Cosmic High Gloss Hellcat - Go Mango Edition

Last year I decided to support a local youth home`s backpack drive by donating a detail auction and it received much more support than I thought and I ended up 2 stepping and coating the winning bidders Black Hellcat Challenger because the winning bid was at a coating price.

This year I held the same auction and the exact same person gave the winning bid. He had since sold his Black Hellcat (due to literal excessive modification issues-mostly related to lack of a proper installer/tuner but that`s an entirely new thread in itself) and had purchased a `measly stock`-ha hellcat in Go Mango.

You all have seen this car before, but not like this :)

Vehicle was dropped off Friday evening but my mom was in town so I spent the evening hanging out with her instead of working on the car. The next morning at before sunrise I woke up and gave my wonderful neighbors another hellcat red key cold start Saturday. And this time one of my neighbors literally came over with a cup of coffee. Anyways...

The wash:
your standard chemical and mechanical decon
wheels got ph neutral soap and woolies and lots of attention to the front calipers with bhb and q tips afterwards...later given a panel wipe spray and then two coats of supersport
tires-apc then pb bold n bright liquid + carrand tire brush

The Cut:
The Last Cut Compound on rupes yellow for the passenger side but someone really marred up the drivers side so I had to use urotech maroon pad with same compound (as well as on hood)
Side note: I cut into this car with esclate and rupes yellow pad this past feb and it was probably 93% or so when I left it. I got it back the other day at probably 75% and I coldn`t help but think "This is the best maintained car out of all my Mopar guy`s cars at the 6 month mark."
The car also wasn`t even out of the break in stage at that time, but now only had under 3500 miles.

The shine:
Polish Angel Invincible Primer (car pro gloss pad)
Polish Angel Cosmic v2 (four layers)
Polish Angel Cosmic Sprits (applied in between each layer and after the final layer)
Polish Angel High Gloss (applied 12 hours after the final layer of cosmicv2 +spritz) which also happene to be rigth when the client showed up so the outside pics are literally 10 minute after adding the high gloss topper.

naked shots: compound step only

extremely hard to photograph the marring with my s5 phone that is slowly meeting its demise

---- the next day, fully cured..then added high gloss as the owner showed up 2.5 hours earlier than the earliest time I advised him to come....so I didn`t really get my full outside leisurely photo shoot and the high gloss had no time to really start shining in its full glory, but heres some sun shots (from the garage)

videos:
garage vids: naked paint

those wheels!!!

sneaking up on the color changing Go Mango!

Final thoughts: I`m beat. 26 hours invested from what I can recall
also did the interior leather w/ bella clean and charisma and tidied the bay up with engine
oh, the glass and rubber around it got diver
oh and I did some paint touch up with dr colorchip (found it in the passenger seat and figured he didn`t buy it to use himself)

Thanks for viewing.

Happy Mopar Monday by the way ;)
 
Looks great, super nice job.

On a side note, would you mind sharing what photo hosting site your using. All my picture are posting annoyingly large using imgur

I have a galaxy s5 and I just upload the pics from my phone on tapatalk

I upload the vids on my laptop and usually add the text through the laptop since I can type faster on a keyboard
