Sorry to even ask, but I searched and found little. I have to detail one of these this weekend. Any general tips on paint quality, Wrangler specific tips? I appreciate any assistance.

I posted on Meg's site, and have copied my post below. I will preface this by saying that I am not a pro but I enjoy detailing and have been doing it for several years. What I consider LSP ready may not be what many of you consider LSP ready, but I will assert that what I consider LSP ready...

A friend recently purchased one. I will be detailing it for him. It has light to moderate defects. I believe that this is not clearcoated. Anyone ever detail one of these? If so, any suggestions with the PC? I have Menzerna and Meg's products. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ok, so a friend of mine has an older model Yukon that was completely abused by the prior owner. Oxidation, swirls, scratched, etc., etc. to infinity. I knew the job would be rough, and I wasn't planning on charging him, so I had him buy me the 3.5 inch PFW pads and the backing plate with the...

I finally took the plunge and ordered the above after working with regular sized pads for the past 4 years. All I can say is WOW what a difference. I used Menzerna IP on the orange pad on my black G35 on some moderate defects. Two applications and they were absolutely gone. With the old...

Long story short: The managing partner in my office has the above car (black). He, despite my offer to detail it for him, took it to someone who had instilled beautiful holograms last time. I also pointed out the holograms to him last time, but he claimed he did not notice. This time, he...

I was speaking to a colleague at work last week and he received a phone call which apparently told him his car was ready to be picked up. Since it is a 2007 Lexus IS450, I asked him what was wrong with it. He told me he had it detailed for a social event over the weekend because it had some...

Finally had the chance to buy and use the almighty grout sponge! I used it with QEW, one bucket method per spoiledman. I have used QEW with various wash media including microfiber cloths, dreadlock microfiber spong thingamajig, eurow sheepskin mitt, etc. My car was what I would call medium...

I bought a gallon of QEW last year and have about 4/5 left. Is ONR so much better than QEW that it would be worth it to get ONR and not use the QEW? I have been relatively happy with the QEW (I know, that should answer it), but if ONR has some great advantages over QEW, I would be happy to...

The title pretty much says it all. :thx in advance.

Anyone think this is a bad idea? I am familiar with the idea that one shouldn't use an LSP on repaints for 60-90 days. I am just wondering if AW is enough of a sealant that it should not be used. I am comfortable waiting but I am curious about your thoughts...

I had some paintwork done recently through the dealership because of a manufacturing defect with a hood hinge. The damage was to the area where the hood hinge is located and was to the edge of the hood and edge of the fender. Long story short, I got the car back last Tuesday and washed it...

I need some advice. I had some repainting done of the area of the hood and the fender where the hood hinges are located. This was due to a manufacturer's defect of the hinges which caused the hood to scrape the fenders. The work was covered under the warranty. I got the car back yesterday...

As a favor to him, I am quoting his post here: I have a new 07G.. and somehow paint accidentally splattered onto my car.. I have drops of paint on my bumper and one on my hood.. any ideas how to get it off? It was noticed after it was dry and not sure how long its been on there.. I am...

I began using QEW this winter. I have followed the directions and the initial results are great. However, I've noticed that I now get large water spots on the horizontal surfaces of my car that I just don't remember getting before. I don't have access to a camera, but I would describe the...
