Regular waxing protects painted surfaces and keeps the vehicle looking new. Before applying wax again, it is recommended to polish the surfaces to remove any residual wax buildup and to give the body a glossy appearance.

A NISSAN dealer can help you choose the appropriate product.

  • Wax your vehicle only after washing it thoroughly. Follow the directions provided on the wax container.
  • Do not use wax containing abrasive substances or compounds, or cleaning agents that may damage the vehicle's finish.

Machine polishing or prolonged polishing on a clear coat finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
