2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat I had a practically new, off the showroom floor Hellcat come in to me for a complete front to back, top to bottom, wheels off coating and paint correction. This 707 HP beast needed some attention! The vehicle only has 400 miles on it. It is driven daily. It arrived very dirty with your typical road grime, dirt, bird bombs, water spots, some marring, scuffs, scratches and light swirls. Autodermatology rectified these issues! Process: Foam cannon with Wolfgang Autobathe to break down some of the dirt. 2BW with SCG Pro Surface Prep Wash. Chemical decon with Sonax Fallout Cleaner. Clayed with Nanoskin Medium Wash Mitt Dried via Metro Master Blaster Taped off with 3M and CarPro tape. Paint readings taken with Paint thickness gauge. Polished/Corrected with Flex 3401, Flex PE8 and miscellaneous medium cut foam pads. CarPro Essence was the polishing/correcting media. Misc microfiber towels were used. I waited about an hour for the Essence to ‘cure’. While the Essence was curing, I tackled the windows with Adam’s Glass Cleaner and a dedicated glass microfiber towel. The glass was sealed with Adam’s Glass Sealant. The vehicle’s paintwork was coated with Beeds Premium Ceramic Paint Treatment/Ceramic Coating. 2 coats were applied. The wheels were removed to be cleaned and coated. The wheels were cleaned with Adam’s Deep Wheel Cleaner, misc brushes, Daytona Speedmaster Brushes, and then washed with a micro-chenille mitt and Wolfgang Autobathe. Any spots of tar were tackled with Stoner Tarminator. The wheels were coated with CarPro Dlux. The tires were cleaned with Tuf Shine tire cleaner. They were dressed with Kenotek Vinyl and Leather Conditioner. (I love this stuff as a tire dressing!). The calipers were cleaned and coated with CarPro Dlux. The wheels were then reinstalled and torqued to the proper specification. The vehicle’s interior was vacuumed via Metro Vacuum. The interior leather was protected with GYEON LeatherCoat. The non-leather interior areas were treated with Ultima Interior Guard Plus. The vehicle’s floor mats and carpet were treated with GYEON FabricCoat. The exhaust tips were cleaned with 1Z APC and then coated with CarPro Dlux. Please let me know if I missed anything of if you have any questions! Thanks for looking!
Some before pics. Car was VERY dirty. Customer drives it daily, which is super cool, and this is to be expected. Defects were extremely difficult to pick up with my camera. Light swirling over a majority the car, the dreaded, DISO from the dealer, a few scuffs and heavier scratches. Nothing really major. The paint was in overall good condition.
Final, completed shots!! Watch yer eyes...that white is popping!! Reflection shots in white: Thanks for looking!!!
Such a beautiful job! how many hours did it take btw and do you do this all on your own or do you work with others as a team?
Nice. We've done a few of the HellCat Challengers but haven't had a Charger HellCat in yet..those look mean. Good work!
