hey guys, just wanted to post up pics of a recent clean up im doing on my girlfriends families car I am trying to sell for them. Poor jeep was driven by a high school girl for a few years so the normal interior and exterior beat up was taken to an extreme. But all mechanical things are kep up fairly well as their dad helped with that end. After 2 busy days I was able to see the difference and was happy with what I saw. Quick Overview: -2 bucket wash -Iron decon bath -clay bar -tape up -wet-sanding/polish, IPA wipe down between polish steps -Sand/Paint parts -Seal all part, glass/paint, headlights, plastics -Interior pre vac -Knock everything out of cracks and crevices -Interior plastic wipedown -Vac again -Dress interior surfaces -Final Vac/look over -Last wash -Done Pre-Inspection Faded Wiper Blades Water Spots on all windows Nasty interior Egg in speaker grate This was in every crevice Yes....spider webs in door pockets Rear wiper blade faded This was fun, scrape down side from pulling into garage. Interior not horrible, but not great Pine tree fun All taped up Wipers taped, ready to be sprayed Rear wiper needed attention as well Driver side headlight hit by egg, wetsanded and polished back out with what time I had. Passenger headlight during sanding Door had a few large scratches as well Wipers painted Egg removed with toothbrush Scrape gone, small dents left but much better Tails cleaned up Wheels and tires nasty All cleaned up Headlights nice and clear now Rear wiper top view sprayed Rear cleaned up Dash cleaned and dressed Final glamour shot with my jeep making a cameo Found a new front bumper at 50 local so that nasty one will be gone. and should complete the look. Thanks for looking looking through the long write up everyone!
Beautiful job, SRT8Spartan !!!! That poor Jeep was hammered ! Could have been a poster child for Neglected, Trashed, Jeeps.com Great work, great results, the family had to be so happy. Thanks for doing that "labor of love" ! Dan F
Thanks alot man! :thumb: Haha should be the poster child for sure, thing was not horrible at 10 ft but any closer it was nastyy haha. They loved it so thats all that matters to me, and hopefully it helps it sell. hey thanks! :thumb: I love the intricate work, its what makes a detail a detail. :headbang: OCD wouldnt let me leave those small spots anyways haha
***Update*** Just finished the final touches to the WJ, came out pretty good i think, but I'll let you guys be the judge. Front Taped Up All Set Made sure to hit all plastic in back Thrashed Front End Gas Tank Taped Up Burnin' the midnight oil Finished Product Tried to plasti-dip front badge, but it was too hammered
Continued.. Present Unwrapped Hitch painted as well with other paint Clean Thanks for looking everyone!
Wow, looks fantastic! And girls say guys are really nasty...just take a look at their cars sometime and you be the judge So you repainted the trim? How well does that hold out in the long run (and what did you use)?
Haha yeah, cars seems to be a way to judge as well haha. But yes spray painted the trim with Krylon Fusion paint, is is specifically for plastics and should hold up for around 1 year and half no problem till it might lose its color, after then another coat on top will bring it back. I wanted to clearcoat over the top but heard mixed reviews with it over the fusion paint. Trim painted, interior cleaned, paint compounded/polished. done deal, and hopefully it helps it sell.
