Tan body.. that sounds like a 96 model charger with the heat coating paint on it.
I know a few have and said it'* a ton of work. Seems that they pick up a polishing kit and spend hours upon hours at it. Sorry I don't have more info.

I think I have a write up or two in tech info performance.
As for cleaning it up, well, I find that to be a lot of work for little return, and it soon starts to fade. So what I do is clean it up, then a lite coat of paint, like stainless, aluminum, or chrome. Looks the same with a lot less effort. Use a higher heat paint that is resistant to solvents.

Ok Dan. I'll take a look at that 2moro. I'm postin from my phone right now and it kinda sucks. While I'm thinkin about it though, any particular paint brand work best in this situation?

I took a different approach. Since corrosion is such a pain, paint of some sort was on my list. I also wanted to keep people from seeing imperfections. And it helped me hide a lot of stuff in the engine bay.
Wrinkle paint.
There is an intercooler under that charger.
