Heavily Scratched Plymouth Prowler

Well, I just typed up this thread for the last 20 minuted and deleted it all by accident :wall , so I will make this much shorter.

As you can see, it was heavily scratched. The car has been sitting in a garage for the last 5years collecting dust with all kinds of junk piled on top of it. It was being sold and a potential customer was coming to look at the car the following day, so I was pressed for time on this one.

I tried a couple different products before I decided what combo to use.

My final process was:

Clayed exterior with green Kar Kraft clay bar using Z6 for lube

Z6 wipedown

Buffed complete exterior with 3M Extra Cut compound using a purple foamed wool pad

Buffed top surfaces with SIP using a yellow foam light cutting pad

Buffed complete exterior with Ultrafina using a blue ultrafina pad

Zaino AIO by hand on the plastic bumpers

Danase Wet Glaze by hand (awesome stuff!!)

Meguiars 26 by hand (old school!)

Super Blue dressing on tires and wheel wells

Aquawax on wheels

Complete interior detail

Pirex - Thanks, I didn't know you could do that.

Lance - Thanks!

Excelelnt save on that paint. Those first couple pictures the paint looks totally dead and lifeless.

beautiful work.

 

Nice work looks great. You let that gorgeous car sit in the garage for 5 years?

 

WOW great turnaround! I can't believe someone had that in their garage with stuff piled on it! :thud: Paint look great, nice flakes! From the inside pics I would have never guessed it was purple :thumb:

 

I detailed this car for a dealership I do cars for. The previous owner of the car died, so the wife kept it in her garage for the past 5 years and decided to put it up for sale. The dealer purchased it for resale and said when he went to look at the car in the garage, there was stuff piled up on it. The car only has 7K miles on it.

The dealer told me that the person who came to look at the car the day after it was detailed ended up buying it.

 

Rick, OK that explains a lot.

 

Awesome save by Rick! how was polishing the fenders like? I might get a hold of one this summer that's 1999 in red to do. It's truly a big save you did Rick!...........:applause:

Awesome turn around...I can not believe that has a car like that get that bad...You saved her...LOL...

 

Sweet job Rick, Love those Prowlers gr8 save job on the paint.

Thanks everyone!

It's amazing how trashed a car with only 7K miles on it can get if you don't take care of it.
