Well I've been on and off of here for years now and never actually posted, so I figured I would post a few pictures of a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee I did last week. I do this on the side here and there, but have been at it for about 10 years so I share the same love of the "hobby" as everyone else here.:rockon
Overall, the vehicle was in decent condition and the owner's request was to avoid compounding while attempting to achieve a flawless finish. I decided PF2500 would be the best bet, but couldn't be for sure until I did some test spots. He wanted OC 2.0, so I knew I had to be spot-on or risk sealing in the imperfections.
Without anything else from me, here's the quick steps:
Foamed with a mix of Adam's wash and Chemical Guys APC
Rinsed and sponge washed with Adam's wash
Wheels cleaned with Sonax and various brushes
Engine bay cleaning with P21S Total Auto Wash and various brushes
Auto Finesse Iron Out
Nanoskin Autoscrub
Re-washed the whole vehicle
Dried, all plastic taped up, plates removed, bug shield removed
Windshield protected with Diamondite Shield
Exhaust tips polished with Griot's metal polish and #0000 steel wool
Menzerna PF2500 with white LC Constant Pressure 5.5" pads on GG DA
IPA wipe down, then apply OC 2.0
I found the Menz PF2500 and white pad to be a great combo on this paint. It was fairly soft, so I had to perform very deliberate movements on the last two or three passes I did in order to ensure I avoided any holograms on this paint.
Before shots:
(All of the pics open in another window, then can be clicked on again for the full sized picture)
All cleaned, taped, and ready for some closer inspection
I tried Megs M205 on another test spot, but forgot to take a pic. This is Menz PF2500, and it came out flawless.
And some shots during the correction
Passenger side door before correction
Same door after
And the after shots:
Thanks for looking!
