I recent bought a 2010 Dodge Challenger with 1500 miles. Car was always garaged. Looking to do a 1 step detail as the cars shape is very good with little swirling and minor rids. The products I have are lc pads black, blue, green, white, orange, surbuf pads. Polish megs 105, 205, and p203s menzerna. Any suggestions on how to approach it?

Thanks

What Matt has said, I have done two back to back and both turned out fantastic with the Menz/white pad combo.

On the harder side, in my experience.

Challengers have pretty hard paint - I have a 2009. With 1500 miles it should just need a light polish and LSP. I wouldn't use Menz 2500 out of the gate personally, I'd probably start with 4000 if staying Menz. Or Meguiars UP but with what you have test spot with your 205 first.

As an aside it's amazing how many low mileage Challengers are hitting the streets these days. I think they were bought, and sat until the payments ended and folks realized they weren't going to be the collectors items they thought.

It's black in color. Paint is phenomenal just needs a little love. Gonna test 205 and 203 in test spots and will follow up. But no problem being a one step lsp ready right

I love the Challengers,
they look the best of the 3 Retro looking pony cars. I am a Ford guy and I own a Mustang but I went out and got me a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack. :xyxthumbs:

Not at all. And @ 1500 miles garage kept I'd want to hope it's not in need of any real correction at all.

The 203 and white pad combo was absolutely on point. Absolute perfection. Amazing

I used HD Speed on my black 8yr old Malibu. Came out awesome.
