    2012 Challenger detail

    So I got to do a quick detail on my buddy's brand new Challenger last week, his paint was mostly swirl free but had some rain etching and water spots from sprinklers at his school. I washed using Meguiar's Crystal Wash, claybarred, polished using M205 with my PC7424 and finished it up with Meg's NXT 2.0. Any swirls and etches that were there were gone afterwards and it had a great shine and he was a happy camper. He's not really knowledgeable about this stuff so I gave him a few tips to prevent future etching or swirls. It wasn't very sunny that day unfortunately but you can get an idea from the pics. BTW, I loved machine polishing this thing, the body panels are huge and flat and very easy to buff. I'm used to a 98 Trans Am with all of it's curves so this thing was a breeze

    Hey thanks, I thought it would be a cool way to spice up the garage a bit for $30 worth of paint. Good eye! Here's another pic of it right after I finished it

    Nice job. I have detailed quite a bit of the challengers chargers 300's and magnums. The paint is so easy to work with and they can shine up very well.

    Turned out fantastic. I test drove a 2012 prior to buying the SS. Sweet car.

    I wasn't going to click on this link because I knew how envious I'd be ........but I did anyway.

    Simply an outstanding job on a true muscle car legend.

    I'm from those days, back when muscle cars roamed the planet where Mopar's, Ford's and Chevy's ruled the road.

    The Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro's of today are direct descendents of the muscle cars of yesteryear and if I could I'd have one of each in my stable today, they're just that good!!
