    I had a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee to detail today for one of my brother firefighters.



    It had a scratch on the hood caused by someone putting a box on it and dragging it off, and a few door hit scratches in the paintwork.



    I wet sanded the hood scratch and door hits with 2000 grit wet/dry paper, then broke out the pc with the CMA wool pad and Meguiar`s #2 fine cut cleanerand buffed it on 5.



    All I can say is ..

    The scratches are 99% gone from the finish. You would have to look real close to see the remainder. I asked my son if he could find them by looking at the car, he couldn`t see them until I pointed out where they were!



    I buffed the rest of the car with the wool pad and #2, used a polsihing pad with #9 and used the terrycloth bonnet to apply 3 coats of Liquid Glass, followed by a topcoat of S-100 to give the finish a little "warmth".



    I am waiting for the owner to come pick it iup...and I think he will be surprised! :xyxthumbs

    From my original post...



    It had a scratch on the hood caused by someone putting a box on it and dragging it off, and a few door hit scratches in the paintwork.


    I always check out the vehicles that I detail prior to accepting the job. 99.9% of the time, it`s the Client that points out the scratches, chips and other paint defects and ask what can be done about them.



    I inform them of the options, and go from there....
