Brand new?! Murano

[EVOlved]

As I am only a hobbyist this is a family members vehicle, the MIL's 2014 Nissan Murano in black. Since it is her vehicle I know for certain it hasn't even been washed in the 4 months since she has owned it. This is also the first ever black automobile I have polished and is honestly only the third car I have ever polished. So I'll tell you about the process and products used and show you the few pictures I took.

Don't blame me to much for not using CarPro products in this it was done before I got turned on to them there will be plenty to come that will contain them :cool: .

Interior:
Vacuumed interior with handheld Dyson and scrubbed with brush
Used Bissell Spotclean on front two mats with just warm water
Wipe down interior mainly with 1z Einszett Cockpit premium
1z Lederpledge on seats

Wash and decon:
Wheels cleaned up with Sonax FE
Wells, tires and exhaust tips cleaned up with Adam's APC
Foamed with a mix of CG Honeydew Snow Foam (just had some left in the cannon) and Adam's APC
Washed with CG Citruswash Red and Uber wool mitt
Iron X on a few high traffic areas not much action so I held back on doing more
Nanoskin mitt with ONR as lube

Polish and LSP:
Polished with GG 6" with uber green pads and Sonax PF
Foamed with Citruswash Red then Menzerna TI wipe down
Applied Sonax PNS with red uber hex grip applicator
Applied Adam's SVRT to the tires

Okay enough with the babble here are the few pics I took I apologize as previously stated I just got into this not too long ago and know nothing of photography and haven't even used a camera in probably ten years lol.

After the wash and decon pretty much all of the paint looked like this:
