    Black Jeep Rubicon, Major Paint Correction, and CQuartz Finest Coating Application.

    I know it’s supposed to be a “Jeep thing”, and I do get it, but I still really dislike polishing these vehicles, and I’m sure most detailers will agree. This off road king will be the 2nd vehicle I’ve done for this client now. This vehicle gets used to go to the cabin a lot, seeing its share of bugs, sap, and other harsh elements, so he wanted to get her all polished up, looking good, and then protected with CQuartz Finest. As you can see from the pics, this Jeep required a good amount of polishing to get it back to like new, and with all those tight areas and protruding hinges, not to mention all the trim, this one took a lot of time as well.

    LOL, yeah, if it's not used as a Jeep it is kind of pointless, but they are kind of cool. Growing up I always liked them, but I'm sure that stemmed from all the childhood shows and movies they appeared in. (mmmm Daisy Duke!) :)

    Great Job!! I have a 13 Sahara Unlimited (4 door) with a 2.5 inch lift 35s and 20" wheels. I do not off-road it at all, it is the ultimate "mall crawler" If I want to go in the woods I have a Polaris Rzr that I abuse. All of my friend think I'm crazy but I can't come to beat up a $40k vehicle just because it says Jeep on it. The Rubicon you detailed is a 10th Anniversary edition and probably runs $45k stock, I wouldn't drive that through a puddle let alone wheel it hard like he does.

    Wow that's gorgeous for a rugged off road vehicle. I'm sure these are a blast to drive and that's one hell of a detail! What did you use on the tires? I love that it's not too shiny and just looks clean and vibrant!
