North Babylon Car Detailing – 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Jeep Grand Cherokee’s are always a pleasure to detail. We recently detailed a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited in North Babylon, NY. This Jeep had it’s typical wear and tear. The owner explained that she had a terrible experience at a local car wash the last time it was detailed. Additionally, she didn’t care for having to drop off the truck, find a ride home, and return back to the car wash again to pick it up. Calling Victory Detailing (mobile professionals!) was clearly the right choice.
We started with rinsing down the car and scrubbing it. The only area that needed additional attention was the wheels. Jeep wheels are tough to work on as they become pitted, stained, and caked with brake dust. You can get them looking new again, but it takes time and agitation with stiff bristle wheel brush to deliver results. After rinsing and drying we took a clay bar to the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s painted surfaces. The clay worked well on the white paint and got into the cracks where we molded the clay to fit. If clay was not used on this car, dirt would have forever remained in the majority of tight spaces between the molding, weather stripping, etc.
After we removed the carnauba-based wax, the paint felt nourished, treated, and protected. There was a noticeable difference in the shine we created after wax removal. We finished by treating the vinyl, rubber, and plastic trim. We also treated the tires and protected the wheels. After the exterior glass was polished, we tackled the interior.
The interior was in good shape for the most part. The only source of concern the owner had was the condition of the door panels. (As left in poor condition from the last detailing job) There were white streaks that appear to have been created from a cheap “armor-all” type product that was never wiped off. We were able to removed the stains from the door panels and leave them with a brilliant shine.
We left our signature air freshener (new car scent!) in the Jeep and asked the owner to give the vehicle a glance over. She was very happy and impressed with our work as she told us “she hasn’t seen it looking this good since it was new!” We were pleased with the results and hope to detailing her 39 ft. RV in the near future.
