Did my first referral job off the Jeep Cherokee job I did a couple of weeks ago.  That guy's neighbor saw his Cherokee and wanted me to do his truck ASAP.  
 
This wasn't a full correction...Just a clean it up and make it shine job.

It was 5 degrees out when I started and dark when I finished, so unfortunately I don't have any pics outside.  With the age of the truck and the amount of oxidation and defects, it really needed to be compounded, but he wasn't paying for that this time around.  Overall I was pretty pleased with the outcome for being a one step polish and seal job.  That HD Polish is a real treat to work with.  It's quickly becoming a go to polish for me.  This was my first time using the Sonax wheel cleaner......um yeah, that stuff is awesome.
 
Unfortunately I wasn't home when he picked the truck up due to being called out for my regular job, but my wife said he was thrilled.  
 
Turned out great for just one polishing step. 


 


Used to do a ton of those trucks when I first started out in the mid 90s. And I remember how much I hated those three compartment door pockets. :lol:


 


Just a tip, dressing the frame rails behind the rear tires makes a noticeable difference 
 
HD Polish must have some decent bite, those swirl marks looked pretty bad in the before pictures.
