    Dodge Challenger Shaker edition

    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!!!



    As I received it:

    Impressive clarity to that paint. You have to just love a car like that, just enough dirt, debris, and defects so that it looks in need of detail. Then your two step polishing works as intended. Then the end result is a perfect looking Mopar.

    Give us a clue on the LSP. Sealant, coating, wax, or hybrid?

    See your banner in the garage. I get to shoot my Tikka .308 tomorrow for the first time. Got some Federal Gold Match, loaded with Sierra Matchking 168 gr. BTHP. Hoping to keep them sub MOA.

    Thanks LED! LSP was a sealant...

    Nice! You should be sub minute after a few rounds to get used to it! Let me know how she shoots! 'Send it!'
