Chase@InsanePaint Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I need to start this thread off by saying this car was FILTHY, modified a bit "differently," has a forged 392 with a Kenne Bell, but it was also raining the first half of the detail..... The car was washed the day before. Not to my "standard" but it was overall clean enough for Waterless Wash, so that's how the detail started. I wasn't able to do a FUUUULL detail on the engine bay, due to the weather. So it got wiped down as best possible with WW & dressed with In & Out. I didn't take any pics of the engine bay, because it wasn't enough progress to notate. ALSO. This thing hasn't seen a good detail in the three years he's owned it. So the wheels.........well, lol.......even after a soaking in APC, it didn't even TOUCH the baked-on-caked-on brake dust & road grime. And I didn't have any Iron cut to aid in the breakdown of the tainted wheels. So I didn't take any "after" pics, because the progress was very minimal. Needless to say, this was my most difficult detail to date, but also the most rewarding. So here we go: Adam's Waterless Wash & towel Adam's Clay Bar & single soft towel Adam's All Purpose Cleaner on wheels & tires & fender wells Adam's Invisible Undercarriage spray (Used another vendor's aggressive cut compound & pad) Adam's Fine Machine Polish & pad Flex polisher Adam's double soft towel Adam's Quick Sealant (wanted to do Brilliant Glaze & Americana Wax, but ran out of time, job took 10 hours as it was) Adam's SVRT on all tires & plastic Adam's Upholstery cleaner & brush Adam's Interior cleaner Adam's Leather Conditioner Car was also debadged, you're about to see why, lol...... BEFORE when I arrived at his house Lots of paint defects and severe swirls Stains in the clearcoat from a spill off a truck on the interstate, sheesh. These were embedded..... This hood was HORRRRRRRRRRIFIC Interior before, all the CRUD under the seats To give an idea of how filthy the seats were, this is after wiping down ONE seat with Leather & Interior cleaner, lol Paint AFTER Remember that God-awful hood......?? Well........ Interior after And as a quick reminder for those of you looking for protection on your flat or satin black pieces. Adam's Quick Sealant is AMAZING for protecting those vinyl or painted parts. It completely "balanced" the stripes on this Chally, and now they're impervious to the elements as well. GREAT product. Thanks to Adam's Polishes baby. Just waiting on the release of your iron-cut product & a faster more aggressive polish for guys like me that need it, lol. Hope you guys enjoyed.

Chase@InsanePaint Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Chase....... Awesome write up! Sick work! Amazing results! Killer reflections! Total Face Melt! That is all Just takin' notes from you, punk!! Lol. What's crazy......is this was JUST with Quick Sealant as the LSP. If I'd had another hour, I'd have added BG & APW. Sweet. Poor challenger before happy chally after That's quite the turn around! Nice save. Thanks boys!!! He's going back to his OEM wheels, and I'm gonna polish & seal them beforehand. Along with doing a "proper" detail on his engine bay. At that point I'll add the BG & APW to the paint as well. Like guys tuning a newly built motor say after the first dyno session...."I still got a little left in her." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase@InsanePaint Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Probably not 100% Chris. But he's AWARE of it now. I sent him a follow up email with advice on how to maintain. And he got a Vol.7 DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I don't envy the wheel cleaning there. At all. Yuck. Nice turn around! I hope you left the detail not hating life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT8Girl12 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I don't understand how people drive cars that are that dirty. It actually makes me cringe. And the badge?! Holy crap, whoever washed it really did not care AT ALL. Nice save Chase! Now come over and do my Jeep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase@InsanePaint Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Lol. Thanks y'all!! Nah, the thing about detailing for me, is its REWARDING to see the end result. It's a passionately gratifying feeling to see the progress. I'm proud of how beautiful the finished product becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
