What to use for a 2010 Challenger?

[swisstyphoon]

The other day I was braging about my Meguiars products I just bought along with the DA polisher.
So my buddy wanted me to prove how good this Meguiars stuff really is, now I have to detail his Challenger.
The paint dosnt look to bad, it has some swirl marks from washing, but other than that it looks ok.
What would you use to get the best results? I was thinking of using Swirl X with the DA yellow pad, then # 7 show car glaze, and finish with NXT tech wax 2.0?

Sure... nothing wrong with that.

Probably would be good to clay if you have time, and have some UC on hand just in case.

What products do you have?

It really depends on how the products react to the paint of the car. Does the car have minor or heavy swirls? Please use a test spot first before polishing the entire car to see what's the best approach.

Go ahead and try using the SwirlX on a W8207 polishing pad via the G110v2 and see how it works out. If it removes defects to your liking then you're done with the defect removal stage. If the stubborn swirl marks remain, you can step it up to Ultimate Compound via the W8207 polishing pad. What we're trying to do here is use the least aggressive method to get the job done. Once the defect removal stage is completed, you can go ahead and apply Ultimate Polish or a similar product. This product is rich in polishing oils and should make the paint more vibrant. This works better on darker colored cars as well. UP works better than M07 since the Challenger's paint job is base coat/clear coat right? M07 works better on single stage paints. After this, you can go ahead and apply your favorite wax such as the NXT 2.0 you have.

I hope this helps. Good luck and please don't forget to share some pictures!

Hmm.. generally you would upload the pic to a gallery, like your one here. Then use the 'Image" button to insert the gallery link. But the forum was just updated....
