The first car to be polished this year (excluding my own) was this silver Chrysler 300C 5.7l HEMI wagon.
It took 12h overall.
I started yesterday by washing and claying it and continued today. The surface was pretty good; usual swirls but not very many deep scratches.
I also removed the dealer sticker from the rear lid.
The process:
1) Pre-wash
- Turtle Wax super detergent wash
- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam
2) Wash
- Turtle Wax Big Orange
- Two bucket method + sheepskin mitt
3) Claying
- Zaino Z-18
- Turtle Wax Big Orange + water as lubricant
4) Polishing
It was a two stage polish;
- Menzerna PO S100 + Lake Country CCS yellow cutting pad
- Menzerna PO 106FA + Lake Country CCS green polishing pad
Headlights;
- Menzerna PO 85RD 3.02 + Lake Country orange light cutting pad
Polisher;
- Flex XC 3401 VRG
5) Sealants
- Carlack68 NSC (Nano system care)
- Finish Kare 1000P
6) Others
Tyres;
- Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance Tyre Gel
Chrome parts:
- Turtle Wax Silver Chrome
Windows:
- AutoGlym Fast Glass

Washing + claying:
I started with the detergent spray;

And continued with the foam. ½ Autofoam & ½ water;

Preparing:
Measuring the paint thickness;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC06973.jpg)
Everything seemed to be normal, except the right front door, which was repainted, and he right rear door, which was heavily polished. Here's the repainted door;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC06975.jpg)
Warming up;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC06940.jpg)
That was surprisingly easy;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC06943.jpg)
Removing the glue residues with AutoGlym Intensive Tar Remover;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC06947.jpg)
And then wiping off the AG ITR with 50% IPA;

Polishing:
This combo seemed to finish quite well...
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07053.jpg)
...but I wanted to do it right and continued with this;

Fifty fifty;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07028.jpg)
A little scuff on the left rear fender;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07032.jpg)
Gone;

A same type scuff on the left rear door;

A little, but deep scratch in the right front fender;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07107.jpg)
Gone again!
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07114.jpg)
This was maybe the baddest scratch in the whole car;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07115.jpg)
Gone as well!
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07123.jpg)
For headlights I used PO 85RD 3.02 + orange LC CCS pad;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC06979.jpg)
½ + ½;
![](https://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/Anzafin/Chrysler%20300C%20HEMI/DSC07151.jpg)
For the first time I used Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance Tyre Gel. The wheels were in bad condition and I didn't even try to do anything to them;
