Migliore Detailed: 07 WK 5.7

It was disappointing to see my favorite vehicle in the Jeep line-up in such horrible shape. Between the sticker residue, deep scratches and rust pitted wheels I was boggled at where to start.

To preface, this vehicle is owned by the VP of an insurance company (gfs dad). This is his company car. As you can see, it was used for many errands as well as golf trips from the numerous score cards I acquired . I ended up with a grocery bag full of remnants for the interior to return to the owner.

This vehicle has NEVER been washed, it's outside all of it's life. Thankfully in that respect the swirls were very minor, but the vehicle as a whole was hurt.

The client was just looking for a quick wax and vacuum, but I took it a little bit farther to be satisfied.

Process:

Foamed with Poorboy's Slick and Suds wash.
Dried with WW towel.
Clayed with Meguairs Clay with QD as lube.
OC via LC 4" yellow, on necessary scratches.
Waxed with Migliore Fine Wax.

The wheels had been pitted with rust. They really needed refinishing but I tried to bring them back the best I could. I used number products and found Dupont No.7 chrome polish was the only product that could tackle the rust.

Interior:

Dusted
Kirkland All Purpose cleaner on textured pieces. 4" brush and toothbrush to agitate.
Woolite and water mix on the leather.
Vacuum.
QD on doorjambs.
Gold Class leather conditioner.


I apologize for the lack of quality pictures, it was a gloomy day. Add into that the fact that I was using a point and shoot :wall.
