Got my new Jeep in about a week and a half ago. Finally got a chance due to nice weather to put some sealant on the paint to get it through winter. I didn't get a chance to get many pics because I got started late. Maybe in the Spring though because even though the dealer didn't do any washing or anything per my instructions there are a few spots with some fine scratches that will need to be polished out when it warms up.
Basically it got a full wash with BTBM + Dawn to strip anything left on the paint (there was weird junk leftover when I washed it the first time last week). Then I hit the paint and the wheels with WG Deep Gloss Spritz which I just got off the BOGO. Wow that stuff is really easy to use, I like it a lot. The interior plastic/"soft touch" areas were sealed with Ultima IGP, the exterior trim (fenders, running boards, bumpers) with 303.
The tires were finished with Pinnacle tire gel (not pictured). I tried to use some of the Tyromania I have left but after trying to use it on the rear mounted spare, I gave up and cracked open my new bottle of the Pinnacle stuff. Tyromania is just a royal pain to use on ribbed sidewalls and the ones on the Jeep just made it really frustrating.
On to the pics Im the MAN First pic is to show that yes this is a green Jeep. It's "black forest green pearlcoat" so it changes color depending on angle and is a very very dark green that will look black depending on the light.
Here's a front shot. Notice how the Jeep now looks black................
