Default It's all in the details

Just painted the door hinge bolts on my Challenger.....wow what a difference...They had been left "natual" by the factory and they really stood out, not now. Don't know what the impact is on other colors, but with black the difference is huge. I highly recommend taking a few minutes and doing this, as it makes for a "more finished, richer" look. I remember a couple of members mentioning this a while back, and trust me it's worth doing.............
What other "low buck" things are you guys doing out there to detail your cars....
Remember, when detailing...........it's the little things that count.......

Yes, I did that about three weeks ago. Also make sure you covered the exposed shank of the bolts that hold the rear deck spoiler in place. Also there are several exposed bolt shanks under the hood.

Also under the hood you will find one of two wire bundle hold downs that are not attached and can be carefully cut of. Again making for a much cleaner look. I have also put satin finish covers on the bolt heads for the thermostat and the hood attachment bolts.

Correct me if I am wrong...but I think RRUNNER is trying to make a point................
I was hoping to check out your car (Paladin06) at the Scottsdale show. Perhaps at a later date.
I to found the rear spoiler bolts, etc........now it has a finished look.............

Yea, I know.

I was headed to the show when the sand storm blew in. CRUSH does not do rain, snow, ice, mud or sand storms. It's clear blue and 22 or not at all.

While you're looking at the spoiler bolts, might want to add silicone around the holes. These things tend to leak normally. We can't really say with challengers since all the cars are new and it normally shows up after years but it won't hurt.
