I'm liking that ramp and lift set-up. Anybody know who makes that?

Looks great now. But if that was my car I’d remove that hideous yellow stripe on the front lip.

That’s the protector for the transporter. Dealer typically removes them only are not supposed to remove them on demons

I asked the owner if he wanted me to remove it but he requested I leave it in place. These Challenger guys seem to like them...

Wow...thats over the top work there!

How did you find the paint to be? Soft, hard or in between? And what products did you use during the correction steps?

Tom

Thank you Tom! This particular Hellcat was super soft. Like warm butter on the dinner table-soft.

Used Megs 205 for compounding with Megs MF pads on GG6" and 3", as well as Rupes 21's (gen 1 and 2), Rupes TA50 1" DA, Rupes 3" DA. Final polishing steps with 205 with black LC foam and then CarPro Reflect on a gloss pad.

Those reflection pics are unbelievable, did you use any filters on those? I am always bummed out when the paint only reflects like that at the perfect angle, distance, and light on my car

Thanks! No filters used. Straight from the camera, not even a UV filter.

Awesome reflection and finish you got on it! Great work!

I be sad for the people who buy them a new car and then the dealership screw it up that bad.And I don't understand how the dealerships can go on with this behavior. I mean that you can sue for almost anything in the US. There is just a thin clearcoat this days you have on a car. And with that bad polishing you have to compound pretty much to get the damage gone after them. But do they get away with it they wont change their procedure.

Great that you pros is out there to help out the new car owners. And you do a very good job. It has been better if you only bad to do a finishing polish and protection on them and a small correction here and there.

Thank you very much

Beautiful work my friend.

Thank you sir

Needs to go back to the dealership and shown how the BRAND NEW car is supposed to look like

Ha! They couldn't even see the swirls or buffer trails to start with. I'd send them to the eye doctor first to get glasses, THEN show them the car

The lift is a Bendpak MD-6XP.

The ramps are totally custom made. 1/4" aluminum, with gussets underneath for added strength. All cut out on waterjet and with 30hrs of tig welding. Solid enough to park a Mac truck on it.

Wow! The new Widebody SRT Hellcat looks awesome. Great job correcting the paint surface on this beast. Keep up the great work!

If you get a chance---can you send me the measurements of the ramps? Width, height and length?
Really dig that set up!!

^^ this. It blows me away to see that many swirls on a brand new car. Thankfully the ones I've encountered haven't been nearly that bad. I do work for a local Ford Dealer as all they do to new car deliveries is remove plastic, wash and spray wax them.
