This Brand New Jeep is Ready for Winter

When detailing Rubicons, watch out for the sticker. The Rubicon sticker can peel up kind of easy.

From one Lightroom user to another... Love the Jeep and the Lexus!

^Thanks Steve!

Great work on the jeep. They're nice vehicles for sure. I did one recently and thought it was pretty neat.

^Thanks! It was quite nice.

For those of you with your JKs, check out jeepforum.com. You will be addicted there with aftermarket parts just like AG. If you don't know what a JK is, ignore this message. I have an 05 LJ Rubicon.

Edit: Very nice work on the detail and write up of your work.

^Thanks!

^I tape off all decals before the buffer touches the paint. Thanks for looking out though :xyxthumbs:

Nice work. How many coats of 303 did you need on the trim? I've always just used one, but it doesn't always look even. Especially if there was mud or dirt on the trim from off-road use since that stuff tends to stain it easier.

Hmmm, I suspect that Jeep may never touch trails ever. The owner replaced the stock rock rails with the plastic side steps. Not that you can't go quite a few places with those steps, but it's a step backwards in capability for the vehicle.

2 coats. I find the trick is to apply it liberally at first, then wipe off excess product with a clean microfiber. This leaves an even coating behind. This Jeep was brand new, so the trim was nearly perfect to begin with.
