Not much to post with this car, the dealer was told not to touch it any way, but they did wipe off some adhesive residue anyway, so some correction work was needed after all. The vehicle was picked up the night before with 7 miles on it.

This was the worst damage, not sure how they can let a car costing 75K leave the stealership without pointing out that Jeep F**d up during transport.

Only a few full car shots before starting the detail.

Once corrected, polished and Opti Coated, the time was after 10 PM and the garage is just big enough to pull this Jeep in so I was forced to place the camera very close to the vehicle, hence the weird angles. The interior looked very cool, but forgot to take pictures.

Nice Thomas, as always! Now if you only had a bigger garage to get the proper angle so really see some gloss ;) Kidding! Those Jeeps are awesome! I just got rid of mine and I`m waiting for the Hellcat version to come out.

Thank you! I am mobile, so I don`t have much say in the size of the garage.

Unfortunately, quality control doesn`t seem to be at a high enough level. Every jeep I have done had the same issues: body panels not matching up evenly. This model was no different.

PS: I was serious about you producing quality pictures that would match your work. You could certainly afford it. You do it once and I`d guarantee that you`d get hooked.

Thomas. Nice work, I know you have that eye for quality. You picked up on the same thing I did. My buddy has the Hemi jeep and it makes me crazy that the fit and finish of the exterior is so off on such an expensive car.

Nice work and good to see you posting.

Hi Thomas,

Still no word on my zl1 but the jeep looks amazing, I`m a HUGE fan of the optimum no-rinse wash, what a difference!

And these pictures

The 6th original picture is amazing! It almost looks like someone painted that picture. Amazing gloss! Great Job!
