John is that bad rash on the doors? Or reflection of some type?

I have the same question. The paint looks awful. Sorry, not trying to be mean.

Hate to say it, but from the pictures it appears your car has been attacked by die cast rot. I've not seen that on this model before. It's the kiss of death.

Can't slip nothing by you guys....

It does have a little rash, but it's not as bad as it looks in that first photo. It also had some kind of residue that I had not cleaned off. I didn't pay a lot for this one, and the rash isn't noticeable when it's in the display case.

Nah, Phil, thanks for the input from all yall...

... what polish do you use? I've got some other WCPDs with minor rash. I've bought a few knowing they had some rash but they were priced appropriately and they ain't making 'em anymore.

It’s nothing special. “Liquid Lusture” bought it at Javitts years ago and always keep a bottle handy

Works great at removing scratches from plastic and swirl marks in black paint.
