Yes this is my vehicle. My beloved Jeep. It’s been very good to me and I haven’t been as good to it as I should. I put sweat and love into everyone else’s cars but not mine. (Hey you don’t get paid to polish your own ride!)

This vehicle is 5 years old and the hood has been through a lot. Beach sand, off roading through woods, Florida sun with no protection. It has a few spots of clear coat cracking and I plan on sanding it down and having the hood resprayed. There’s also some gouges in the finish that has been coated with touch up paint that are still visible.

I used a high speed buffer and a Dual Action Polisher along with foam and wool pads and different cuts of Menzerna Polish. The color is now rich and deep and swirl free. I might reconsider that repsraying for a while!

I topped the hood with 3M Marine wax. This stuff is TOUGH! It has to be to withstand salt water. I noticed while waxing a boat with it how shiny it was and how the water beaded on my HANDS after getting some on them! Among other things. Its a new theory I’m testing out, (using boat wax on vehicles.) I’ll keep you posted on how it works and how long it lasts compared to other waxes I’ve used.
