My friend asked me to do some work on his Wrangler and get it nice and shiny. The car sits outside 24/7 and may have been washed less than 5x since new, certainly not in the last few years.
I had to do this in 3 stages, due to limited time on his end. First I prepped the car, then polished, then went back and did a final wash and detail (no pictures). I'll break down this post into those stages
How it arrived:
Prep:
- Washed with CG Citrus wash and gloss
- Rims/tires cleaned with Griots HD Wheel Cleaner
- Clayed with Opti-Clay
- Paint decontaminated with Iron-X
- Tar removed with Tar-X
- "Black" plastics made black again with Forever Black trim dye
Done:
Polish:
- GG6 with Blackfire SRC Compound and orange LC pad. I used Uber also, but it dusted just a little and I knew SRC never dusted on me.
- Wipe down with Eraser
- Opti-Coat
After Opti-Coat:
