04 Metallic Grand Cherokee...long

[03k20a2]

well since i usually dont do cars on sundays, i figured i would do it for my aunt. she had a baby a year ago and she told me that she hasnt had any time to clean her car, she usually keeps it clean. she said that she has been taking to the car wash for the past 2 years every other week. i knew right there i was in for it. it was a very long, hot, grueling day. the paint on this car was a black metallic and it sure was lacking that pop. the weird thing was that under the halogens, the paint looked perfect but this was not the case. ill let the pics do the rest

Thanks for looking - comments/questions welcomed!!!



sorry for the lack of sun shots, the sun was peeking in and out and like i said earlier, the halogens did not work with this color

Nice work, it looks great! I love the way teh wet look tyres and wheels match the paintwork!



Keep this updated with durability. UPP *should not* be compatible with oil based glazed, it will be good to see how it works out.

Sweet looking overland. I really wanted one of those Jeeps before I got my Jeep. Has a great 4x4 system and a good engine.

i have always used RMG w/ UPP and never had a problem with durability. ill get about 3-4 months a good protection with just one coat

That`s a very drastical change. Love the depth and clarity of the paint!

OH! Thats much better luck then i have had. I loved the original and im a BIG 4* fan but couldent get more then 6 weeks with the old UPP with just normal prep. I tried 7 beneth, seemed to upset it.



Used Amigo and it went up to about 6 weeks.



I have the Polycharged version on order, i cant wait!
