    LSN Auto Detail - 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8

    Customer came to me with his 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8. For a garage queen, the paint was in rough shape, interior wasn't too bad...
    Found this paint not too soft, and not too hard. After several test spots and getting very upset, we decided to bite the bullet and do a two-step (although only quoted as a one-step).
    Customers reaction when he picked the car up: "This is looks better than when I bought it brand new in 2008!!!" - as picky as we were, we won the customer over.

    Onto the details;

    Wheels & Tires - GG HD Wheel Cleaner, wheel woolies and Pinnacle APC 4:1 and Mothers Brushes
    Engine - Wolfgang Total Engine Cleaner, BLACKFIRE AIO Trim & Tire

    Exterior:
    McKee's Extreme Iron Remover
    Megs Hyper Wash / Chenille Wash Mitts / 2BM and AGO Foam Cannon
    Nano Skin Clay Mitt - Megs D114 clay lube

    Test spot 1: HD Speed ---> didn't put a dent in the swirls and scratches!
    Test Spot 2: BOSS Fast Correcting Cream ---> Dispatched the swirls and scratches but left light marring, which cleaned up with SPEED
    Paint Correction: Fast Correcting Cream, Rupes LRH MKII-15, Rupes Green Pads
    Polish: HD Speed, Rupes LRH MKII-15 and BOSS Orange Pads
    LSP: Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, Rupes LRH MKII-15 and White RUPES pads
    Glass: Pinnacle Crystal Vision Glass Cleaner w/ repellent
    Grill, Trim & Tires: BLACKFIRE AIO Tire & Trim
    Final Wipe Down: Pinnacle Crystal Mist

    Interior
    Metro Vac & Blow
    Mytee Extractor / McKee's Extractor PreTreatment
    McKee's Total Interior Cleaner
    McKee's Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner

    Wow! Very beautiful work! Did you fix that dent yourself? I am assuming you know how to do paintless dent removal. Again, superb work!

    Great job! Torred is a beautiful color and looks amazing when it is finished properly. It's what I want for my second Challenger. Doing the polishing step with an all-in-one is definitley helpful to save time. I've used Griot's Garage Fast Correcting Cream followed up with their Finishing Sealant to great effect. Thanks for sharing!

    Nice job. I love anything SRT, and I wish they still made the Magnum. How many miles were on the car? Does he want to sell it? j/k, kinda.

    According to my VIF, it was 34k and change... No I don't think he's selling it... that is his baby!

    Looking sweet! Great job! Your not alone. Sometimes it's just easier to bite the bullet and knock out a quick 2 step instead of fighting a 1 step that isn't providing consistent results. Great job!
