These were two cars I did back during the summer that I had forgotten I had taken pictures of. I was a little pressed for time so I didn’t have any pictures of the polishing work. Both cars got a strip wash, iron cut, clay, and a one step polish.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

The rain slacked up long enough for me to get the wash done.

Sonax was pulling out all the iron particles from these huge brakes.

After the polishing was completed and waxed with Adam's Americana Wax.

This car wasn’t terribly dirty when it arrived.

There were a good amount of contaminants in the paint.

They both look great, would love to have seen some polishing before/afters as well.
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Looking good! What do you think of the Adams waxes?

To be completely honest, I bought the Adam's Patriot Wax because it came in a CNC machined container that happens to be about the coolest thing I have ever seen! However, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and the results I got from the Patriot. As far as protection goes, their waxes bead water as well as anything else on the market and a little wax goes a long way. I had Adam's Americana Wax that I put one thin coat on an Audi that sat outside in the cold and rain, and it was still beading water pretty well around 3 or 4 months later.

What polish was used?

I believe I used Menzerna SF4000 on a light polishing pad. Neither of the cars were in terrible condition and that combination took care of pretty much everything.

Holy foam cannon !!! What were you using for that? What soap?

I was using Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss. I usually put about 2-4 oz in the foam cannon to strip any existing wax or sealant. I was only using a 1500 psi pressure washer and it puts out some pretty thick foam. Not to mention, the soap itself is very slick.
