Here in Atlanta it was 64 degrees out this AM...

Here was my process:
Foam Cannon with DP's Foam
Wash with CG Citrus Clear
P21 for the wheels
Megs All Purpose for the underneath and tires

Did some polishing with CG Vertua Bond 408
Coat of CG Blacklight
Coat of CG Lava

UTTG - The plastic parts
Opti-Bond - the tires

Windows were cleaned with CG Glassworks with Pom

Here I start off using my new pressure washer and foam cannon that I got for Christmas!

Here is the Jeep after one coat of CG Blacklight - interesting product. I really like what it looked like after one coat of it...I might need to pick up some V7

Nice job. Is there a learning curve to applying wax other then applying thin?
 
:dblthumb2: welcome to the jeep cult. looks outstanding! did you notice the two hidden easter eggs by now?

1. the jeep grille on the windshield (on top,behind the rear view mirror)
2. little jeep rock crawling in the corner of the windshield. (passenger side)

I like there products. Do not know if I am crazy about the Glassworkz - lots of streaking, just did not seem I could get them cleaned on the first pass. Jury is out still on it...

It was really different - when I first put the pad in to get some - it was funny! It is hard to explain, just not what to I expected!

Yeah, to apply thin seemed tougher then other waxes. Also, it was tough to see in my garage on a black car. I think in some spots I applied too much, I came back after I wiped everything down and there was still a little film in spots that I re-wiped off. My wife's to Grand Cherokee is Candy Red, I am going to use it on there. I like the Blacklight on their by itself, but wanted to use the Lava...

Nice Jeep...now that you have a coat of wax its time to drive it through some mud.
 
Black is beautiful, especially when its someone elses to take care of, LOL! Looks like your off to a good start and from what I see, your all set to keep up/maintain that black hue, how much orange peel does it have?
 
BEAUTIFUL Jeep!! Congrats man!! What kind of foam cannon do you have?

oops...I didn't see hymato's question but thats funny.
 
Always happy to see another jeeper! I'm also a jeep forum regular! looks good man! Here's my 06 unlimited.

Just put a new top on and a new 2" shock/springs lift!
 
Looks great, I like the way the CG turned out!

[Good news for me since I just ordered the Black Light/Pete's 53/V7 combo for my black Civic lol]

Any tips for the Black Light?
 
Did you do the trim with UTTG before doing the blacklight?

Might consider it for future details since blacklight stains trim. Having some UTTG on there beforehand might help prevent the staining if you accidentally hit it.

Blacklight on its own is pretty glossy. The fact that you can top it after 15 minutes is also a plus.
