2010 Jeep Patriot
Looks to have been off road a few times, many battle scars including a brush with a garage door.
First thing was a foam soak and pressure wash to remove mud and dirt, then a serious hand wash "scrub".
Sorry I didn't keep up with pictures, with a 2 step correction and interior detail I had to hustle to get the Jeep done today.
Started on it mid day yesterday and finished today, 18 hours total.

After washing I was somewhat surprised at the amount of deep scratches and marring that was hidden from the dirt .

Yes I know, I need to learn how take photos of paint defects with a camera ! :(

Garage door rash "before"
In this picture you can also see the amount of marring the paint had.

After claying and washing a 3rd time I broke out the Flex with orange hybrid pads and a 50/50 105 UC mix . Paint was very hard, sanded quite a few deep scratches with 2000 grit including the scrape from the garage door incident.
Second step was XMT Ultra Fine with a yellow Hybrid pad, first time using this polish, it has a very long working time and was easy to remove.
Garage door rash "after"
