Detailed it. Used clay, then Meg's Ultimate Compound then Meg's Ultimate Polish then Surf City Garage Carnuaba wax.
So....does it look like an 8 year old (July 22nd 2004 build date) KJ with 100k on it?

Hoosier, I see you vigorously clean the top side. What about the under side? I spent 6 hours cleaning the underside of my Liberty little over a week ago. Still need to take off my front skid and tranny skid to get places I couldn't get to before. Jeep is looking great! Mine just rolled over 84,000. Less than 16,000 miles till 100,000 and I can't wait! I bought my Liberty with 32,xxx miles back in June 2009. I have put over 52,000 in three years and by the end of this year I will have put 68,000 miles on it within 3 years. Keep up the good work! |

Thanks. The underside is good, I repaint it a few times a year. Now it's not gloss black anymore, but still matte at least. Only "rust" is on the drive shafts and there's a few little surface rust spots on the passenger rear shock mount weld. |

Wow! She looks beautiful! I think I'm in love. Motivates me to want to give my baby a little more TLC! Dave (MI) |

Yes but after 100,000 you know they turn into a rust bucket ragged looking, have to keep them hidden cause they be so ugly I mean look at mine with 173,000 on it I have to go everywhere after dark cause shes so darn ugly  So this is just a warning to let you know what yours will look like someday

Good point! Thanks for the heads up! I see she really bottomed out on you. At 173k I can't believe you even take her out of the garage! I mean just look at her, that has to be the ugliest/most beautiful KJ I have seen to date. Setting all up high and everything and with all that bling. Thanks for the post, I can't quit staring at her. I might just have to make the rally and get a closer look. Just about the time you think you have seen it all, someone else puts up a new post of their baby. Funny thing, I worked at Chrysler all those years and wasn't even a fan of the KJ. I think I've finally been converted. Dave (MI) |

Tom, if your KJ looks like that now at 173k I'd hate to see at 200k+. Would be an eye sore for sure. The pictures of your Liberty at 173k make me think twice about owning a Liberty. Maybe I should get a Nissan Leaf? |
