    DetailedByPrecision How did so many defects occur on a brand new 2017 Challenger Paint Correction CquartZ Ceramic Coating Auto Detailing San Francisco

    Met the owner in person after he purchased his brand new dodge challenger to inspect it. He noticed a lot of defects on the paintwork after the dealership washed it for him. After inspecting, there were an insane amount of defects and some extremely deep ones as well. We agreed on a 3 step paint correction along with wetsanding for the deeper defects. This was one of the worst brand new cars I've worked on due to the excessive amount of deep scratches present for me to do my best to save it without compromising the paintwork. We chose CquartZ ceramic coating to help with the sensitive black paint.

    95% correction achieved. M101 w/mf pads, D300 w/orange LC, Menz203 w/white LC, Essence w/black LC. The most time consuming part about this job was not the amount of taping required, nor the sheer amount of defects required wetsanding. The whole car was glazed before and hid so many sanding scratches, and more would show up or reveal itself after going over the section or area. The entire ordeal with the car was just messed up and the end result made both the owner and I extremely happy.

    Omg, so much taping to do. He should have gotten rid of the stripes to make it easier (and better looking). That car arrived with trashed paint

    I would have figured d300 on a microfiber pad would have removed 90% of those defects. I’ve never used d300 on a foam pad. Why did you use 205 and follow it up with Essence? Essence has decent cut. The car really came out nice and looks like it took tons of work. Personally I would have refused it at the dealership, especially with you having to wetsand it. Taking off that much clear on a new car is not a good way for a car to start its life off. I’m sure the customer was very happy with the results!
