Hammered 2008 Nissan Xterra - Paint Correction & Coating with Premium Interior

KMG

Certified Finest Installer
The owner of this vehicle just purchased a brand new F-150 and this Xterra is going to his wife. They were going away for a few days and he asked me to get this back into shape as a surprise while they were away. This thing has had a rough life and was not maintained very well. This is an absolutely gorgeous color once it was finished.

Wash Process

the vehicle was treated with Iron-x while I was cleaning the wheels and tires, and then hit with a strong foam pre-soak before the 2BM wash.

this beautiful color was being totally hidden by the heavy swirling and buffer tails all over the entire exterior.

this is a good picture showing just how much of a difference the process made. the paint looks a totally different color.

Thanks for looking!
 
Awesome turn around.

That interior was nasty.

I am willing to guess they will be ecstatic when they see it.
 
Wow looks exactly like the one I did last month, beat up and disgusting interior. How did you like the self healing paint?
