So in July I decided to buy a bunch of cleaning materials to clean-up my G8. I spent roughly 10 hours cleaning her up and the results were nothing short of incredible!
Well, I have had the itch to do my SHO for a while now, and had to hold off because the weather constantly sucked or I was too busy. So this past weekend, I only had intentions of cleaning her up and throwing a coat of wax on, since the previous owner never took great care of the paint. I just got curious, whipped out my polisher, did a test area, and fell in love with the results. So, here I ended up spending a total of 12 hours with this car, and that included waxing my freshly powder coated wheels.
I used all Meguiar's products, including the M205 polish, Ultimate Wax (synthetic for a base coat), and M26 Carnauba wax (top coat). I had full intentions of doing an M7 glaze, but I found out that my pad was a tad too abrasive and reintroduced micro swirls back into the paint... so I have to skip that for now. I've got a Porter Cable 7424xp DA polisher and I used CCS Smart Pads. (

So I'm super stoked that this thing is finally done. I wish the front bumper looked better, but it is what it is.... stupid rocks!
Now here's my question. I didn't have any masking tape this time around and just so happened to get some wax on the plastic bottom rockers. Is there any way to get this off? I tried Mother's Back to Black, but that isn't pulling the wax off.
