The next stage of this detail was to rehab the Exhaust Tips, decontaminate trim, and then properly dress it. The Tips weren't the worst I've seen but they were pretty gross.
Products Used for Exhaust Tip Rehab:
My process was to take the .0000 Steel Wool and
Adam's Metal Polish #1, rub out the inner 2" of the tips. I clayed the outside of the tips with
Adam's Detailing Claybar and
Adam's New Detail Spray.....YUCK!
Then take the
Adam's Blue Hex Grip Applicator and more
Adam's Metal Polish #1 and "clean" the tips. After that,
Adam's Metal Polish #2 on an
Adam's Microfiber Applicator Pad to "shine" the tips. Then knock it all down with an
Adam's Double Soft Towel and be happy with the results I just got!
There were some really horrible spots on the trim pieces of this car...what with all the wax and polish residue, and contamination along the door pillars...which *were* the body color stock, but were painted at some point I think. You'll see what I mean...
