So next up on the block was a 2016 Hellcat Challenger. This car came as a referral from not only a few other Challenger clients but the sales women at the local Dodge dealer who sold it to him as well.
A little back story. I had received a call about 2-3 weeks ago from the sales women at the dealership. She had got my info from one of her friends/clients whom also has a black Challenger that corrected and fully coated earlier this year. This particular Hellcat came in on trade with only 2k miles on the clock but I can assume with confidence the previous owner must have had a weekly wash done at the local scratch and swirl. She told me she was selling the car to a close friend and that he was very interested in having it corrected and possibly coated but didn`t know where to turn. After going over my services with her and answering her questions I specifically told her not to let the dealership touch it and just have him bring it to me. She completely agreed and it turns out she has a couple nice Challengers of her own.
So long story short, he brought the car in for an assessment and to lock in a package and date. A simple test spot sold him instantly. So he decided to do the full package while it was here. Also when he came to pickup the car his son brought his black 740 BMW in for me to look at. Knocked out a test spot for him and he was instantly sold as well. HAHAHA.
Wheels/Tires
Removed, cleaned with Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel and IGL Iron. Tires got LATA and dressed with Mckees gloss tire gel. Wheels coated with IGL Wheel coating on the faces and barrels.
Plastic wheel liners and Calipers
Cleaned and prepped with LATA, Foaming wheel cleaner gel and IGL Precoat. Coated with IGL Eclipse chemical resistant industrial coating.
Wash/Decon
Foamed and 2BM with hyper wash, nanoskin light clay towel. Also de-badged it.
Correction
So this is another vote for how awesome 3D ONE is. Someone on here or Autogeek had asked if I had tried it with leaving the residue on the panel and not wiping off after my cutting stage then just switching pads and adding a tiny bit of product and go right into my finish polishing. I figured this would be the time to try it and all I can say is it cut my correcting time way way down!!!!
I used my Rupes Mark ll 21mm and Swirl killer mini both with Megs microfiber cutting pads. Being that 3D ONE is somewhat transparent when working it in I could see when defects were removed. I simply left the polish on the paint, switch over to a Rupes yellow pad and added a tiny drop of polish onto the pad and began my finishing polish stage. Then wiped off the polish when done to show a beautiful corrected surface. I was able to complete the correction work in about 6hrs. Which for a big black car getting a 2 step is pretty sweet!
LSP- IGL Kenzo on paint and trim.
Exterior glass- IGL window coating
