This is a new client that was a referral. His BAD BLACK KITTY was in dire need of some love. It was covered from nose to tail with heavy swirls, some scratching and marring. This is a 2018 model with only a little over 2,000 miles on it. Code name: HAMMERED.

While it was in to Autodermatology, it was going to receive a wheels off paint correction and a glass coating to keep it looking as good as it can for as long as it can!(with proper maintenance).

I achieved approximately 80% correction. Being a brand new vehicle with just over 2,000 miles on the clock and minimal factory clear, I wanted to be as conservative as possible in an attempt to ‘save some paint/clear’ for any possible future corrections it may need.


Process/Tools/Chemicals/Etc:

Decon: IronX lemon.
Wash: 2BW w/Adam’s Shampoo.
Clay: Griot’s Medium Mitt.
MF Chenille mitt.
Misc. MF and foam pads.
Rupes LK900, LHR75 and iBrid/Nano.
Defelsko PTG.
MasterBlaster.
ScanGrip lighting.
Griot’s Fast Correcting Crème.
Blackfire Polish.
CarPro Eraser for final wipedown.
LSP: 22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
Wheels/Calipers/Wells LSP: 22ple VM1.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Adam’s APC.
Misc. brushes.
GYEON tire for tire dressing.
Adam’s glass cleaner.
Metro Vacuum.
McKee’37 quick interior detailer.
Gtechniq leather guard on all interior leather surfaces.
Pinnacle exhaust cleaner and brightener on exhaust tips.


Thank you for looking! Any questions please ask! Comments are welcomed!































 
Great work on a cool car.

I must say though that I’ve never seen such a hammered car with that low of miles. WOW!

I just did an 1,100hp highly modified Roush Mustang that is pure black and four years old that was in way better shape that this Cat.

awesome car and another great job sizzlechest,,like TTQ B4U said,,that paint is way hammered for the miles.
itlooks like it was washed with dish soap and beach sand
 
Agree with the others, was surprised to see the paint in such rough shape for the low mileage on the vehicle. Great job on your part restoring it.

Thanks everyone! Yep, it was beat!! Now to show the owner how to keep it this way!
 
Awesome work Scott!

That is one bad looking car in 2 ways lol! It's hammered and a mean looking car. The HP in Hellcat and Demon is crazy. Would love to test drive one of those sometime :)

Thanks all!!!

Tony, I'm with ya, would love to drive one, especially the Demon!!!

WRAPT: Rupes wool, blue green and yellows...
 
I'm drooling!

Awesome work as always, Scott......:dblthumb2:
 
Nice Scott Nice!! :props:

I would love a Hellcat Challenger but I think the Wife would be easier to convince into the purchase of the Charger (four door sedan, family car?) . . . actually, I doubt I could convince her at all to be honest. :awman:

Incredible turn around on this bad kitty my friend, lets hope the owner takes your advice in & puts that knowledge into practice. Absolutely brilliant workmanship, what stunning results! :wow:

Thank you for sharing! :props:

Wow that was really nasty for only a couple thousand miles! Great turnaround, as usual Sizzle.
 
Awesome job! That paint was trashed.
Should have asked him to take you for a ride, they are wicked fast. The track hawk launches even harder, crazy. If I wasn't in the passenger seat of both cars I wouldn't believe it. Dodge has certainly set the bar engine wise
 
That's my dream car, but I'd like a white one. Which scotch brite pad were they using to wash the vehicle to have the paint in that condition with so few miles?
 
Nice work, yet again, Sizzle Chest! Car looks great.

Crazy that the newer cars are coming with less and less paint :(
