i spent 5 evenings restoring the paint on my Jeep, it was absoutley horrible and im ashamed I let it get that bad. I started out with a hand wash and dry, claybar, and then moved onto the porter cable with a heavy cut, cleaner polish with light cut, machine glaze, and finally wax and buff. I also did the interior.

As you can see there were scratches, heavy to light and CRAZY SWIRLS!!!

I used a PC with orange white and grey pads with Meg's Mirror Glaze products.





This was a my first time using the PC but i couldnt be happier with the results. Here are the before and after pictures!!!

Nice Job! You did a really good job on those scratches. If you dont mind, could you tell us which mirror glaze products you used and your process?
 
Wow, good job correcting with your PC!



What was the cause of those aggressive looking scratches? bushes/tree branches??
 
Very nice correction !!

Very very very very very nice JGC SRT-8 !

Oh god, i want one so bad ! LOL



:ca
 
Thanks guys!!

The cause of the scratches was that i was using a MF mitt which had one of those plastic tag attachers stuck within it.. i didnt find it untill a few washes.. dumb dumb dumb i know...



Process

Alrite i started off with a wash/dry

Clayed with Mothers kit

PC with orange pad and Meg's #4 (i know its not the optimal choice but its the only one with a heavy cut that i could get local, ended up working good!)

Followed with white pad and meg's 83

followed that with meg's white pad and megs 3

meg's gold class wax applied with pc and grey pad

removed by hand with MF towels.
 
Great correction mate!

There was a time I dreamed about a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I still think it's a great car, and especially the SRT8:xyxthumbs!
 
I keep coming back to this thread to look at the pics! Still can't believe how beat up the Jeep was before! Haha



Great work.
