I have a Griot 6" orbital - not the new model but the previous one. Last year was the first year I polished with it. Used an all in one product. Meguires I think it was. Several small surfaces on the Jeep particularly in the back of the window and tailgate area. These surfaces are 2 - 3"...

Just wanted to thank everyone for their replies. Jeeps (Wranglers) are a PITA and also high maintenance bitches but I knew that going in. Has to do with how they are built. Lots of creases and crevices where you can't get to. Water gets behind things and drips down. Regarding the...

I have not tried cleaning wax. I have not tried anything yet because I don't want to put the wrong thing on. It does not come off with regular washing I can tell you.

Live in snowy climate so I use touchless wash in cold months. I have a black Jeep Wrangler so it traps a lot of water on days when I can't dry. Reason I can't dry is because the water freezes right away after the wash. My hinges drip water after a wash. I have water/soap lines coming down...

Thanks again everyone. Extremely helpful. Now I have some purchasing to do !

Thanks guys. Very helpful. I will look each one of these steps up and proceed accordingly. Paint is in awesome shape as I use the 2 bucket method and really good products. I wash once a week. Only swirls I see are some very mild ones on the hood. None on the sides or roof. A few in...

Obviously am a newbie at this. So I have a couple questions. The above post implies that correction work needs to be done prior to winter polishing (such as using clay ). Am I understanding this correctly ? Secondly I take it if correction work is not done polishing will result in swirls ?

I know its old but it is dual action. I have a black Jeep daily driver. Just simply want to polish before winter. I am wondering what polishing pads would be recommended. It is a 9" so I assume I would get the pads in 9" size. Then would you use wool, microfiber etc ..?

Update on this. I tried lemon juice and baking soda - nothing. I tried water spot remover - nothing. On the part that opens I tried metal polish - a very mild one with a micro towel and it took away the brush look and changed the color. On the outside part I tried lightly polishing and...

Soaked a sock in pure vinegar and put it over the fuel door for 30 minutes. Did not do a damn thing. Very suprised. I guess it is on to the metal polish.

I will try the vinegar first to see if that works. Thanks for the suggestions. If vinegar does not work then on to the McGuires I guess.

I have an AMI brushed aluminum fuel door. I have brushed stainless trim as well on rocker panels of Jeep. In winter I go to a touchless wash. I have noticed water spots on both of the above. Tried spot remover that I usually use when I was the vehicle. Tried vinegar. Tried a mixture of...

I am accenting a black jeep with aluminum billet items. There are no headlight bezels made in silver billet aluminum that I can find. Only shiny chrome which does not fit. So...... I think they make both plastic as well as black aluminum headlight bezels. They make chrome for that matter...

You know I was wondering if that was possible the other day. So I guess it works. That is very convenient.

What kind of small inline filter do you use ? I would like to look into it. Also can I use regular soft water filter salt tablets to recharge the soft water filter with my system ?

Some interesting thoughts. First I could also probably use some kind of drying towel on a long pole for the roof. Platform is a great idea. I have a 40watt or volt Black N Decker leaf blower (Lithium Ion Battery ) but it does not seem to have enough power to dry the entire vehicle fast...

So I have a 2015 all BLACK WRANGLER 4 DOOR. I have experimented with several methods to wash the thing. It is big so I found I cannot dry fast enough. Also usually I am washing in the sun which complicates things. Also I have the Deluxe Clean Water Filter Kit sold here. So what I do is...

We have really hard terrible water. I have been using this unit to pre-soak and then to rinse. I wash with the hot water from the house since it is soft (in a bucket). I wash once a week since May. My question is about recharging. I have the original bag of tablets. I will probably be...

Thanks people ! Was worried about etching in the future. I have some Carpro Spotless coming just in case along with my filter. But next wash will be put through a filter and then I am going to spray Opti Clean in a light mist prior to drying. I did wash in the sun but it was about 43...

Man I tell ya it sucks being a noob. I purchased Megs Hyper Wash only to find out it is made for a foam gun. I am using it anyway with the 2 bucket method until I use it all up. It is still soap. The I bought Wheel Brightener based on some of the "How To" detailing threads on wheels only to...
