This is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland that made it’s way to the shop courtesy of Denny Yates.

Denny heard about the shop and the work we do by way of our good friend Corey Silveus, and Corey I just wanted to thank you for spreading the good word about the shop, and referring your friends and family here!

Now after speaking with Denny it became apparent pretty quickly that his main goal was protection and ease of maintenance. He takes this Jeep fishing and down country roads and we all know how they can be: Rough, rocky, dusty, and full of bugs!

To help with the rocky roads and potential stone chips we decided to go with paint protection film for all the high impact areas on this truck. That’s the hood, both fenders, and fender flares, the grill, and the A-Pillar.

As far as the ease of maintenance nothing comes close to a professional grade ceramic coating, so once the film was installed we coated the entire vehicle and the film!

As far as the work that went into achieving this level of protection and gloss it was as follows…

The WORK:

Paint Decontamination-

I foamed the vehicle with a decontamination soap from Obsessed Garage and allowed it to dwell on the paint long enough to break down any previous forms of protection that may have been applied to the paint.

I used an iron remover from Gtechniq on the paint, wheels, and glass to remove any brake dust or rail dust, iron, or ferrous materials that may be embedded in the clear coat.

I clay barred the entire vehicle with a synthetic clay from Nanoskin called Autoscrub to remove any contaminants that may still be embedded in the clear coat before starting any aggressive compounding or polishing.

Paint Correction and Enhancement:

I compounded all of the painted surfaces with a diminishing abrasive compound from SONAX called “The Ultimate Cut” on a coarse wool pad from Rupes with a dual action long throw polisher from Rupes to remove all of the swirl marks, minor scratches, and defects in the paint.

I polished the entire vehicle with a water based solvent free polish from SONAX USA called “Perfect Finish” with an orange HDO foam pad from Lake Country on a dual action long throw polisher also from Rupes to remove any marring leftover from our wool pad and of course to add gloss and bring back that mirror finish we all love so much!

Paint Protection:

Now that we had achieved the finish we were looking for it was time to lock it in with protection.

I cleaned the entire vehicle with an alcohol based panel wipe from Meguiar’s to remove any oil or residue left over from our compound and polishing stages, and then went back over all of the painted surfaces with Gtechniq “Panel Wipe” to help promote the bonding of our ceramic coating and paint protection film with the clear coat.

We applied STEK USA Dynoshield paint protection film to the front clip. That’s a partial strip on the hood, both fenders, fender flares, the grill, and the A-pillar! Leaving all of our “high impact” areas protected from stone chips and scratches.

Then I applied a layer of G-Techniq Halo to all of our film (the ease of maintenance part we talked about earlier) adding a layer of protection to our protection!

Halo is a ceramic coating designed to be flexible for vinyl and paint protection film.

I applied a layer of Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light to all of the painted surfaces, headlights, and taillights, and all of the trim.

We applied a layer of G-Techniq C5 “Wheel Amour” to all 4 wheels.

We applied a glass ceramic coating to the windshield, cleaned the engine bay, and fully detailed and dressed the interior as well.

Denny thank you very much for allowing myself and the shop the opportunity to do this for you!!!

Thank you to everyone for following along and thank
you for your continued support. God Bless!!!
