O.C.Detailing and Hill City Auto Detail - 2006 Jeep Compass

[adrock2003]

So this is my neighbor's 2006 Jeep Compass. My neighbor just got this lil car recently after an unfortunate accident that totalled his Volvo Wagon (No one was hurt.). He called and scheduling him in was extremely difficult as the weather wasn't cooperating and his and his wife's schedules didn't allow for us to take it during the week. So after 2 reschedules, I finally broke down and found a garage for John and I to work in to knock this puppy out. Though we're HUGELY appreciative of having permission to work in the garage, the lighting was so bad that we had to have a super-bright LED flashlight each to constantly check our work for the entire detail. This was an exterior-ONLY detail. On with the Process and pics.

PROCESS:

- Washed via ONR and dried with Absorber
- Clayed with Meg's Mild Clay bar and Meg's Last Touch as lube.
- Wheels and tires cleaned with light degreaser/Meg's Gold Class shampoo and warm water and aggitated with several wheel brushes, twice, as I wasn't satisfied the with the first attempt.
- Tires dressed with Meg's Endurance Tire Gel
- Correction aquired via M205 on LC Hydro-tech Tangerine 6.5" pads on Griot's and Flex DAs.
- LSP was Meg's Paint Reconditioning Cream applied via LC Red CCS no-cut 6.5" pad on Griot's Garage DA machine.

Now ON TO THE PICS!!!!

BEFORES:





This is so just like a Jeep, isn't it?
















A few flash pics to show the swirls since the sun was being an a'hole and not coming out...






This is the last before pic as I was kind of in a hurry...sorry all.

Now, THE AFTERS! The next day since the sun was LONG GONE after we finished. Sorry for no sun again...we just missed it.





Reflections baby!!!


Same pic without the flash.






Couple RIDs in the hood we couldn't get out, but the power lines look KEWL!




More flash pics...damn you sun, damn you all to hell.








My favorite pic. The reflection is like a mirror!


Everyone together now, say "Hiya Adam (Adrock2003)!!! /wave"








Couple more RIDs...I wish I could get them all, but the lighting killed us on this one.




AND the last pic. Sorry for the small number of pics. More next time and HOPEFULLY more sun and/or better lighting pics.


Thanks for looking everyone.

Nice job, how easy/hard was it to work with that paint?

[adrock2003]

It was pretty easy actually. It marred fairly easily, but also correct perfectly with the Meg's PRC on LC Red CCS pad after the initial correction. Thanks for the kind words.
