    One Glossy Kitty - 2015 Challenger Hellcat - CQuartz Finest - CQuartz DLUX - Attention to Detailing Peoria

    This vehicle was brought to us for a proper new car prep. The owner was very interested in having excellent protection applied to all painted surfaces and wheels. The paint was thoroughly cleaned, spot corrected, polished, and coated with 2 coats of CQuartz Finest. The wheels were removed and thoroughly cleaned inside and out, they were then coated with CQuartz DLUX. While we had the wheels off, the brake calipers were cleaned & coated, wheel wells were cleaned, and suspension was cleaned. The interior was lightly cleaned as well. When it was all said and done, this car looked amazing!


    Process
    Tires: Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner & Brush
    Wheels: Sonax Full Effect & Various Brushes
    Wash: Citrus Wash
    Decontaminate: CarPro IronX, Tarminator, Nanoskin Speed Prep Mitt w/ Nanoskin Glide
    Paint Thickness Readings Taken
    Trim & Areas of concern taped with CarPro Masking Tape
    Correction: Shine Supply Flat Top on Orange LC Foam via BOSS G21, Rupes LHR21 and 75e
    Polish: Meguiar's M205 on White LC Foam via BOSS G21, Rupes LHR21, and 75e
    Coating Prep: CarPro Eraser
    Paint Coating: CQuartz Finest
    Wheel Coating: CQuartz DLUX
    Caliper Coating: CQuartz DLUX
    Tire Dressing: WaxAddicts Slick Spray Tyre Dressing
    Glass: Meguiar's D120
    Interior: Vacuum, 303, D120







    As always, we began by cleaning the tires. There was a considerable amount of dirt and grime built up on the rubber.





    We continue repeated cleaning until the tires and brush remain clean which indicates no more dirt is being removed.





    Barrels were then cleaned as best as possible while the wheels were still mounted.





    Wheel faces were then cleaned.





    The vehicle was then soaked in a thick layer of shampoo while I used a soft boar's hair brush to clean all the cracks and crevices. The vehicle was then carefully washed and decontaminated.





    Tar was removed from all lower panels.





    Once clean, the vehicle was then brought inside for inspection. Trim and areas of concern were taped off to avoid accidental damage while polishing. Defects were marked with small pieces of tape.





    I then proceeded to make my way around the vehicle and spot correct as many defects as I could find, no matter how small. Some before and after shots.
















































    Carefully removing wheels with protected wheel sockets.





    Wheel well before.





    Wheel well after.





    Wheel barrel before thorough cleaning.





    Wheel barrel after cleaning and coating.





    Wheel faces thoroughly cleaned.





    Wheel well before.





    Wheel well after.





    Calipers were then coated with CQuartz for added protection





    Applying CQuartz Finest.





    Baking CQuartz Finest with infrared curing lamps.





    Wheels looked amazing after being coated





    The paint looked great!






    Interior was cleaned

    The paint was glossy with deep and crisp reflections. This vehicle will be a breeze to maintain thanks to the exceptional protection, and will look great for years with proper maintenance!



















    Thanks for reading!
