Rear convertible screen ( I wasn't able to make a improvement, it was all scratched up and oxidized, maybe 1Z deep plastice cleaner will help?? DG glass polish didn't do a thing. OPT PC didn't help either)

Very nice! I love how clean and organized your photos were. I am curious what the calipers looked like after though. Do you have an after picture of them?
Now that she is clean and sealed I'm sure she feels a lot better about herself.

sorry cee dog, I have no afters of the caliper. It needs a respray and I clean it the best I could with e-z brush and detail brush.

the owner is very happy and will spread some words for me :)

Try using some Optimum Power Clean.

"To clean wheels and tires, Optimum Power Clean™ can be used at full strength or diluted up to 3:1. Agitate as needed and rinse off. For use on painted surfaces, dilute at 3:1 for best results."

Information from the Optimum Car Care website. I use it on my vehicle and clients vehicles as well.
