BLACK JEEP LIBERTY 2006

So, I was aking to gives this Jeep a second life and I think it's well done! By the way, working 9 hours outside with a sun burning you and making the car panel hot is very hard! I had to drink like 3 liters of water and needed to work with smaller area than I usually do because the polish get dry faster.

Washing
Clay Bar Riccardo
SSR2.5 Orange pad
SSR2 green coarse pas
SSR2 white pad
Pinnacle Souveran wax
Trim restorer
Glass polishing system with wool pad
4x Aquapel rain repellant
rubber protector
Metal polish and wheel sealant on wheels



So, I started washing that baby. pretty dirty if you ask me haha!






Tires/ Wheel:

Take a look at the rubber turning orange and chrome is dull

After, you have a shiny tire wheel combo and protected with a coat of wheel sealant


Trim restorer: I got my hand on a special treatment that last 2-3 years instead of siliconne fade2black or dying product. See by yourself!

Notice the handle, dull,grey, almost white on some spot:

After:*tu* Black again like it should be!






After a 3-step polishing. none of theses big scratches were still there on the paint :

****, I love this shot!! Notice the wetness and gloss, it's beautiful!







There's still a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of scratches but with such a wetness, you can't find them without putting a flash and looking for them!:bigup: I would say approx. 95% correction.



Thanks for looking.
See ya!

This week-end, I was doing 2 cars for a couple but see how cute they are : BLACK Murano 2004 ( the boss) and a BLACK celica 2004 ( lady). See, how cute it's lol!

Here's the treatment I did for a total of 7 hours for this car.

Engine: Degreaser,mini-brush,plastic protector



Tadam!



3 step headlight polishing: 3 different compound + 3 different pad + a sealant to protect them from future yellowish


A bit better no !??*tu*



Special favor: Taking off the decal:


After removing the decal without scrathing the car and take off the glue, You can still see the ugly mark of the decal:

Forgot to take a close-up pic but I swear you couldn't say a sticker was there before


Another favor; removing the RDS on the rear bumper So, a good 3-step polishing was needed.

Before:

With flash, it show more but still a lot less than before!

But see, how, with no flash, the result is almost perfect!



The real job, 1 step polishing It's very hard to do a 1-step on a black because the risk of Holograms is very high. So, I had to take a less abrasive pad to get a good correction with great reflection without having holograms

One shot 50/50.


After shot:






Thanks for looking!
