2012 Pearl White Dodge Journey

This is our second go around with the Journey, we bought it two weeks ago and had a engine failure with 204 miles on the odometer. Crankshaft had casting issues, Chrysler replaced the engine for us. Now that we got it back I gave it a nice cleaning. Amazingly the car was swirl free and only had a few minor areas that I corrected by hand as well hand application of the Klasse. Just felt good to do an old school hand app, lol.

2 buckets and grit guards
CG Maxi Suds II
CG Diablo wheel cleaner
Various wheel brushes
Klasse AIO
Griot's 3" Orange Pads
Optimum Opti-seal
LC CCS Wax/Sealant Applicator Pads
Durogloss Aquawax
Griot's Undercarriage Spray
Griot's Glass Sealant
Various microfiber towel
Blackfire Total Eclipse Tire Gel

Looks good Derek! Sorry to hear about the engine failure. But nice to hear Chrysler stepped up and replaced it.

Nice job doing it by hand! The pearl on your car pops - I like it.

Re: 2012 Pearl White Dodge Journey

Pearl white is a great color, cool in the summer and doesn't show every single mark like the darker colors do. It did come out nice and there's nothing like a shinny new car to bring a smile to your face!

Thanks everyone!

Chrysler was very good about it and super apologetic, they gave us a Caravan to use while the Journey was in the shop. We also got four free oil changes and tickets with a parking pass to a Detroit Tigers baseball game from the dealer. I tried to convince the Chrysler rep to send some SRT engineers to tweak the power of the new motor but I just got a laugh.....
