My Nightmare!!

Hey everyone I need some advice or "guidance" I'm working on a friends 2ooo Chrysler Cirrus, Champaign metal flake, and it's a nightmare! I think it might compete with FloridaNatives' "Bug" at least the interior anyway. On to the problem, I'm through with the interior, but I'm having problems with the body. It has a real hard plastic mirror casing, it's black, seems to be painted and very oxidized or scuffed up. Does anyone have any experience with this type of finish. I'm apprehensive about buffing it. Anything OTC I could use? I've washed it twice with little effect (Sorry no pics of body yet ). Here's some before and after of the interior..... These were after taking TWO "brown leaf garbage" (32 gal.) bags of trash out of it.

LOL, I just looked at the pics and said out loud "what the hell?". Then I read your post. I agree about doing a nice job on the interior clean up.

What is WRONG with some people? I read the other day about some woman who got in a wreck because some garbage in her car shifted and caused her brake pedal to be stuck.

Great turnaround though, very nice!

I see your nightmare, nice job cleaning it up.

On the mirror, try DG #101. Here's the link of one I did. I would think AIO will work also.

Detailed: 00 Expy with DG.
