Make It Shine: Black SRT4
Hey everyone. Catching up with some posting here. Did this car a couple of days ago and had some time to go through a few pictures for upload. It has a Mopar Stage 3 kit to run around 22psi with the flip of a couple of switches. The car is currently up for sale too. Just did a quick job on it.
Process:
- Citrus Wash & Gloss
- Kleenol to rims, tires, wheel wells. Agitated with tire brush, Ez-Detail brush, and small stiff-bristled brush for wheel wells
- Riccardo Clay + ONR lube. Paint was heavily contaminated!
- Poli-Seal on PC with Sonus Blue pads.
- Collinite 476S
- Tires dressed with Opti-Bond
On to the pictures!
Thanks for looking!

Re: Make It Shine: Black SRT4
Great job, the black looks very deep, and should for a while with the 476s on it.
One thing though, does the LF tire dressing look blotchy to you? What did you use to apply the opti-bond?

Re: Make It Shine: Black SRT4
Looks amazing for only using Poli-Seal!
I'm guess there weren't many swirls and scratches to begin with?

Re: Make It Shine: Black SRT4
Bah, a Neon. For some reason I was hoping it'd be the Caliber SRT4.
Nice turnaround, that Opti-bond stuff looks sweet.

Re: Make It Shine: Black SRT4
That car looks nice...it is always good to see another SRT-4 on here! Did you measure the paint thickness on this car? If so, I am curious about what you found, especially across the hood and fenders.

Thanks a lot! The car needs some heavy compounding, that's for sure!

Thanks! Yes you are right, the dressing does look blotchy. I actually applied Opti-Bond twice to the tires because of this.

Poli-Seal is very underrated! There were tons of swirls, but the owner didn't really care to spend the money on a full correction when the car is for sale anyway. Totally understandable.

Thanks! I did not measure the paint thickness as it was just a clean up. I know for a fact that a few places have been repainted but nothing serious. Whoever repainted the parts did an excellent job though.

I guess that the paint can be ridiculously thin across the front, and very smooth! These cars are tougher to make look good then you would think...nice job! |

Nice work. Poliseal always looks tremendous on darker colors!

lol at your comment 
But i do like the Caliber also. Very very good motor in those SRT-4. 400-450whp easily and safely without internals upgrade.
Kaval, how do you like Kleenol ?
Any dilution to fit your needs ? I would like some information about it, cause i bought the "BOGO" deal before christmas from Eshine. I'm just not 100% sure how to use it, on what to use it, and dilution depending of my utility.
Any idea ?
Thank you
