ICE by Turtle wax, great stuff deep shine works on every part of the Jeep.
If you don't polish out a section it won't show with white residue.
Us it on your headlights, tail lights any color plastic.
Down side it does not have any UV protection.

Great Waxes (IMHO).
As reported by Consumer Reports - Liquid Black Magic Car wax.
Goes on Easy great shine UV protection, takes out minor swirls.
Cost only 5.95 at WalMart.
Down side, rub on rub off

Wax As You Dry - By Eagle One. This is absolutly my favorite. Wax your Libby in under an hour. Wash, don't dry, spray wax on damp car, now just dry with soft cloth. and you are road ready and shiny again.
UV protection.
Downside, Its a light coat so you have to do it at least once a week, but it is so easy you won't care. About 7.95 at most auto stores including yes do I say it! WalMart. I've been using this for about 4 years now.

Tire shine? Black Magic hands down. Spray on and ready to roll. Wash the darn tires before you use it. It will not clean the tire.
Down side it's a dust magnet. Upside great shine.

Interior - Amour All with respect. It has UV protection and gives the best shine. All the others are watered down copies. I've tried the rest and Armour all is still the best

Smells? Sprinkle Arm and Hammer baking soda under the seats and on the carpet. Let it sit over night and vacum in the morning. Won't hurt the carpet. AH rocks, I used to be a smoker and no one ever knew it.

Class cleaner? Must be tint safe. Windex works great on the outside of the windows. Do not use RainX fog stuff on your tinted windows it will ruin them. Stay away from the ones with the Amonia it drys out rubber really bad.

Scratches - Make sure your remover is "Clear Coat Safe"
Color back does not work except on TV commercials.
Mequires X stuff is pretty good but I find the Turtle wax polisher (White creame) works best. Do not use the red stuff its very corse.
Do not over rub. Keep trying until you get the desired effect have patients or you could end up rubbing off the clear coat.
Sometimes just using it overtime would be the best. Constant use will harm and deminish the protective ablity of your coat of paint.
Us a good wax like Black Magic Liquid after buffing.

Remember care and time is the best shine, rush the job and you could ruin you ride. :D
