2016 Dodge Hellcat Gets Ultimate New Car Prep

CALL (210) 863-1633

But the car is brand new. Why would I need a detail? What is the Ultimate New Car Prep and why would I need it on the car I just took delivery on?

Those are some of the questions we hope to answer with this article and demonstrate why you might want to consider a Ultimate New Car Prep from Jay’s.



The first thing we do when we get the car delivered is a thorough cleaning on the car including using a clay bar to remove all contaminants from the paint. Although the car may be new, the paint has been collecting contaminants from the time it left the manufacturing facility until they delivered it to you. The time it spent on the dealer lot and the use of dealership wash techniques only make the problem worse. Although the car is new, this new Hellcat will need a lot of attention!

The first thing we take note of after the thorough cleaning is the damage to the paint. This can be swirl marks, paint scuffs of even buffer burns from the dealership preparation of the vehicle. This car had a combination of all of those things as you can see from the pictures below.

After identifying all the issues, we move into the paint correction phase of the Ultimate New Car Prep. As you can see from the picture below, when we are done the paint is swirl and scratch fee and has a very nice gloss.

Now, we move into the paint protection installation. To start, we remove all badging so that we can install the material underneath to avoid any seams. These badges will be replaced once the paint protection installation is complete.

Now, we move into installing the paint protection, or clear bra. This particular vehicle is getting a complete body installation, so we will be covering all body panels. We work meticulously so that each panel is fully protected, but with little to no indication that the material is even there. We do this by proper installation techniques and either the removing of or hiding of any material seams.

Now for the window tint. On this car, we installed Spectra Photosync to give the car a great look and also keep the interior cool and protected. Not all window tint is the same. Make sure you are getting a quality product installed by an experienced technician.

Finally, we move on to the paint, glass and leather protective coating by Cquartz. First, we remove the wheels and coat both the inside and outside surfaces. This will keep the wheel protected from brake dust and make the wheels much easier to keep clean. We also treat the brake calipers while the wheel is off to keep them looking factory fresh and not contaminated with brake dust.

We follow the wheels and brake calipers with a thorough coating of all painted surfaces, the glass and the interior leather surfaces. As you will see in the finished pics below, the end result is a stunning and fully protected car.
