JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Anyone else wax the beast or just me?

the way i see it is the wax protects the paint from water corrosion, which protects the metal from rust corrosion, which protects me jeep from extererior decomposition.

same reason I wanna rustoleum or line the bottom of the jeep as well. want this thing to last at least as long as i do

I wax about once every two to three months and clay bar twice a year! I'm trying to keep what little paint it has looking good!

Just waxed the JK a couple days. Have to! The Arizona sun is a killer; even at this time of the year.
