Car Detailing for Nissan Juke

Detailing your Nissan Juke

Nobody bought a Juke by accident, and the owners who still have one love its odd shape, which puts the rear door handles up in the pillar and the headlights on top of the fenders where bugs splatter them. The painted centre console scratches if cleaned with anything rough, so it gets microfibre only. Cargo space is tiny, which means the back seat does the hauling and usually needs extraction. A polish and sealant make the curves pop again.

What we watch for on a Juke

• The painted motorcycle-tank centre console scratches and scuffs and is cleaned with microfibre only
• Rear door handles hidden in the C-pillar collect grime that most washes never touch
• The bulging round headlights and the high-mounted turn-signal lamps catch bug residue
• NISMO suede-like seat inserts are dry-brushed and spot-cleaned, not soaked
• The tiny cargo area means gear piles up on the rear seats, which usually need extraction

Compact SUVs: cargo areas that do everything

Compact crossovers are family cars, gear haulers and dog taxis in one. The cargo floor, the rear seatbacks and the door sills collect the most dirt, while taller bodies catch more road spray along the sides.
