This gentleman had come to see me about 2 years ago when I was working on an Alfa Romeo. He was so impressed that he decided right there that I was the guy he was going to bring his 3 cars to. He ended up having a heart attack but has recovered and was now ready to have the first one done: a 2015 white Dodge Challenger. I had 2 unopened bottles of regular CQuartz and I had priced them to move. He took advantage of that deal. Smart guy and helped him to afford having all 3 done.
Not only was he kind enough that he's bringing me 3 cars, here's another goody he had waiting for me...God bless him!

The wheels were not going to get coated as I usually do b/c he's going to have them painted gloss black and then I'll coat them the appropriate time afterward. I was in for a one step polish, but it is a daily driver and ended up needed 2 steps to the hood and deck lid and a few other small places. He came over to witness the difference and then advised to go ahead and do both steps where needed. Here is a few examples of areas that needed it:

The 2 step process was Flex 3401 + black 3D wool + M100. The follow up step and what the rest of the car got for a one step was a yellow B/S pad + 3401 + a mixture of M205 + DG squeaky clean. The tires were dressed with Opti Bond. The wheels got nothing other than a cleaning. The paint was coated (as well as the stripes) with CQuartz regular. The trim was done with DLux. I forgot what a pain this was to work with compare with my Feynlab coatings. It was given a final UWW wipe down prior to delivery. Here it is all done, inside shots and out.
