Been a while since I tackled anything this bad. My friends 03 Durango. Gross car. Did my best but I have learned a lot since doing this car last week by watching Mike's YouTube videos. I might have another go at it again soon.

Just washed, clayed, used Meguiars Mirror #20 and then finished off with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran wax. I used my PC7424 but probably with not with as good results I should have. Just need to order a few more things like a good swirl remover and a product to clean my pads.

Overall the owner was happy and I thought it came out ok for being a quick job done outside.(I have no garage.)





























 
Looks good. Wheels could use a little more TLC. Sonax wheel cleaner and the trim could use some restoration. 303 Aerospace for the trim should improve it. Paint looks really good for the car and the use its seen!

Yea I was pressed for time. I would have clayed the wheels as well.

I tried the Back to Black by Mothers I think it was and it didn't do anything to it.
 
Great job! It looks tons better than before!

For the trim, I would recommend Carpro PERL. I've had really great results with it, you can use it on pretty much all the plastic/rubber trim (including tires), and it lasts a long time. It's become my go-to product since the first time I've used it.

Thanks, I'll give them both a shot.

Yea, with more knowledge, practice, and the right compounds(pads/product), I'm sure I could have gotten it much better.
