Hi guys,

I have not been active on the forum but that all changed a week ago when my wife bought a new 2014 Bright White Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland :xyxthumbs:.

We had been wanting this SUV for the past 2 yrs but held because of bad timing.

When we bought the SUV I told the dealership to not touch the car. To my surprised they listened because they pointed to a new car that had just rolled in. This car was fresh off the delivery truck and still had the plastic on the wheels and all interior. We checked the mileage and saw 3 miles! I quickly took it home and placed an order for Cquartz and Opt-Coat from Autogeek.

Here are some so/so pics using my iphone. The interior is really nice, we went with a bright white color and tan interior because my black on black 2005 infiniti G35 taught me a lesson. I did not want another black vehicle, that would be murder, especially out here in Palm Springs CA, where summer temps can reach 125F.

Also, I did not know CarPro released Cquartz Finest, I would have tried to get my hands on that even though I am a weekend warrior. Does Carpro let you sign a waiver to buy Cquartz Finest? I know Opti-Coat was doing this when they first released their Opti-Coat product. I would much preferred to use CQ Finest, instead I opted for a double coat of Cquartz.

Wash: 2 Bucket+CarPro Wool Mitt+ CG W&C+Iron X
Polish: Menzerna PO 85rd on LC Gray Pad
Paint Prep: CarPro Eraser (smells great and works really good)
Protection: Cquartz
Wheels: Opticoat 2.0 and Optimum Tire Gel for Tires

PICS
Fresh off the Chrysler Lot to my house

Me taking the plastic wrapping, car still smells like new, leather fresh!

Thanks guys, I like the restyle too. The interior is much improved as well.
 
I love my 2012 Black Grand Cherokee. I really like the white though. Wish I would have been more patient and gotten an overland instead of the limited. All the plastic trim is a pain to keep nice. Car looks amazing, great job. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
 
I love those jeeps!

I saw one in a parking lot once and noticed a small camera looking thing in the middle bottom part of the front bumper. What's that?

It's a sensor for the adaptive cruise control and braking alert system.
 
Yup hes right I believe the Summit model has that camera/sensor The Overland does not come with that. Overland does have rear view camera and park sense (basically alerts you when you are backing out and too close to an object.)
 
I have it on mine. It wasn't an option I was really interested in, but after using it for awhile I've started to like it. On long trips you turn it on and set the max speed for your cruise control, then the sensor starts scanning continuously for cars ahead of you. If you come up behind a car the jeep automatically applies the brakes as necessary and starts following the car at a preset distance which you set while parked at an earlier time. It will bring you to a dead stop if need be. It took awhile to get used to the feeling of letting go of some control.
 
That is a cool feature, I liked the park alarm but that adaptive cruise control sounds really nice. I wish the Overland did have those Harmon Kardon speakers the Summit has. It seems to be a bit lacking in the stereo dept.
