What's up guys we're glad you could join us back here in the Detail Garage.
As you can see we still have this awesome off road Charger.
In our previous video we washed it to take care of the loose dirt and debris that was
sitting on the surface without scratching it.
Now we've brought it inside and we've already clayed the paint which took care of the water
spots and embedded contamination to revive that smooth feeling.
After further inspection of the paint we can see there are tons of scratches and swirls
that really take away from the overall look of the vehicle.
We're going to polish it but before we start lets dive deeper into the inspection because
a lot of people don't know this but this car is composed of different materials.
This is the original Charger which is made of metal obviously.
Then you come down here where the hood, the side and fender flares are all made of fiberglass.
It reacts different to variations and if you polish too hard with too much of an abrasive
it will take paint off faster.
We're going to be very careful using a light abrasive polish that is safe for gel coat,
paint and fiberglass to give a uniform shine.
We've already started a small test spot on the passenger side of the vehicle Phase 5
Polish with an Orange Pad.
That has given me the correct combination to bring back that deep reflective gloss.
You can see how gray and scratched this one half is while the other is restored to this
dark as night finish.
The reason why this car is so scratched is because this is still a movie car that was
mistreated, abused and it shows.
This car is going back into a collection or museum we're going to take our time to polish
it out and give the whole car this deep black gloss.
So lets get started!
Like I had said we're going to use Phase 5 Polish with a TORQ 10FX with an Orange Pad.
First we'll shake up the product and apply five dime size drops to the pad.
Phase 5 is a specialty product designed for fiberglass, gel coat and thick clear coat
on top of paint.
In case you don't know gel coat and fiberglass take a lot of abrasives to cut through because
it is a thicker paint with a resin finish so it is more durable against harsh conditions.
So we need an abrasive that can cut through that to get back to fresh paint.
Scratches are on the top layer of paint and by taking away a small amount you will reveal
fresh paint which restores that clarity.
We'll dab this out and on the lowest speed setting we'll spread it then on the highest
speed we will do our polishing.
So we're moving right along with the polish on this Charger.
I've done a few panels to show you guys that Phase 5 does a tremendous job of removing
scratches and swirls out of all the fiberglass areas but I wanted you guys to know it can
also be used for metal.
A lot of people don't know this but this car is not an original Charger obviously but the
center section with the doors and windshield is real but the rest of the car is all fiberglass
that has been blended into the metal surfaces.
So the car has multiple types of materials that you need to be careful of when polishing,
you have to know what you are working with so you don't harm the paint.
We're going to finish off the rest of the vehicle with Phase 5 on the doors and we still
need to blend a few areas before we take it outside to show you guys the before and after
to get the whole affect.
Alrighty guys we've come to the end of the detail on this off road Charger.
Starting with a foam bath using Black Light Soap we safely remove surface grime without
scratching but still enhancing the finish.
Moving on to Phase 5 we took care of the scratches on the fiberglass to bring back that show
shine.

We really hope you enjoyed this movie car video and we hope to see you guys next time
right here in the Detail Garage.
There is nothing left to say so lets bask in the ambiance of this beautiful car with
pure silence.
Silence is overrated!
