Was finally able to wash and detail my KJ yesterday after it's weekend adventure w/the mud. Pressure washed her and used Meguiars Spray Wax/Quick Detailer and some tire shine.

Went from this...

That mud sure scratched the hell out of my paint though! :twisted:

Sorry bout the scratches, but this looks better. Nothing a good set of wiper blades couldn't fix.

It's a Jeep, not a Lexus.

Get it dirty again.

Chics like shinny Lexus', and Dirty Jeeps. It's a Fact.

The scratches hurt less and less the more you get.

I know, I know, Jeep's are ment to be dirty. Unfortunately I can't keep it dirty. I have to wear a Navy uniform, and if I manage to bump into a piece of mud while entering/exiting my KJ, my uniform will look horrible for the rest of the day, especially if it's my white uniform. :roll:

The lower half of my front bumper has definitely seen better days. My KJ has been involved in 3 minor scrapes/fender benders, only one of which I was the driver for. Fortunately for me, my KJ completely dominated the other vehicle and I only walked away w/minor paint scrapes.

Makes me glad I own a Sport :lol:

Nice KJ though, I wish my paint still looked that good. Maybe it would if I'd wash it once in a while...
