2015 Dodge Hellcat

[medicscott]

Yesterday I had the privilege to pick up and drive back a brand new Dodge Hellcat. When I say 702 HP is actually SCARY, i'm not kidding. It's a rocket ship that I had up to 100 without really putting my foot on the gas. A beast at the very least. Has to be one of the top fastest cars on American roads and certainly after driving Lambo's and Ferrari's this has the most muscle i've ever driven.

Enjoy the ride

First I picked it up from the dealer

Lets scrub some tires with DP tire and rubber restorer

Onto some DP Foam and a 2 bucket wash

3D HD BDX and Pinnacle Clay Bar time.

Prep...I used a lot of tape. Plastic trim everywhere that would later be coated in Carpro DLUX

There were a total of 6 defects in the vehicle, each addressed and spot compounded with a Flex 3401, FG400 and white LC Flat Pad

Rest of vehicle was polished with Menzerna 4500 with a black LC Flat Pad and a Flex 3401 and PE8.

There are 3 keys the owner received. There is a black key with limited access for valet. A black key that knocks the HP to 300 and the red key which blasts the car into 703 HP. All painted, glass and wheel surfaces were coated with Pinnacle Diamond Coating.

As always, Menzerna 4500 and Pinnacle never disappoints...

This particular customer had some fleet. BMW X5, Audi Q5, Mercedes 63 AMG, Mercedes SL550, a 2006 Viper, a 67 Mustang, and now the Hellcat. I was a little kid in a candy store...and yes all of his vehicles are getting the royal treatment!

A rocket ship with wheels

Then we addressed the interior with a wipe down and Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Coating on all surfaces except the suede. The interior had some mud and light dirt in it from transport.

Yes, this is one of my oldest most favorite customers. We go way back and there is lots of trust...I told him the dealer/salesman said not to punch it for the 1st 500 miles...he said "I'm fired" if I listen to him! So great.

Hahaha thats great nothing is better when someone appreciates your work.

Like when i get a tip or people tell me how much they love the car sure the money is good. But it just feels good when people are happy with your work means alot rather a 5-100 dollar tip it makes you feel good

I agree 100%. As I always say. "Tell your friends, tell your friends".

$60,000 for 700HP sounds really fantastic, even a steal for Israel's reality, this car here costs $130,000.
Nice job.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Wow! Stunning work Scott! That black paint is oozing with vibrancy.

[Lustrous Detail]

My dream car!

[PA DETAILER]

OMG. What a dream car. I take it this guy likes BLACK?

[DeansDetailing]

Looks awesome! No paint gauge readings this time? Which Guage do you use, BTW.

[silverfox]

Considering what that car weighs...it needs every bit of that 700hp. Nice work.

[LSNAutoDetailing]

Awesome work Scott.

[Sicoupe]

Wow! Outstanding job my friend!

[custmsprty]

Excellent work and great write up.

[dabirdz]
