LSN Auto Detail - 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8

Pinnacle Exhaust Tip Cleaner & Lake Country Exhaust Tip Scrubber: https://www.autogeek.net/pinnacle-exhaust-cleaner-brightener.html

Thanks! What is the scrubber that you're referring to? I liked the mothers power ball tool, but it was only useful around the bottom of the exhaust tips because the tips sit high and tight to the underside of the rear end, so I was doing that top part by hand anyway.

As you can see its Euro spec only, has Charger wheels and rear foglights.

Hey Aaryn, good to hear from you... saw your post the other day (catch-up on things), haven't had time to reply yet. As Klasse states, the 300/Charger and Magnum were all off the same platform. Guess Chrysler Corp decided to drop the wagon. Rumor has it that either the Charger or 300 will be gone from the line-up as well. Most are betting the 300 due to dismal sales.

The Magnum has an aggressive look to it, I'm sure it would have sold okay down here too to be fair. The 300c we got new in a few different variants. Wagons or sedans both the V6 & V8, then the SRT8 & we got the diesel down this way also.

This is a picture of the 300c SRT8 I was working on.




I like the styling of this shape rather than the later ones. This is a super clean, one owner, only 31000km's on the clock car, & if it were to come up for sale, I'd have to be practicing my arm twisting skills on my Wife. rops:

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.

Before: the car's paint was lifeless and dull:

Very nice work.I went back to see what your lsp was.Its what I purchased yesterday.I went to ag and asked several people what is the most dripping wet look from a wax.They said the sovereign paste so I was grinding my teeth as I forked over 100 bucks for a wax.Im just glad I did great stuff.

I was going to use the liquid and use the crystal mist to help with the static promblems with the liquid but my choice was paste .

I've got a 2006 300C SRT8 with the brilliant black paint. I also like the Gen 1 shape better than the Gen 2 round shape.

I'll be trying to "fix" the curb rash on the underside of the front lip in the Spring. It'll be my 1st time wet sanding and then will coat with Duplicolor's Perfect Match paint and then clear it. I figure it being on the underside that it will work out well...

Excellent results. I too love those and would love to own one. Quick wagons!
