Hello friends of autopia. Luckily, this Chrysler Sebring was washed before I arrived. After clay barring the entire vehicle, the majority of the paint recieved Menzerna Super Intensive polish applied with a low-profile orange-cut pad and an Ultimate Detailing machine. It was followed with Optimum Poliseal via Porter Cable 7424 and a blue edge 2000 foam pad, then sealed with Duragloss aquawax. 8.5 hours later, here are some before/after pictures:

On this area, behind the passenger's door, an area was "wetsanded and buffed for two days by a 'trained' expert." Here are there results:
After I properly finished the area, which called for two 1700rpm rotary passes of High Temp Extreme Cut with an Edge black wool pad, followed by Menzerna Super Intensive Polish via rotary and green edge wool pad, then Ultimate Detailing machine with orange pad and Super Intensive polish, then the rotary, Menzerna 106FF, and a blue edge foam pad, and then finally a blue foam edge pad and the Porter Cable 7424 with Optimum Poliseal, here are the results:
Same area, different angles...sorry for the lack of light in the after. Please keep note of the convertible top. This was my friend's car, and I allowed him to buff the black trim with a PC. As you can see, he had a little "off" moment on the convertable portion:

And finally, the oxidized trunk, which was attacked with about 3 passes with the rotary at 1700 rpm with a black edge wool pad and High Temp Extreme cut, followed by the Ultimate Detailing Machine and a low-cut, orange pad and Menzerna Super Intensive polish, then Duragloss Aquawax.

, but I can assure a huge turnaround. Also, the car was resprayed on every panel on different days except for the trunk and passenger doors (hence the oxidation and the faded colors in these areas). Enjoy!
