I can honestly say this is most likely the glossiest vehicle to ever come out of my garage, including mine.

Thanks everyone!

Already booked (edit)
A Red Hellcat Charger, A one-off Yellow BadR/T (finally!), and a repeat SRT Charger for another coat of wax- Heck I only have 2 dates still open for details until the end of August.

This post rocks on three fronts:
1) The quality and quantity of the posted photos. Great photographic abilities and artistic workmanship vehicle detailing-wise.
2) The car itself and its color. The plum crazy color is Fiat-Chrysler of America`s (FCA`s) most unique manufacturer-associated vehicle color (along with Lime Green), not to mention eye-catching.
The Challenger R/T will turn heads by itself: Add the color and it being detailed to concourse-quality levels only enhance the admiration for the vehicle.
3) ALL those Rupes polishers. You have a sizeable investment in polishing equipment, BUT like I say, "There is the right tool for every job." It`s obvious that these tools and your abilities, as verified by the photos, are what place you in an upper echelon of detailers, professional or hobbyist and garner my utmost respect.

There are not enough words or accolades to describe the car or your abilities. I can imagine that the car looks so much better in person that photos really cannot do it justice.
All I can say is "Thanks for sharing them with fellow Autopians."
 
Car Club Business picking up! Nice to see that, congrats. I remember not too long ago you expressed your frustration with people ignoring your abilities and advice but now it`s all happening back to back!
 
Great work man! Love that purple - looks like a million bucks!

Question for you on the PBL coating - any reason why the paint coating and not the surface coating? I`ve used the surface coating a few times, but not the paint-specific stuff.

Thanks...

Paint coating because that`s all I have. I went through 1 bottle of pbl paint coating v1, loved it so bought another bottle. I got, IIRC 9 or 10 coatings out of the 4oz,v1 bottle.

So far I`ve done 6 cars with the v2 bottle and it`s about 1/3 full still. And these are Ron sized applications btw, no skimping out here.
I essentially applied at least two times the recommended amount of product to this car.

I couldn`t imagine an easier coating to use than pbl v2. Cinsider me a fanboy of pbl if you will (except for the paint sealant, which has the pbl looks but fails to live up to the pbl name IMO).

At this point I just stick with what I`m comfortable with. The next coating I try will probably be CSL but man it`s really hard to go away from pbl since I`ve had such good results using it since 2013 or so with v1.
