    A few weekends ago we had the pleasure of detailing a 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.

    Jeep has ~110k and as you will see in the pictures it was in rough rough shape with massive swirls and RIDs.

    Goal was to try and bring the gloss back to the paint and remove a majority of the defects. The hood is suffering from cracking paint so not much could be done there. The Jeep was also covered in red overspray that took quite a bit of work to remove/ Overall the Jeep turned out good, nice depth and reflection, but there was a lot of damage from the previous owner that was not correctable. We would say this car is in the lower 85% corrected status. It is worlds better than it was when it came in and thankfully a majority of the remaining damage is blended in. Jeep looks great out in the sun with all the depth and wetness brought back to the paint. We are quite pleased with the outcome and positive the owner will be also.
