My neighbor always comments on how well I take care of my trucks so he asked me to detail his wife's 2007 Hemi Charger R/T. Paint was a mess, the front fascia is bad from the bugs, too deep to fix with the tools I have but I took a crack at it. Took me 9 hours to get it done though.

Heres just a few of my weapons

The car...

This was the worst part, she ran down the side of their garage and swapped paint. This took some time and a heavy compound to get off.

Pulled the wheels to get in the wheel wells, they were caked with some kind of rusty crud, was a bitch to get off.

Here are the afters. Good thorough interior scrub down, the leather was really dirty, the black carpets were really bad, she cleaned up nice though.

Exterior after. Wash, claybar, rubbed out a few spots, polish the whole car then wax. Overall it came out well, she was very happy.

Thanks! My truck gets pretty nasty in the winter but because I use good wax and I keep up on it during the spring and summer its usually pretty easy to clean up in the spring. Im quite sure this car has never had a coat of wax ever. They didnt remember the last time it was washed. lol
