2 Challengers and a big Cadillac

[EBPcivicsi]

This Challenger was purchased new and prepped by the dealer�we had to fix quite a bit. :D



We first had to wash and clay the car�it was full of bonded contaminants. We then began to polish the paint�we finally decided on the following process.



Meguiars #105/FLEX/orange pad

PO106FF G110/speed6/white LC LP pad

We then washed the car with optimum soap, dried, and wiped down with customer-supplied Z6. We then applied two coats of ZFX’ed Z5 and then wiped the paint down with Z8

I guess someone decided to try some sanding?

Pulled into the wash/evaluation bay for a wash after compounding:

Here’s a shot of the shop after we pulled her back in�any guess as to what color car we normally work on? :D

The next Challenger was also prepped by the dealer and exhibited a very strange dullness�the black one had it too, but the orange was much more noticeable.



We used the same formula as above for this vehicle, but we sealed with M21



Here you can see that the left side is unpolished and you can see just how dull and hazy it is:

A close up of the same shot:

We also applied paint protection film to the front bumper, fenders, hood, mirrors, door cups, and rear bumper.

This Cadillac was painted by a local custom shop and had quite a few sanding marks, holograms, etc that needed to be addressed. Water spots were also terrible on one side of the vehicle�my guess is that a sprinkler got him.

And after polishing with #105 wool for the heavy marks, #105/FLEX orange for the rest, then PO106FF G110 white LC LP white, and sealing with opti-seal/OCW

Great Job!!! I have had good luck with the M105 / Orange / Flex combo as well.

[Bigpoppa3346]

Those challengers are awesome, they look SOOOO much better in person than they do in pics.



That Caddy would look great if it didn`t have those ghetto fab rims.



Nice work all around.

[Mobilejay]

Nice job on the corrections they look great. Hey is that an Ultima in the back ground? I can`t remember if thats what they`re called or not, its the white car sitting with all the blak cars. What ever they`re called those things are SWEET!

Again, nice work

[Junebug]

Great job on the cars, you really know your stuff! Which of the LSP`s you did would you say would be the best all-round or your personal choice?

[mose]

Great looking Challengers.....the Caddy looks a little too "pimp" for my tastes...but whatever.



On the Challengers though......you would thinkg with all the people they have working for them.....and the money they make......they could come up with a nice looking wheel.

Awesome work on the Challengers, Seen one on the road and it threw me off!

[Pats300zx]

[RitcheyRch]

[Insert usual :bow regading ebpcivicsi `s work here...]



I`d like to kidnap that Cadillac and depimp it ;)



I appreciate what you must`ve gone through with the waterspots, Memphis area water can be really nasty.

[V_Eight]

Off topic, but i`m loving the white Ultima GTR!

[Thomas Dekany]
