I coated this Charger two years ago
2017 Dodge Charger Daytona 392
It was due for a one step polish and coating once again. There was also a request to paint the calipers red. I didn’t take too many photos of the progress. But I did upload on my channel various products on various areas that I did on this one. I did take paint measurements and noticed higher readings on the front two fenders and and one corner of the hood. The hood definitely looked repainted as the gloss and orange peel are different. Come to find out that it was repainted by the previous owner due to front end damage. The rest of the paint is healthy with an average reading in the 5.5 mil range across the other panels.
The before condition
Test spot with CarPro Essence and a Rupes yellow foam pad using an LHR15MKII. I already knew the hardness of the paint from a couple years ago.
The paint was panel wiped with Eraser and coated with the Exoforma Graphene Coating. This is a one layer only coating. It darkened the paint and goes on pretty thick. Left the surface slick as well.
Various areas that were coated.
Glass coated with the Artdeshine Graphene Window Coating
Door jambs with GlassParency Graphene Spray Coating
Trim coated with PBL Ceramic Trim Restorer.
Tires coated with two layers of Cquartz BlackOut. Review can be found here.
Review - CarPro CQuartz BlackOut Tire & Rubber Coating
Wheels were stained. All I could do was clean, prep and coat them with Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating.
The various coatings used. Xtreme Solutions Graphene used on the matte vinyl's which will need to be replaced since they are stained with water spots that could not be removed by polishing.
