Default Full Detail For Retail
Feel like posting this up because I feel pretty proud of myself that I was able to come through and pull this through on 2 hours of sleep and a total time allotment of 5 hours...

This is an UBER quick one step correction/decon on a Grand Cherokee with more than 130k on the ticker.

The car was in an exceptionally poor/sorry state when I got my hands on it.
The owner is fixing to sell the car pronto(next few days) and needed it to look presentable.
Luckily my specialty is turnaround details, so I stepped up to the challenge. I figured, HELL who needs a day off anyways lol?

Procedure was:

  • Megs Shampoo/Degreaser cut 4:1
  • Eagles One Ph Neutral Aluminum Wheel Cleaner
  • Cheapass Mothers Clay + water for lube(more bite)
  • Megs M105 on LC PFW(for the tough spots i.e. headlamps)
  • Megs M105 on LC Gray Foam(amazing combo for a QUICK 65~70% correction)
  • Collinite 845
  • Various brushes/rags obviously...
Please excuse the crappy iPhone 4 pics, I don't like to take a lot of pics when I'm being rushed...

How the car came to me...









Dirty Ass wheels...


Lets get cleaning...


Dont forget the little spots(this muck would NOT come off!!!)


Ehh... Better...


Post wash, during clay...








Headlight before:


After wetsand/buff:


Lets get the M105




Some wetsanding(tough to see) scratch removal in progress...


SN95 bumpers make for GREAT detailing caddies lol...


I even had to break out a nice Madura that one of the Editors at Cigar Aficionado gave me last week for fixing his ACL issues lol...


OK, I made that look easy lol..


Some afters. Again kinda crappy as the iPhone4's HDR setting chops up the sharpness something aweful...












That is all lol...

Yep I know.

They're were too far gone to really use any tire shine on them(a lot worse in person than pics) So we chose to show the truck for what it was...

Thanks for the input though, I thought about doing that...

I have lots.

The choice pads for finishing are the 3M Ultrafina's. I also have some Lake Country pads for everyday crap like this...
I try to keep the sized to 5~6", more versatile that way.

The Lake Country PFW is awesome, just have to be careful with it(like any wool) on a rotary. I've nearly finished down LSP ready with them on many occasions, so they can be a MEAN pad when you get the hang of them.

I have really soft white pads to apply glaze, I seldom end up needing any glaze after my details however, usually try to get it into the 90+% correction rate so glaze snit a must. I have some really nice 3M Machine Glaze for my dads van though(Black), VERY good stuff...

Shame you're not closer. I usually have a few cars detailed a week. I have a good guy right now, but It's nice to keep everything "in the family". Used car details are a little different from show car details, but looking at this Jeep, it seems like you're pretty versatile.

Thanks very much for the recognition.

Unfortunately I do this "for kicks" lol. And extra dough...

I'm an MIS manager for Wine Spectator Magazine by day haha, so I can't really "play" with cars whenever I want.
I actually sometimes do what you do(sort of) but mostly with salvage cars/overseas deals.
You definitely got some sick cars, good eye/knowing when to pull the trigger...

hey man that looks great. Some a$$ side swiped my grandpas '10 liberty last night or this morning and left mirror scratch marks and few to the metal marks from driver side door to back door. I hate where I live and street parking. I know I can buff some of it out....any idea what do with the rest? Painting it will be too much since its a metal flakey paint
