Car Detailing for Nissan Versa

Detailing your Nissan Versa

The Versa is the cheapest new car a lot of GTA drivers could buy, and most of the ones we see have earned their keep as delivery cars, student cars or rentals. The thin cloth and light carpet hold odours, so we usually pair extraction with an enzyme or ozone treatment. The Note hatchback's two-level cargo floor traps grit in its channels. Outside, the hubcaps come off, the rims get cleaned properly, and the thin paint gets a gentle polish and a sealant.

What we watch for on a Versa

• Thin cloth and lightweight carpet absorb food and smoke odours, so enzyme and ozone treatments are often needed
• The Note's two-position cargo floor hides crumbs and salt in its channels
• Plastic hubcaps on steel wheels come off so the salt-crusted rims behind them can be cleaned
• Hard plastic surfaces scratch, so we clean them with soft brushes and mild cleaner
• Thin paint on light colours polishes quickly but should not be compounded hard

Compact cars: small cabins, big wear

Small cabins mean every surface is within reach of a stray coffee or a boot print, and the carpets take it all. Outside, compact cars live a hard life in parking lots and on the 401, so the lower panels collect salt and stone chips.
