Grand Cherokee project...

Clean Dean

Keep it clean !!!
The owner of this daily driver hardly ever even washes her !!! I did not think the chrome wheels could even come back as well as they did. The Black Metalic Paint really cleaned up nice with Meg's Speed Glaze after a thorough clay and wash. I sealed her with Poorboys EX.



I spent about 25 minutes on the wheels and was forced to use AM's Spoke to bring them back !!!



The interior was pretty bad, and the air compressor was working overtime to get all the crud out of the interior crevices.



Not even close to the worst I have seen, but a project none the less. Enjoy...

"WOW !!! The car looks LIKE NEW !!!" :woot:



nice job cleaning it up. it's hard to believe that is the same interior, you sure cleaned it up to LIKE NEW! :bow
 
Wow!! Looks AWESOME!!!! That car jeep was a complete disaster. How can someone drive around in that?



That is a contestant for the extreme contest for sure.



How does it compare to the navigator? ;)

No kidding--I can sort of understand how people don't care about the outside of their vehicle, but that interior was deeesgusting.



I wipe off the Taco Bell seat when I'm wearing Carhartts. I can't imagine getting in that Jeep wearing a suit:nono



Great work!

This GC was like spring training !!! I have been detailing pristine collectibles and high end resale cars all winter. My soccer mom and SUV (cafeteria on wheels) customers have started calling this week for their semi-annual detail.



Give me strength !!!



That Navigator is still my biggest nightmare, but their have been a few competitors that strived to meet that sub-standard level of disgust !!!:D

Eh... I've still got a month before the wave hits. The temperatures are still WAY too cold for me to be willing to start for the season.



My rule is the first weekend I can, I detail both of the vehicles that reside at my house, and do the "spring cleaning" to the garage (pull everything off the walls, vacuum/hose down/scrub everything, powerwash the floor and the rubber mat, reorganize my supplies and make sure all the towels and applicators are clean and ready to go.) -- after my vehicles and garage are taken care of (so I can be presentable to customers) then I start taking appointments.

That's even worse than the RX300 I did today!



Great job on the interior and wheels especially. I'm with the others, I have no idea how people can let their vehicles get so nasty.
 
Dean,



That is a great job on the interior, I mean a great transformation:xyxthumbs



By the way,,,,I will send your Optimum Car Wax off tomorrow and also a sample of the Optimum Car Polish. I have been wainting until the polish came in so I could send both at the same time.



By the way...shoot me your mailing address again in a PM....and sorry I did not call you today, was busy doing taxes and running some errands. I'll call you tomorrow.

werd. I don't even know HOW people make a mess like that. Only person who's interior I've seen worse than that was a guy who is a chain smoker.. That one I understand because he just threw the cigarette butts where ever a spot was. Lucky he didn't set the interior on fire....
 
what is AM Spoke? Where can I get some? I have a coworker with a sunfire with chrome wheels, and they look worse than that. He has already requested my services for once it gets warmer here. . .



Awesome job , BTW. . .
 
Made by Auto Magic and is HF Acid based. You must use care when using this product. Heavy rubber gloves, goggles, and a N95 mask is appropriate when using. Use in a well ventilated area, and never let is sit long enough to dry on a wheel.



Never use on aluminum or magnesium wheels.
 
How did you get all the dirt out from around the shifters? Just blow it out with the compressor? Seems like just using a MF with 303 or armor all or whatever on it wouldnt get it that clean.



Awesome transformation though

thanks for the info. wher ecan i get it and where are N95 masks available at? The wheels on this sunfire are gross and will need something harsh to clean them. .
 
Great work!



I agree, my car is nasty right now. It was nice today but my fiance wanted to go house hunting so I didnt have the chance to get the car cleaned up. I'm going to take an afternoon off next week and do it if the weather stays nice.



Anyways I don't see how cars get that dirty either. I know people who never wash/vacuum their cars and they don't get like that. That console on the GC seems to be a magnet for that kind of grime though.
