    Hi Guys!

    Had this Jeep Correction a few weeks ago. The customer was concerned about a bad buff job from a local car wash.

    The car was corrected with Meg's cutting disc's and Scholl's Polishes. Topped off with a coat of Swissvax Onyx Wax and Swissvax Nano Express on all trim and hard top.

    Washed and degrease... The trim was overly shined and very slick and oily prior to the wash.

    Rinsed down with dish soap... Palmolive

    After it was dried and wiped down I removed the windshield wipers, rear tire rack and half the roof.

    Most of the damage was on the bonnet... I think the local car wash realized things weren't going as planned... before it got worse.....

    The rest of the vehicle wasn't to bad.... The typical stuff... But much lighter buffer trails....

    I had to fully remover the two stickers on both sides of the hood to correct properly....

    Here is a few 50/50's.... after the basic correction process I had to go along and repair (with smaller pads and more finesse) some of the deeper scratches.

    Showing the customer his paint readings.... He was rather concerned and thought it might have been ruined.... It was fine and all reading still healthy!
