Mirror Reflections Auto Spa doing paint correction on Grand Cherokee

[Rod73]

This is a repeat customer of mine, the owner of the Green Mustang. This time it would be his wife`s vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. He told me about the dealership prepping the vehicle and then coming to me, so yes it is Menzerna time.

I uploaded the video of this project here

Very light swirl to moderate swirls became revealed as medium and in some places heavy swirls after the claybar removed the fillers.


I decided to stick to my game plan of SF3800 on a light polishing Rupes pad and just polish a second time if I am not satisfied which worked out well. I made an exception for the area you see pretty marred and the bumper; using FG400 with a medium heavy cut pad (Green) and then finishing with SF3800.



Several areas had very deep RIDS. My priority in all of those situations upon visual inspection was to minimize based upon its depth and paint thickness.

I attacked these with my Porter Cable and 3inch Orange LC Pads with FG400.



We were both very pleasantly surprised with how close I came to making them invisible.




The plastic stainless trim was very heavily oxidized and dull looking. Klasse by hand worked really well.
