

I tackled it today. It took only 1 pass of correcting and 1 pass of finishing  (sweet!), I topped it off with liquid sealant!

 

 

No swirls

^ Cool! Did you try your finishing polish pass with and without Revive to see the difference?

[mike690001]

No, I didn't. I doubt it will make much difference, because revive has no cutting ability. The revive just helps me remove polish residue easier.
