2 day job, Went to a local supplier for dealership detail shops here around Carlisle PA. (Caffrey auto supply) and bought some of their compounds. Got a super aggressive liquid rubbing compound which was pretty tough working with because of all the compound dirt flying off of the cyclo pads. then I hit it with their finessing compound which was a joy to work with. Black plastic was real bad, Here's where I had to get creative. I rubbed it down with WD-40 then wally world bug and tar remover then rain-x then Buffed it out with mf towel. The plastic looks brand new, I just hope it lasts through a few rains. Meguires clear coat gold class by hand. Megs Plast-x on lights. Never dull to get the rusty brake dust off of the wheels. Tires with armour all xtreme gel. Engine compartment got a good old fashioned scrubbing with some purple ap stuff.This was a very challenging job and I am glad it's done! Next Saturday I have a Camry that is chalky white, Very few scratches but I mean like absolutely not one inch if shine anywhere. Like a peice of chalk with tiny specks of rust, I.F.O. I guess. Any suggestions on how to handle the camry?
 
It does look better, whoever owns that car must have metal fingernails...that door handle looked beat. That would be a good place for a piece of that clear adhesive that is used on the front of cars.
