Detailing your jeep

[OverlanderJK]

Quick wash getting rid of the Moab red dirt. Already ceramic coated the whole Jeep including all trim and wheels. Makes it so easy to clean. View attachment 380515

Love that color. Looks so good.

 

[HighwayTrout]

Washed, clayed, glazed, sealed. Then put away. lol

Fuck Mud. That's all I have to say about that.

I think I finally figured out how to bring JK fenders back to life. Once they get faded and stained it seems like nothing works... I put something on them and they look good for a bit... then it dries and they look like shit again. So I tried using a stiff nylon brush and rubbed some Mothers Back to Black on the fender... The brush was the ticket... I could see the dirt lifting off the fender. I did a section and let it sit in the sun all day.... and it still looks good. It's all about the Brush.





My side windows got pretty scratched up from the mud last weekend which was a bummer... but I just happened to have some glass polish that took away a majority of the scratches with little effort. It's a good product if you have the same problem.

Report back on the fenders in a month.

For Sure. No doubt it will fade again... but I think getting the stains actually off the fender, will make the routine applications much easier.

when that wears off in the next couple of months, check out Eastwood Plastic Resurfacer, I'll need to get a recent pic but it's held up for several years.

Lighting isn't great... but they still look pretty good a month later.

I'd say that still looks good, I actually bedlined mine a year and a half ago now and they still look the same. 2 $9 cans of black rustoleum, color looks the same as Jeep from factory

That’s a a commando green Jeep under all that Utah red dirt. We had to do an impromptu detail job in Moab as we were on the road for a year. Didn’t come out too bad! Now that we are home, it’s time to give it some MAJOR TLC.

 

[DirtHeadDavis]

I'll actually just post this up since I'm surprised my bedlined flares have held up so well:

Right after spraying them in June 2021...


Now, December 2022...

Just wondering what everyone is using to clean and bring the shine/black back to your undercarriage? I have seen people use lucas oil air tool oil that comes in a spray can. I have used barebones by chemical brothers and it works well but it is kinda hard to apply because it comes in a squirt bottle and you have to usually spread it with a towel to get it even. But today I had my Jeep washed and I saw him spraying EagleOne interior shine to my bumper/suspension and it looked pretty nice. Wondering what everyone else uses.

OverlanderJK has had good luck with used motor oil.

 

[Ddays]

Fluid film works well

Ceramic coat works best and lasts the longest. I don’t think I’ve put it on the frame but…

That stuff is great, I use it on hot tub covers but never thought about using it on the jeeps
