Okay, so on Saturday I decided to try my first time ever on my 7424XP on my dad's "new" 2010 Jeep Wrangler. It's black so I thought what's a better test run? I had bought a BOGO on some XMT 360 a while back and have yet to use it so, I decided to use it on the Wrangler. The tires and wheels didn't turn out that great nor did the undercarriage. I was looking for the paint to look good. So, don't expect anything dramatic as it's my first time and I'm still inexperienced at taking photos as well. Btw, I'm only 17 and do this for fun.

Products Used:

Wash: Optimum No Rinse, AG bucket with grit guard, and LC Blue Sponge.

Wheels: Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaner

Tires: Bleche White

Correction: XMT 360, 4" Orange Flat Pads, Speed 5


Picture time!

I had planned DP Poli-Coat Paint Sealant but haven't gotten a chance. XMT 360 has protecting properties in it so, it should be fine until I get a chance to do it which should be this weekend.

Yea, I was planning on that! He was a little weary! Didn't believe me when I said it was practically impossible to burn through paint with a DA!

Yeah he really is. Someone came up to him at the gas station today and said "That's a shiny Jeep you got there!" I cracked up.

For it being your first time with the PC, I'd have to say you did more than amazing. Great job and I bet your own truck will turn out better than your dad's Wrangler now that you've had some practice.

Hopefully it will since it's mine! It will be different though since it's a single stage!

Looks pretty good, you will only keep getting better and better, if thats your goal, try new products...360 is a good product to have around....try Menzerna's line....that is where its at for me.
