  • Wrangler, Liberty

    2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited,

    This was a wholesale job I did for a current client. I am doing a small fleet at a set price, this Wrangler was the first. The truck was trashed as well but I did not manage to get before shots. All the trim was faded & the paint was not even white from never being washed in the last couple years.


    Interior.

    Vacumm.
    Vinyl cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner & hot water mix.
    Carpet spot treated with 3D Carpet Shampoo.
    Jambs washed with 3D Orange Degreaser 4:1 & ONR.
    Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
    3D Odor Eliminator.





    Exterior:

    Pressure washed.
    3D Orange Degreased 10:1 applied to paint, hinges, & crevices.
    Tires/wells degreased with 3D Yellow Degreaser 4:1.
    Washed with 3D Wash & Wax.
    Clayed with Meguiars mild clay while washing.
    Sealed with Opti-Seal.
    Trim reconditioned with 3D Trim Care Protectant & All Season Dressing.
    Tires dressed with 3D Ultra Thick Protectant.







    =====================================================


    2011 Jeep Liberty

    This was just another express detail from a couple of new clients.

    Washed with 3D Wash & Wax.
    Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax applied to paint.
    Vacumm/wipe down interior & jambs.
    Clean glass.
    Tires dressed with 3D Ultra Thick Protectant.
    3D Air Freshener applied.

    Nicely done, as always Nick!!! Those cars look like new!

    That black Jeep looks amazing with just the X-press synthetic spray wax. I think that it made the car shine because the car's relatively new and contaminant free. Do you think the spray wax will work good when you don't clay/clean the paint like what you did to the black Jeep?

      Thanks Marco.

      I like to use the X-Press Spray Wax while drying with Water Magnets.

      I think it still adds something to a daily driven & mildly contaminated vehicle, especially silver or light metallic colors.

      Obviously you should always clay before using any spray or liquid wax but for car washes & express details its about running a business & making money vs giving the car what it really needs. Thats what a detail is for.

      I also like to prime the Water Magnet with the spray wax before using it to dry the vehicle, I feel it dries better & more evenly.

          Amazing what a wash/ clay/ wax can do to refine paint surface.

          Great work, Nick, as always.

              Good job cleaning them up. Like Meguiar's, 3D makes some fine products as well.

                Thanks everyone.

                imacarnut,

                I love using products from both 3D & Meguiars. I am using products from both these fine companies to put out solid quality work.

                    I love those LJ Unlimiteds. Would love a white one.

                      We have no reason to doubt you on this, Nick, but that white is just brilliant now - it looks fantastic!
