Been a busy past week or so with black vehicles. First off was my buddies black Monte Carlo SS

This daily driver had seen better days but I knew with a bit of work I could get it back to a nice state. Among the road rash and deeper scratches there was tons of holograms and swirls that needed serious attention. We agreed on a 2 step and IGL Poly 1 year coating.


Wash/Prep- Foamed and washed with Hyper wash, Clayed with Nanoskin Handy towel


Engine bay- Cleaned with LATA and dressed with Hyper dressing


Wheels/Tires- Wheels are dipped black so I just used some soapy water and brushes, Tires have white letter paint so soapy water and then dressed with Hyper dressing


Correction- Boss G21, Meg microfiber cutting pads, Fast correcting cream/ Adams swirl killer mini with 3in megs pad


Finish polish- Boss G21, Rupes yellow pad, Hyper polish, Adams swirl killer mini 4in rupes yellow pads
LSP- IGL Poly

Coat right over them. I always and highly suggest coating decals and matte finishes.

I was talking to a Hellcat owner who told me that the finish on the matte-black hoods are very easily damaged and cannot be repaired.

He got his painted with a matte-finish clear. It looks great and looks stock.
