Got a very nicely maintained 1996 Chrysler Sebring convertible in the shop last week. We went for a single step correction, with the desire of 90% correction, since the car was over 14 years old and had definitely been polished before (based on the amount of harder-than-titanium polish residue stuck in all the cracks and crevices). I'm awaiting my PTG, which would REALLY have come in handy with this correction.
Anyways, process:
- Complete wash with mild degreaser additive to strip off any old wax or anything
- Clay'd with Riccardo blue clay while still wet from the wash
- Dried with microfibers, and then all cracks, seems and crevices were blown out with compresssed air
- Polished with Menzerna Intensive Polish using a Lake Country yellow CCS pad on a PC7424
- Additional Meg's Scratch-X applied to super deep scratch on passenger side
- Waxed with Meg's Gold Class liquid wax
- Exhaust tips cleaned up with Nevr-Dull
- Vinyl top protected with Raggtop's Vinyl Convertible Top Protectant
And for the pics:
