Here is my most current project that I worked on last week. It is a 2014 Jeep Wrangler with about 4500 miles on it. This is the third vehicle I have done for this client. Now onto the pictures.

The Cleaning Process

At this point I began the cleaning process on the wheels. This is a picture of the wheel just after spray Omni Clean on the tire.

This is a picture of scrubbing the tire after the Omni Clean dwelled for a few minutes.

After the wheel cleaning process, I proceed to do a foam pre-soak with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Clear mixed w/ Megs Super Degreaser

Paint Correction and Coating Process

After the washing process, the Jeep was pulled in the garage and place on jack stand to remove the wheels

Overall the paint on this was in pretty decent shape. This is a 50/50 shot after FG400 on a Orange light cutting pad w/ my Rupes 15

I then thoroughly cleaned the wheels and tires again before coating the wheels with Americoat and tires with Black Pearl Tire Armour

After finishing the compounding and polishing process, the jeep was pulled outside and rinse thoroughly with the pressure washer

The vehicle was then dried and wiped down with Eraser to prep it for the coating

Thanks for looking.
 
Have fun! These are one of the worst vehicles to work on in my opinion. Lots of tight areas to work in. I used all three of my DA's on this one. My new 2" air DA got a good work out on this one.
