We had the opportunity to perform our work on yet another Challenger Hellcat, this time in Pitch Black! We put together a custom New Car Prep service for this client, which includes a full paint correction, wheels off detail, XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film on the front nose cone and Cquartz Finest to keep everything protected and easy to maintain.
Pre-Inspection & Paint Correction
Most people assume a brand new car will be 100% perfect when they receive it at the dealership, however most often this is not the case. In this photo, you can see just how hazy this Pitch Black paint really is. There is much improvement to be made before its ready for ceramic paint protection!

Here you see we have removed the defects and the paint clarity has increased significantly.

A few more blemishes we found throughout the vehicles paint work. These are sanding marks most likely left over from the factory during production.
