    Thanks! What is the scrubber that you're referring to? I liked the mothers power ball tool, but it was only useful around the bottom of the exhaust tips because the tips sit high and tight to the underside of the rear end, so I was doing that top part by hand anyway.

Guess Chrysler Corp decided to drop the wagon. Rumor has it that either the Charger or 300 will be gone from the line-up as well. Most are betting the 300 due to dismal sales.


    The Magnum has an aggressive look to it, I'm sure it would have sold okay down here too to be fair. The 300c we got new in a few different variants. Wagons or sedans both the V6 & V8, then the SRT8 & we got the diesel down this way also.

    This is a picture of the 300c SRT8 I was working on.




    I like the styling of this shape rather than the later ones. This is a super clean, one owner, only 31000km's on the clock car, & if it were to come up for sale, I'd have to be practicing my arm twisting skills on my Wife.

    Customers reaction when he picked the car up: "This is looks better than when I bought it brand new in 2008!!!" - as picky as we were, we won the customer over.

    Onto the details;

    Wheels & Tires - GG HD Wheel Cleaner, wheel woolies and Pinnacle APC 4:1 and Mothers Brushes
    Engine - Wolfgang Total Engine Cleaner, BLACKFIRE AIO Trim & Tire

    Exterior:
    McKee's Extreme Iron Remover
    Megs Hyper Wash / Chenille Wash Mitts / 2BM and AGO Foam Cannon
    Nano Skin Clay Mitt - Megs D114 clay lube

    Test spot 1: HD Speed ---> didn't put a dent in the swirls and scratches!
    Test Spot 2: BOSS Fast Correcting Cream ---> Dispatched the swirls and scratches but left light marring, which cleaned up with SPEED
    Paint Correction: Fast Correcting Cream, Rupes LRH MKII-15, Rupes Green Pads
    Polish: HD Speed, Rupes LRH MKII-15 and BOSS Orange Pads
    LSP: Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, Rupes LRH MKII-15 and White RUPES pads
    Glass: Pinnacle Crystal Vision Glass Cleaner w/ repellent

    I was going to use the liquid and use the crystal mist to help with the static promblems with the liquid but my choice was paste .

    I've got a 2006 300C SRT8 with the brilliant black paint. I also like the Gen 1 shape better than the Gen 2 round shape.

    I'll be trying to "fix" the curb rash on the underside of the front lip in the Spring. It'll be my 1st time wet sanding and then will coat with Duplicolor's Perfect Match paint and then clear it. I figure it being on the underside that it will work out well...
