Oh...you guys' been talking?

That um.. midget mud wrestling thing is..ur...totally not true.

I know some of the "non-abrasive" cleaners actually have some level of cut, albeit minuscule. Is this leaving the OEM texture/finish intact (i.e. truly just cleaning) or is this abraiding the plastic ever so slightly (thereby imparting some shine)?

Here's how it looks right now.. Notice there's a couple of spots that have heavy oxidation which need a little bit more, but they're definitely on their way out.



It looks and feels like the original OEM texture/finish. At least I believe this is what it was like when new [we bought it used]

Here's a closer look.

Awesome!

I have a bottle that I have used to try and prep paint with and on certain soft paints I get some marring which is odd since it doesn't contain abrasives. Even with a black finishing pad I got some marring on my GTO paint.

Will definitely keep it around to try out this trick! Thanks!

I have not used DP/Mckee's prep polish but I love knowing about polishes/chemical cleaners that are safe on textured trim. I polish nearly all neglected trim (even textured) with poli-seal/GPS and as long as I use low speeds and don't induce too much heat I am confident it won't effect the texture of the plastic. It's good to know prep polish works similarly.

I finished cleaning them today. I tried using my DA polisher w/3" microfiber pad, then switched to a gray LC Thinpro, but both failed to gain positive results as they just loaded up too fast.. Working by hand with terry applicators gained much better results.

This is how they looked before. I would always have to resort to covering up this oxidation with product.

Passengers side, after only using the Mckee's Prep Polish + a final wipedown w/Mckee's N-914 and allowed to dry.





It's supposed to rain later tonight, so I'll hold off on applying Megs D4510 until tomorrow.

Agreed. That is quite an impressive off-label result.

Nicely done, my friend.


BTW, this is the Taco body style/gen I'm looking to pick up. Good chance I will be using this tip. Nice coincident.
