Had a friend of one of my cousin's bring me her 09 Jeep Wrangler yesterday. I was warned about how nuts she is about her Wrangler by my cousin and by the customer lol. She said she needed to trust somebody with it and decided to give me a shot. I didn't get any details on how she washes it, but she did tell me it's never been polished before, so all in all it wasn't in too bad of shape especially for being black.
Products/processes used:
ONR Wash
Chemical Guys Diablo gel and Opti-Clean for wheels, tires, and wheel wells
Nano Skin fine prep towel (w/ONR for lube)
HD Polish via Rupes w/tangerine pad
Opti-Seal on paint and wheels
Ultima trim and tire guard for black plastics
Chemical Guys VRP for tires
Inside cleaned w/Opti-Clean
Stoners for windows
Before Pics:























Some close ups of the finish under the LED lights. I was surprised these weren't more noticeable outside under the sun:



A couple 50/50's:

Owner was thrilled when she picked it up. She's going to be bringing me her daily driver (Dodge Dart) and she's sending both of her kids to me.
