Client wanted some bush scratches removed. This Jeep is used the way a Jeep is meant to be used.
This thing looked like it came from hell and back and back to hell and sort of stayed there for a bit and then came back.
Here was the process:
1) Wash with ONR and pre-soaked each panel with ONR QD.
2) Cleaned wheels, wells and tires with APC+, ONR and brushes
3) Clayed the entire car with ONR at Clay Lube ratio
4) Tried different pads and products until finally using 2 different methods for the car.
4a) The panels in the sun got D300 with an LC 5.5" Orange pad at speed 5 while areas in the shade got D300 with 5.5" microfiber cutting disk. 4b) Smaller areas got D300 with a W7204 cutting pad.
5) The paint was left a little hazed and the microfiber disks don't play well with the heat. Because of all the small areas, I went with D301 on a W9204 pad for the whole car. It didn't pay to switch backing plates.
6) Dressed all trim (except roof) with Ultimate Protectant.
6a) Dressed roof with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1
7) Dressed wells with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1
8) Dressed tires with CroftgateUSA Tire Shine. He wanted something matte and this is the most matte product I have. Probably should have given Hyper-Dressing at 4:1 a shot in hindsight.
9) Dressed the roof with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1
Enough typing.....onto the pictures!

Let me just say that working on a hot black car in the sun is hard enough when not during pollen season. But, during......................................it was not fun when the wind would blow a layer of pollen across the entire car 50,000 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, the car in the corner of the last pic was washed with ONR yesterday and look at all the pollen.
Thanks for looking!
