Nice Mike - that's quite the improvement for a one-step. Is that a foam gun or a foam cannon? I wish I could get my gun to foam like that :sosad.

Very nice. Since I own a Liberty I was particularly curious to see how this turned out. One question: Did you take off the spare tire when you did that all?

Thanks for the compliments guys! The foam gun is one that "Justin" was selling. He was the member that was banned from Autopia for selling stuff (I think in particular, the foam gun). I can take more pics of it if you'd like. Anyway, the foam guns is great. I actually over-mixed it. I used 2oz. instead of 1oz. in the 32oz. bottle that came with the foam gun. I have to tell you though, the CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss is the real deal. This will be my go to wash for cars that are receiving an LSP "strip". This stuff foamed like crazy and even in one of the pics you can see that I only used half foam gun bottle.



azenthusiast, I didn't remove the spare tire b/c there was no easy way of taking it off. I could only fit the UDM so far in around the spare tire. A little DG AquaWax took care of the "protection" portion of it since polishing wasn't really an option. Other than that though, no worries.
