    2015 Dodge Challenger Shaker Edition
    Black


    I have a client who uses this as his daily driver and it lives outside 24/7. Needless to say, it needed a little love from the good doctor at Autodermatology.

    A two-step correction was on deck along with a minor interior cleanup, and of course the wheels were hammered.

    As you will see below, the majority of the products I used were from Adam’s Polishes. I wanted to give them another shot and see what kind of results could be achieved from his products, mainly the compounds/polishes/pads. I currently use a few of his products-glass cleaner, tire dressing, APC, wheel cleaner, etc on a regular basis. So, I wanted to see if these were up to the task for professional use.


    Manly machines: Rupes nano iBrid longneck, and a 15mm longthrow.

    Pads: Rupes 1” and 2” pads. Adam’s Polishes orange (heavy) and white (light) cutting/polishing pads.

    Chemicals: Wolfgang auto bathe, SCG Pro strip wash, Kenotek anti-insect, Adam’s deep wheel cleaner, Adam’s APC, Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner, Adam’s glass cleaner, Adam’s TID interior, Adam’s VRT for tire dressing. LSP: undisclosed sealant that I am beta testing.

    Vacuum via Metro.

    Misc microfiber towels were used.

    Tuff shine tire brush, Daytona speedmaster and other misc brushes.

    Clayed via nano wash mitt.


    I found the paint in atrocious condition: Swirls, scratches, haziness, water spots/streaks, etc. It was poor to say the least.

    The wheels/tires have never been touched since the dealer slung some greasy dressing on them a few thousand miles ago.

    The paint was pretty soft and corrected easily. I was happy with the results I was achieving with the products/system I was using.


    End result: I believe I breathed new life into this Procharged beast!! My client was stunned with the results and said he knew it was very bad on drop off.

    Doctor Scott at Autodermatology had another successful surgery!!!

    Thanks for looking!!!

    I forgot to ask, what did you do/use on the stripes?? Were they the matte black or just grey vinyl??

    ^^^^Matte black. I hit them very gently with a fine polish and pad. Then I used my LSP over top of them.
