Maxima: Bi-annual wash, 56k curl up and die

Wheelhop · 09-13-07, 01:41 AM

Before:

After:

Paint job condition leaves a bit to be desired, like that key mark?

And more light output, as if that hasn't been driven into the ground

Awesome license plate.

Please wash your car more often.

bandoni™ · 09-13-07, 11:09 AM

you think thats bad, I had to wash my integra yesterday. It's been sitting for about 5 months just getting dirty. after a few sand storms it looked like an Egyptian tomb. It took me two separate washings and theres still dust trapped in the seals on the windows

. It's black like your maxima, so dirt shows up 10 times better. don't you hate black cars, sure they look great but every flaw is just obvious.

antik · 09-13-07, 08:13 PM

my legend hasn't been washed for months... it's killing me
my bmw is gross too...

but i'm travelling all weekend so i won't get a chance to clean either. ugh. i hate dirty cars

Ken · 09-14-07, 01:53 AM

lol... dirt adds character

guyad · 09-14-07, 02:31 AM

Damn..I'd cry if my baby ever looked like that.

bboarder711 · 09-14-07, 09:41 AM

KEVINJ · 09-14-07, 09:49 AM

WASH MINE ONCE MAYBE 2X A WEEK

truonghthe · 09-14-07, 04:39 PM

well I will shoot my self if my car look like that.

astigracing · 09-14-07, 07:25 PM

looks like the rear tires had seen their days...

**502 MotorSports** · 09-15-07, 09:16 AM

wow. LOL @ the Pat comment.

Umm, I must sat wow. I would cringe if my car got half as dirty as that....but I hear you, it is your car that you could care less about, huh?

Nice tags - do you have FI on this car?
Projectors/beam pattern look great too!

Wheelhop · 09-18-07, 03:03 AM

Haha, friends and relatives mostly wrote on it. I do care about the car, but I have a porter cable 7424 just waiting for pads and polish, then one free weekend I'm going to town, and you'll never know any of that happened.

Also, I live close to the beach, so residual sand and some off-road conditions contribute to the zomgdirty.

The rear tires are cording pretty bad, I need to burn off the rest of the meat on the fronts before I mount the ZE-912s I have sitting in the garage.

Oh yeah, glad you like the license plate. "WHEELHOP" wouldn't fit so "AXLE HOP" was a good substitute.

Sorry for the late reply guys, and thanks for the comments.

Water spots on top of water spots on top of dirt on top of water spots. Not good.

sprix! · 01-24-08, 08:17 AM

Looks better. I would say add tire shine, but that would probably annoy the technician who will hopefully be changing out those rear tires soon. That doesn't look very safe... no traction on the rear is no good.

mktng · 01-24-08, 10:58 AM

i like your amazingly worn out tires on the back...
