For anyone that really knows ME.... IF It is nice out; I'm outside messing with one of the cars. There is always something to do and I enjoy doing somethin'/ anythin' to them.
Most of you know when I bought BLUE (for an everyday driver), the previous owner really did NOT take care of this car. To HIM it was just a car! I doubt I had ever seen a car this new with this many scratches on it, the inside was a mess, he had even hauled bails of straw in the back and had removed the hatch cover and straw was actually packed around the battery and fuse box in the hatch. It took several hours of vacuuming to get it all out. The battery had about 3" of corrosion on the negative terminal and actually ruined the battery.
With THREE small children and 127,500 miles when I bought it it was a total mess, however I liked the color BLUE, the SRT front facia and the fact that it has new drilled & slotted rotors. It has EVIC and Navigation. It did run pretty good, but needed the usual front end redone, i.e. tie rods, lower control arms, etc.
Well, I bought it and I have probably buffed this car more than a dozen times and detailed the inside often. It was looking better but IMO still a "clunker' at least compaired to my other TWO magnums. NO MATTER what I tried... could NOT get the scratches out.....
Today.... for the heck of it.... I had some stuff called paint sealant and I went out and put a coat on the hood.... WHAT ~ first time ever... about 90% of the scratches GONE... so I went to work and did the sides too. What an amazing product this is.
A few pictures of the product I used and the car.
(Still in NO way perfect; still some bad spots but A LOT BETTER!)
So... WHAT is your opinion ~ DO I still refer to BLUE as my "CLUNKER"???
