Reflections Detailed - 2000 Jeep Cherokee Full Paint Correction
Hello there. Got this detail from one of my regular customers who wanted to sell the car and get some money for it. He told me to go at it so I did. The car was in horrible shape and several areas needed to be wet sanded but wasn't looking for perfection. I spent a total of 10.5 hours on this detail. After pictures were taking before I applied any dressing to trim, plastic, etc.

Wash with Super Wash N Wax from Extreme
Clay
Hi-Temp Extreme Cut via orange pad / PFW @ 1700 RPM
Meguiars #83 Dual Action/Cleaner Polish via white pad @ 1600 RPM
Optimum Poli-Seal via white pad @ speed 6 on PC
Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax via red pad @ speed 5 on PC
Buffed off / Final wipe down with Optimum Car Wax v2

BEFORE beware, these are bad!

Just wanted to show you a before / after close up. More to come!


AFTER

Huge improvement, any reason you used your PC at speed 5 to apply the wax? Just seems kinda fast for wax.

DJ...nice job! You definitely added a bit of resale value to that Jeep for sure.

Is that your garage or the customer's?

The garage is the customers.



I detailed the Trailblazer but it wasn't nothing special so I don't post those details.

Here is the house.
