2012 Dodge Challenger R/T Hemi
Black/Black
70,000 miles
5.7 liter V8, 375hp, 410tq, 6 spd manual
0-60 4.7 seconds
Modifications: Headers, hi-flow cats, SLP exhaust, K&N intake, tuner.
I have previously corrected and coated this vehicle. It fell victim to the owner’s home owners association having all of the roofs in the neighborhood pressure washed and bio-washed. Whatever chemicals used on the roof over sprayed onto the vehicle and spotted the coating as well as dulled the surface. The plastic hood scoop inserts and other plastics were pitted and needed to be replaced. The company attempted to wipe off the chemicals with who knows what, and trashed the surface of the vehicle. TONS of swirls and scratches were put into the clear. A shame.
The owner has heartbroken! He brought it over to see if there was anything that could be done and I found that I could polish out the damage, however I would be removing the coating. I would need to correct and coat the vehicle all over again.
Process/chemicals/tools/etc:
Adam’s car shampoo.
Griot’s medium mitt.
Adam’s APC was used to clean the engine compartment and wheel wells.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
