First off, you all are going to frown when I say I have no befores..... I worked 12 hours last night and picked this Jeep up on my home from work this morning then I got me a catnap. I woke up around 12:30 and started piddling' around it.....
Body - DP 4 in 1 Rinse less - Pretty much just washed the whole vehicle then dried once I was done. 10 min tops. *white/yellow Schmitt. Then clayed with MEGS over the counter clay and used their QD as lubricant.
Wheels - DP 4 in 1 had a little left over and then used Simple Green on the tires and wheels. *black Schmitt
Top - 303 cleaner and 303 convertible top protectant - *black Schmitt
Next I moved onto the interior. It got a quick vac and wipe down with Megs interior cleaner and followed that with AIM vinyl and leather treatment. Stoner IG was used on the windows and plastic windows.
Now we pulled her in the garage and shut the door and flipped off the lights
:eek:
I pulled out the halogens and said oh crap!!! I got to have this thing back by 5 and it was 1:30. Swirl patrol needed to pull this thing off the road!!! Remember I'm fast on some cars, but this was my first jeep so I had to tape rubber flares off and the top to keep from hitting it with the buffing pad.
Pinnacle ASR - This was the first real time I've ever used this product since the Twins went on sale about 3-4 weeks ago. I've read about Justin's experiences and couldn't believe the green JAG and the way it came out, so I said I'm going to put it on the line. It went on very well and by using the orange edge 2k waffle to start, I immediately discovered and achieved results. This product has a long work time at slow speed so most of the time I run 5.5 to 6 on the PC overlapping all the time. After I finished the complete body I pulled it out into the sun. WHEW did it shine with no fine swirls or spider webs. I was really honestly impressed! This is really easy, anyone can achieve these results; I mean take your time and review your work by wiping residual off and correcting areas you moved to fast on.
Pinnacle AFP - I was almost tempted to step on into the LSP but I said I'm making good time let’s throw the AFP on. For anyone looking to purchase this combo you are heading in the right direction!! The dark blue just became darker, wetter and deeper :D I honestly can say this polish went on like butter and dried fairly quickly. No dusting from any of the Pinnacle twins as of yet so this is also a plus.
Pinnacle Liquid Souveran - Everyone knows the rep behind this so no need to brag. I enjoyed this detail more after the results started to appear. To be honest I really dreaded it more than anything. The Jeep body is so hard to work with, but yet so small. It's deceiving, but in the future I will charge different for this type vehicle. The pictures speak for themselves. The owner was extremely happy and I have his F-250 to do next, so the details must go on............
Ok here are some answers to few Q's that may chime in. The chrome grille section thats missing was stolen??? The hub caps have chrome flaking off and the rust has completly started to show.....
