Hey everyone I thankfully had the day off from my normal job today and of course me being me i decided to kidnap my girlfriends car to give it a much needed detail. So before anyone sees the pics and says my girlfriend trashed this car i want to inform all that her younger sisters are picked up in this from school and they throw anything and everything in the back and on the floor. Also her dad was using the car for a while so it got a little worse from that as well as her not really caring much for it. Some of what you see here is also from our 6 hour drive down to Virginia this weekend as well as the 8 hour ride back and the 478 miles traveled :thud: Well i was happy with the results on this one for the most part, with the help of my brother I was able to get this car done in a little more than 3 hours. Not many pics as this car had to be done before she got out of work but heres the stuff used and the pics. Enjoy and as usual any and all comments are welcome. :thumb: Wash: Gilmour Foam Gun CG Maxi Suds Megs #62 Wash Mitt Two Bucket Method WW MF Drying Towel Larger MF Drying Towel Clayed: Clay Magic Fine Grade Clay Bar Clay Magic Lube Trim: Black Wow (Lots of it :shrug Glass: Clay Magic Fine Grade Clay Bar CG Window Clean Rain X Wheels: CG Grime Reaper Wheel Brush Armor All Extreme Tire Shine Interior: Shark Steamer Vac MF Towels Cg Grime Reaper CG Silk and Shine CG's Fabric Clean LSP: PB's Natty Red Tools: Costco MF towels DD Uber MF Towels Sony Cyber Shot 7.2mp Pics: Before: After: Gatorade during road trip was the culprit here (apparently frozen gatorade bursts when opened :shrug Before: After: Before: After: Before After Before After Quick pic of my car still looking good since its last wash :applause2: Before After Before After Before of trunk, sry no after but take my word it was spotless afterwards :thumb: Father in law spilt coffee in the cup holder once upon a time. this is the result: Heres the Jeep putting up a fight regardless of me wearing gloves Carpets before and after. I tried my best with one round of CG Fabric Clean And heres the rest of the afters These two pics below are my favorite because you can see how the Natty's Red brought out the color on this car. My girlfriend's 10 year old sister came out as I was giving the jeep the last few touches at her house and thought we had bought a new car :giggle:. I made sure she understood she had to help keep it as clean as it was now lol Thanks for viewing hope you enjoyed
Everything looks good man, one suggestion though. Get some tire cleaner, I like A2Z Eagle One, and a nice kinda stiff tire brush. I say so because those white walls of the tire are looking not very white, and the ones on a Jeep GC Limited I just did had the same problem. Cleaned the tires, and the lettering came out nice and white and REALLY helped the look of the car.
yeh i have a stiff tire brush and i hit it with some CG's Grime Reaper but it didnt seem to get it out. I didnt spend much time on it though considering I didnt have much time to waste so it might of come out with some more elbow grease but i will def look into the cleaner you suggested thanks :thumb:
No problem dude, it's a very good tire cleaner and available OTC. Here check it out in this thread, this is the Jeep I'm talking about. I don't have many befores, but look at the 5th picture in the thread and at the lettering that is a dark gray. Then check out the afters. And it doesn't take much, just a couple swipes around the tire with a tire brush and the crap came right off. The letters were actually whiter in person, I use a shitty camera. And the Eagle One tire and rim cleaner is a really good product anyway, one of the only OTC ones I use. BTW, be careful about what you use on tires. I used Meg's APC+ once before, lots of crap came of the tire, looked great after I rinsed it off, then it dried to a dull orange. Tried Tarminator after that, just sprayed it on, agitated and hosed off, once agian lots of crap came off and it looked great, then for some reason the tires dried orange agian, just big splotches of it. Tried Eagle one after that and was very happy with the results. Thread: http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/f47/darkstar752-detailed-2005-jeep-grand-cherokee-10336.html
Very well done, I must admit it came out very nice! My brother in law has one (diesel) of those, but his is nowhere near to that condition (automatic touchless washing).
that lettering is looking super white! im going to have to get some of this and i know exactly what you mean about the tires looking orange after using a cleaner lol
