Default Jeep SRT8: 6.1L AWD Freshness

Let me start off by saying the owner of this car is awesome. I've done quite a few details for this guy. He has been in the market for an SRT8 model for a while, upgrading from his G35 coupe for something that will transport the whole family a little easier. He has already had the wheels powdercoated, and there are many mods to come I'm sure. But before he went any further, it was time to get the beast cleaned up.

Lets pour on the pics.

BEFORE PICS

After its bath



















Shaving off the Jeep badges





YAY NEW SHOP LIGHTS!!!! :fistpump:



Wait what :weirdo:



I did a side-by-side of compounding, polishing and swirl removal with the new lights
Step 1:


Step 2:


Step 3:


Good side


Bad side


No tape


Overall Progress Pics:
(Compound and First Polish Only)









AFTER PICS
I prefer direct sun pics but since some rain had just passed over. It was pretty cloudy outside so a few artificial light shots will have to do.

(Some wax still on the hood)






































Thanks for looking, comments are always appreciated!!!

I'm not sure of the exact color. It was painted a couple years ago and packed away in a garage. There isn't a for sale thread. I think he secretly wants to keep it.

Thanks! Yes, I finished with the Ultrafina and waxed with Black Magic High Def liquid carnauba wax. I want to start playing around with different waxes and sealants but haven't had much time lately.
