I've been waiting to get a chance to detail this car. I used to own this car and sold it to my dad over a year ago. Since then it has had no polishing/waxing and barely any washing. I figured it was going to need some serious attention and I was right.
Prepped the car by going over the entire surface with Tropicare Swirl Cutter. I skipped claying because I thought the paint was too far gone to bother with clay. In hindsight I probably should have done both but the Swirl Cutter seemed to do a good job prepping the surface.
Followed up with the Tropi-Care polish. used the Tropi-Care Tire Dressing on the tires and hard plastic trim and the Big Orange for getting all the tar/grease off the lower portions of the doors, quarter panels, etc. Finished up with Zaino Glass Polish on all the windows and windshield.

) on them. My Wife really liked the look which can only be described as a "matte/gloss", or "bright, but not shiny". I will say that the look is different from anything else I've used. I will say that I've had it on for going on 4 weeks and in spite of the rains and washes, the tires still look good.
What type of longevity do you get out of your treatments? I'm pretty impressed how these tires look with all the rain we've had recently, plus my washes.
