Thorsager Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 We just took delivery of our Hellcat this week. It is Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl 6 speed manual. Today after work I was able to wash it for the first time. I am up to 4 buckets to wash the car. 2 for the paint, 1 for just the wheels, and 1 for the tires and wheel wells. I was getting a lot of grit at the bottom of the wheel bucket that is the reason for the extra bucket. I only had time to wash it. Due to my work schedule I will have to do this detail in segments over the next few days. I am now a believer in the foam gun with the new shampoo. Since the car was made just 2 1/2 weeks ago and shipped quickly I thought maybe I did not have to clay it. If you can see in the picture I did find spots of rail dust. It did take a train from Brampton, Ontario to Niagara Falls, NY. I will be claying tomorrow before work. The spoiler is a matte black. I'm thinking of using Quick Sealant? I have used this on matte wheels before. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm using Quick Sealant on the wheels, lights, and trim. For the paint the plan is to use the Liquid Paint Sealant then a coat of Patriot Wax. I will dress the plastic parts in the engine with the In and Out Spray. The last picture was taken at our first cruise-in of the season last night. rwisejr, Junior, doombert and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nice, nice ride. They don't look like they'll do much when you just look at the outside, but once you get on that throttle you can kiss most cars bye bye. Congrats on getting one!

Thorsager Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Nice car!!!!! I gave up on getting one. Got around by a couple of dealers and refuse to pay 15k over msrp!!!! Going to settle for a SRT 392. I wish you could have got one. 2016 maybe? We went to our small local dealership where our family has bought a lot of cars from. They had delivered one already in December. The dealer thinks he got a second allocation because he sold all of his Challengers FCA gave him plus he dealer traded for two more. In addition, both mine and the previous Hellcat were sold at MSRP. Also, I ordered a manual which may have been easier to build.

MattieDSC Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Awesome car. Just something I've heard may not be true but if the car is really that new I wouldn't seal it. The paint needs 90-120 day to gas-off the solvents in the paint. I believe Larry from Ammo NYC just touched on this in his last youtube video. Maybe someone who knows more than me will shoot me down or confirm just trying to keep that car looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars from the factory are usually baked so that they're cured already. Thorsager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorsager Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 I had a question on how to protect the flat black spoiler. I decided to do a test area underneath the spoiler with some Adams Quick Sealant. It looked good so I did the whole spoiler. The finish still looks flat once again another reason why the Quick Sealant is my favorite Adams product! Tonight, time permitting, I will pull the wheels and seal them.
