Plum Crazy Challenger Hellcat Cquartz Finest Ultimate New Car Protection - Tampa/Sarasota, FL
24
This Challenger SRT Hellcat originally came in for just a clear bra installation. However, once it arrived, it was quite obvious it needed a lot of work to make it look like a brand new car should. There were long scratches down almost the entire length of the front fenders and the entire car had some sort of overspray on it, causing the paint finish to look extremely dull. After many hours of polishing, we were able to make this Plum Crazy Hellcat look better than it rolled off the assembly line! We also protected the entire front end with XPEL Ultimate clear film and coated the entire car with none other than our most exclusive ceramic paint coating, Cquartz Finest!
Pre-Inspection & Paint Correction
One of the biggest issues with the car was the amount of overspray on the paint. This was causing the car to have a very dull paint finish.

This particular car has the factory matte black hood option, so we covered it with Xpel Stealth to retain the matte finish and protect it at the same time. All edges are wrapped for the best appearance.

Now that is just plum crazy 
I wash and wax mine the old fashion way and she is as pretty as any "Cquartz" you ever saw.. I'll keep the $2-3 k and mod her instead.. nobody's ever gonna give "Cquartz" any value when you sell it.. JMHO..
If you prefer to spend your money on "go" rather than "show," that's certainly your prerogative; the sweat equity of traditional washing and waxing is an opportunity cost unless you are someone who enjoys spending the time doing the work yourself.I wash and wax mine the old fashion way and she is as pretty as any "Cquartz" you ever saw..

As for nobody giving CQuartz coatings a value, the precedent on that has already been set by insurance companies; I have personally had two occasions I've been aware of where an insurance provider paid out the value of CQuartz to a client after an accident -- once when the car was a total loss, and once where they paid to have panels re-coated after a collision repair.
No.. I respect your opinion and not taking anything away from the process. but in reality washing and waxing has been a 100+ year staple, and yes I don't trust car washes, Cquartz or not... a scratch is a scratch.. part of owning a nice car is caring for it.. so... do I mind an occasional afternoon wash and sometimes wax?.. not really. If I set my vehicle next to a Cquartz vehicle, and I have, anyone would be hard pressed to see any measurable difference.. again JMHO..
