Re: My first full detail ( 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara)
my hands were killing me from doing the polishes by hand.
How long did it take?

Polishing by hand....did that for the first 6 years of my "detailing" career. Once you get on Machine Polishing, you wont ever go back. Although the art of hand polishing will come in handy on small tough to reach areas that your machine cant get to.
Once you do decide to get a DA/ or Rotary, you will UNLOCK the full potential of any brand polish you decide to go with.
Good luck & clean job!

I get wiped out doing a one-step with a DA. I can't imagine doing everything you did by hand. Hats off to you, bud.
Yeah, get yourself a DA....you don't know what you're missing
Looks like your Jeep came out very nice !!! You did a ton of work so hope you're pleased.

Took me 9.5 hours from start to finish. Luckily the wife and kids were out of town.

Re: My first full detail ( 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara)
Nice work! This sounds silly to a lot of folks, but there is something therapeutic and peaceful about working by hand. That said....the move to machine polishing is a life changer.
Over time, I'm guessing you'll find what products really work for you. What turns off a lot of folks, for example, is the price of 'boutique' products in comparison to the OTC stuff. Realistically, though, between their effectiveness and durability, the "good" stuff is actually cheaper in the long run.
If you don't mind me barging in, the first thing I'd recommend considering is a much better APC for the wells, undercarriage, etc. Simple Green is actually neither, and the filmy residue it leaves behind collects dirt and grime like a magnet. Meguiar's APC, as just one example, is awesome....and you can dilute based on what you're cleaning. 3:1 will work wonders on those wheel wells, and 10:1 makes a nice light cleaning solution for interior and glass.
Kudos on a job well done!
