    Mirror Reflections Auto Spa doing paint correction on Grand Cherokee straight from dealership

    This is a repeat customer of mine, the owner of the Green Mustang. This time it would be his wife's vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. He told me about the dealership prepping the vehicle and then coming to me, so yes it is Menzerna time.

    I uploaded the video of this project here



    Cleaners
    Chemical Guys Citrus Red Soap (foam: paint & undercarriage)
    Optimum Car Wash
    Blackfire Rinseless
    Meguiars D114
    Pinnacle All Purpose Cleaner
    Blackfire Total Eclipse Tire and Wheel Cleaner
    Xenit Citrus Degreaser (just for the other guy's wax lol)
    Carpro Eraser
    Klasse AIO (for the stainless steel trim)






    Post Wash Cleaning
    Wolfgang Elastic Poly Clay Bar




    Paint Correction
    Menzerna SF 3800 (formally 4000)
    Menzerna FG 400

    Rupes Duetto with Rupes pads
    Porter Cable with 3inch backing plate and Lake Country pads


    Dressing
    (undercarriage) Bare Bones
    (tires) Detailer's Pro Series Tire Gel
    Poorboys Trim Restorer (for trim/mouldings)

    Protection
    Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
    Poorboys Wheel Sealant
    Wolfgang Liquid Seal (headlights, doorjambs, and windows)

    Very light swirl to moderate swirls became revealed as medium and in some places heavy swirls after the claybar removed the fillers.

    I decided to stick to my game plan of SF3800 on a light polishing Rupes pad and just polish a second time if I am not satisfied which worked out well. I made an exception for the area you see pretty marred and the bumper; using FG400 with a medium heavy cut pad (Green) and then finishing with SF3800.



    Several areas had very deep RIDS. My priority in all of those situations upon visual inspection was to minimize based upon its depth and paint thickness.

    I attacked these with my Porter Cable and 3inch Orange LC Pads with FG400.

    We were both very pleasantly surprised with how close I came to making them invisible.

    The plastic stainless trim was very heavily oxidized and dull looking. Klasse by hand worked really well.

    I love it! "Its Menzerna time!"

    Very nice work Rod. That came out great!

    Menzerna 3800 was formally 4500. 3500 is now 4000.

    Menzerna 3800 was formally 4500. 3500 is now 4000.
    so is the 3800 the finest polish they make or are the two of them equal???

    Thankyou! My apologies to everyone on that.

    Yes I will make sure in the future to hold my phone horizontally. It was driving me crazy wondering why videos' are so narrow! Still learning A LOT through this whole experience.
