2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Suntek Ultra Clear Bra and Ceramic Coating Package

Lambert Auto Detailing • September 3, 2020

The Jeep brand is no stranger to Denver, with only the mountains a short distance away you can find numerous Jeeps out on the trails enjoying nature and climbing rocks. What about the other Jeeps? The ones that haul the family to their events or the commuter to work everyday? Do they need protected as well? The simple answer- yes! The daily driven vehicles need just as much protection as the others, maybe even more! The miles down C470 at 70mph or maybe those times you get stuck behind a dump truck just leaving a construction site. These all have the potential to fling debris up and chip your paint. This is exactly how paint protection film (clear bra) is utilized. Follow along below and watch how we take this 17k mile Jeep finish from swirled and neglected to glossy and protected!

When this 17k mile 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee came to us it was clear it had seen more automatic car washes than we could even imagine. There were large number of swirls, marring and random defects on every panel. As with every project we begin with a thorough paint decontamination wash and inspection.

Unfortunately a used car that has gone through a quick detail at the dealership usually has a lot more defects than we can actually see. When vehicles go through a quick buff and wax it can leave a layer of fillers that can actually make paint look in better shape than it actually is. This paint was no different.

This Jeep Grand Cherokee at only 17k miles required our Multi Stage Paint Correction. This is a heavy session with compound and a polish to refine the surface. Unfortunately, this is all too common with the use of automatic car washes and shows the real cost of convenience.

Along with paint correction this vehicle had extremely dark window tint metered at 0 in the rear and 3% on the front windows making it even difficult to see out of during the day. All of the old window tint was removed, the front windows were tinted to a legal limit and a windshield visor was added to help keep the sun out of the clients eyes during the morning commute.

Once the clear bra coverage was complete the vehicle then receives a complete wipe down with a coating prep to remove all remaining soaps, oils and dust. This will give the best possible surface for the ceramic coating to bond with.
