My "new" Maxima is a beautiful deep burgundy color, but always looks
horrible because it gathers dust. About 30 seconds after I finish
washing it, car is again dusty. Dist shows up on the burgundy
color much more than on my (defunct) silver Toyota.

Is there any kind of finish or coating or ??? that can deal with this?

Be careful about waxing it,,,my owners manual recommends against that.
If you do, use something approved by Nissan.

and if you can not keep your Burgundy color clean,,,try keeping a
black one like mine clean ,,LOL

What ever happened to that always clean looking stark white ,,LOL..???

I have one of those California Duster things,,it does work well if its
just dust.

92 K when I got it. Haven't added much.

Thanks for follow-up.

Didn't get it fixed yet, but horrible noise has stopped. After I
read your message above, I looked at the antenna, and it is LONGER.
Maybe it extended itself? Tonight, while I was shutting off the
ignition, I made a point of looking back at the antenna. It kinda
shuddered in place, but didn't make groaning noise. So maybe it
decided to stabilize where it is.

I never even knew it WAS retractable till I asked on this NG; never
had one of them puppies before.

Now I have to figure out why I get such lousy mileage. Not that
I believed the figure the sales people gave, but still...!

When all's said & done, however, it is a beautiful and elegant
car, so I hope we go wheel in hand down the years <g>

Go get some wd 40 or other spray oil and give that antenna a nice
lube,,

and what do you think is bad mileage..?

My 2000 gets 18 to 20 in town, and 25 to 28 on the road...pretty much
what the EPA sticker said.

I have a 95 with original antennae.

Silicon spray is what I use to lube the antennae and what I tell everyone
else to use. Regular maintenance throughout the winter is a must.

The biggest problem I have had is that the antennae gets bent in the wind
and so it must be carefully unbent to prevent jamming.
