Yes you read it right. M105 cleaned these very dirty and damaged stripes.
These stripes have bothered my customer since he got this car.
Months ago I used vinyl cleaner and D156 for some protection. That didn't work.
So this detail he showed me a video from Adams and they used paint products on them and they came out the way my customer wanted.
I called Meg's just to get there position on it they said don't touch them, there Matt and there's nothing we recommend for them. Well that's not good enough for me.
So it was up to me to figure out how to clean these up and protect them from more damage.
I tried a few waxes and nothing really happened so on to some compound 205 didn't do much so I grabbed my trusted M105 on a yellow pad and my DA and it cleaned them up spectacularly. I showed my customer the process and he approved.
After 105, PlastX was apply and removed alot of dirt embedded into the stripes. Then, with the customer approval I applied Tire and Trim Gel.
Yes they are shinny and not really Matt. But over time and a few washed the T&TG will be removed and the Matt Finish will return.
Now these are cleaned and protected.
After the first few passes with 105
What my pad looked like
After 105 it still needed some more love. So I tryed PlastiX and I was shocked at the amount of dirt that PlastX picked up
The test spot with PlastX
After 105, PlastX & T&TG on both stipes
Tell me that doesn't look better! Clean and protected!
Rear stripes
Some general pics of the car
