I dont use the claybar after the washing process,instead i use the old schol process with a paint cleaner (fine polish) by hand, and also use the same produkt for handpolishing on the smaler parts and also on the front panel, how are nothing else than a plast and the same with fenders and im not sure but i even thinks the hood are making of plast, so here its reason to be very carefull with the rotary macine.

so i only use the rotary macine to ol panels even the plastic but i dont use the rotary on the fronts panel then i only polishing by hands.

and now little tapes on, before i started too polish this lovely color.

Cool color on that Jeep, I actually understood most of your typing too. Do you use a dressing for the tires/wheel wells?

Its fields good that you understand my english,and i agre with gou about the color on this car its nearly tastes like candy:hungry:

About the tires,so are that no dressing on them,, them are only washing with sonax carwash schampoo,

But on the rouf and the rest of the black parts on this jeep, i applicate turtels liquid ice wax but not on the topp on the fot stage ,you can think whats happen if the owner of the car twistes around after slipped down from the steps:laughing:

about the wheel wells im not sure what you mean? but i think you mean the cover round the spare well and there im have the same turtels liquid wax, its works fore every thing :cool: but not so long time but i like it.



And to the paint protektion i use Diamondbrite Two stage sealer,

Awesome work!

Awesome write-up!

Excellent photography and video!


When you get into a new hobby you really get into it! Thank you so much for the follow-up!



One formatting tip...
After you insert the code for a picture, hit the [Enter] key and put a couple of spaces into your post and then add the next picture.

This will force the pictures to line-up one after another in a linear or vertical pattern. I edited your two picture posts and hit the [Enter] key to do just this.



Bravo! Can't wait to see your next project!

That is my favorite color for the Jeep Wranglers. Great job correcting the paint surface on the Wrangler. Keep up the great work

[JonMiles]

Great work on the JK. It looks great.

I really enjoy seeing people post work proving that they can finish out the paint using only a rotary. Did you have any difficulty in cleaning the visible frame areas behind the wheels and under the side steps? I always find those areas a bit tough to clean perfectly when detailing my wrangler.

Also, what kind of polishes and pads were you using? It seemed as though dusting and splatter were not an issue by your video.

Bra jobbat!

Yes it is a lovly color to look on, but i dont like al the plastic panels on this car becuas i had to work very carfully with it, when i use the rotary macine tfor not burn the paint at the same time i thougt the paint was very hard compared with my previous experience.

and also thanks for yours warm words about my works on this jeep:)

Tack!
JonMiles should i answer you in English or på svenska,i chose english so even the other readers understand,at the same time i can lern me better english writings.

But now i fiel that i need to cheat with help frome goggle translating webb site to answers to ol your questens
So here we go.:work:
Do As I said, not done to polish the car for so many years, and then only to the friends o acquaintances, and in the beginning when the cars more or less completely out of the paint, and a bit rusty here and there.

But when I had an old rotary machine lying on the shelves so it was quite natural to use it to say that polish cars.

Used it safely for two years at the time to polish with, and then also for the final finish, when I did not even know that it existed when machines are available to polish (remove scratches on cars with no more or less thought they were for to add a little wax on the cars with.

But anyway, I thought that my old rotary machine with 28 years old, was getting a bit heavy to use and so lacked the speed control so it went kostant at 1500rpm which meant that it required a lot of attention.

And it felt too heavy in the long run to carry around.
so I got me a flex 3401 when the machine because it seemed very promising in my case to use instead of my old rotary machine, so I started training with 3401.an and drove safely three or four cars with everything from rubbing the final finish , but then discovered that it vibrated too much to even run the final finish, while it required alldelles too much muscle to buff away rough scratches, simply took too long to even be worth the effort.

So 3401, an was shelved, and I had one of those small rotating machinery used in the movie is already in the shelves, but then not used it before because I thought it was too loud, but it went all cases, down from shelves and the rest is history as it suited me as Gauntlet to polish cars and then soh said both polishes and finish, feels entitled to use the rotating machine when both vibrate less and it becomes better finish with less polish step.

Just for this car, I used to clean the paint and hand-polishing liquid aoutosols nice rubbing, and rubbing and fine polishing, I used only Wurth rough polish as they say here in Sweden,

May sound a little strange to use only a rough rubbing to both polishes and finpolish, but this product has the characteristic that it is possible to work down to very fine polish as you could run it out very well.

and so I used a very low speed of the machine ca1000rpm all the way and to not burn the plastic and then also for the product to really have time to work without losing harvesting capacity too quickly, then've got this rubbing how much lubricity at any time so the never goes dry.

But now that I've got a new bottle of this wonderful product from wurth.så I was really disappointed when they changed the mix, so now is the only dry-o boring and ponds as hell, but it bites like crazy but totally impossible to work down to the final finish.

But I throw with one to film clips on this jeep where it can be seen more clearly how I have to first use the product as rough rubbing, and allows the product to remain at the door, while I clean the pads its sems thats are much dust in the pads but it is weet on the doors, and then when driving over the door again in order to get that last bit of both product and gloss.

And it even seens that i use the same pads to the rubbing and final finish. here in sweden the pads are called yellow medium pads

But your asking about how i think it was to clean the visible frame areas behind the wheels and under the side steps so nothing i thougt about i only clean it without to polish it,what i can remember anyway:)
