Car Detailing for Nissan Murano

Detailing your Nissan Murano

Muranos are usually bought for comfort, and the diamond-quilted leather on the Platinum is the kind of thing owners want protected rather than just wiped down. We work a pH-balanced cleaner into the stitching with a soft brush and condition it afterwards. The gloss-black pillars that give the Murano its floating roof scratch exactly like paint and get polished with the body. The big wheels need a barrel brush, and the panoramic roof is sealed with the rest of the car.

What we watch for on a Murano

• The quilted semi-aniline leather on Platinum trims holds grime in the stitching and needs a soft brush with the cleaner
• The floating-roof pillars are gloss black and show swirls and scratches like paint
• 20-inch wheels collect heavy brake dust and have tight spokes that need a barrel brush
• The panoramic roof water-spots in humid weather and is cleaned and sealed with the paint
• CrossCabriolet versions have a fabric top that needs a convertible-top cleaner and protectant rather than wax

Midsize SUVs: three rows of places to hide crumbs

With a third row, a big cargo area and plenty of child-seat anchors, midsize SUVs hide a lot of mess. We work through each row and each seat track so nothing is left behind.
