Clean looking ride! I love the slight alteration that Nissan made to the sport package rims for the 13 and on. I wish I had those on my 2012.

I've been using CG products more and more. I've thought about picking up some Jet Seal 109 but I've never talked to anyone who's used it. How do you like it? Is it WOWO? How's the shine and protection? I've been using NuFinish that I picked up at the auto parts store but I'd like to upgrade to a professional product. Your thoughts? By the way... car looks amazing! Great job and thanks for sharing.

jet seal is a great product. simple as WO with a microfiber applicator sponge and WO with micro fiber towel. Shine is great but I use it mainly for the protection its supposed to offer. i use it post polish and before wax... almost like a protective glaze. i had a pro detailer come out and give my 09 the full treatment when it was new. He used it then and recommended it for a layer of paint protection.

Can't go wrong. The paint on my 09 was damn near perfect other than nicks and chips on front bumper and hood.

thanks for the compliments...

Cheers!
