Some of my Challenger friends and clients have been asking to see some pics of their cars, so here's one I did recently. Brand spankin new, just a couple hundred miles. Needed just light correction to fix the heavy texture and lack of clarity these new ones seem to be coming with straight from the factory. A little paint correction and boy did the gloss come out! The body and wheels were fully coated in 2 coats of CQuartz Professional ceramic coating. Wheels were pulled off the car and coated front to back, every square inch before IR curing and remounting. Many people ask if you can coat matte or satin wheels/spoilers/trim/hoods/vinyl, etc. Yes! You can and it looks great. Hope you like it!

This is the texture almost every Challenger and Charger I've seen in the last 4 years seems to have. Its not orange peel. Its more like dye back. The good news is, there is a substantial increase in clarity and gloss to the paint when you correct this.

After correcting it, much more clarity and gloss

Hope you enjoyed checking it out!
 
Cool car, photos, shop, and lighting. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

I really like your shop set-up, from the lights to the lift even the digital clock. Very clean modern look.

Thank you very much! Still have so many things I want to do to the shop. Little bit at a time though.
 
Ya Brentwood is much nicer. May have to drive through one day. Shop looks good.
 
Very nice. Have you used Finest Reserve?
 
Amazing! That gloss is impressive. Man I love Challengers. Almost bought my brothers Scat Pack earlier this year and I’ve been regretting letting him trade it.

Yeah I really like it here. Thanks so much.

Sure have. Was among the very first installers to get Reserve and have done a bunch of them. Most recently a '17 1LE, '17 BRZ, '16 GT3RS, and '15 458 Speciale, among others. Thanks!

Very nice. Man I want that lift too!

Thanks! They're only about $2k. Completely worth the investment.
