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.

how do you wash your jk

Before all the sarcastic responses come... I use Mother's Back to Black on the fenders and it works awesome to get mud and other stains out.

303 is a great product. I use it along with plexus on my soft top and besides the few trail scuffs from trees it looks better than new. As for the body plastic I use turtle wax ice tire shine with uv protectant. It's cheap, gives a nice shine, and cleans the parts. The tire shine even works for my bedlined parts.

I just take it into a spray wash.

Spray with soap.
Spray with Wax.
Spray with spot-free rinse.
Dry with "The Absorber" cloth.
Tire shine with Turtle Wax spray on Shine (once in a while).
Wipe down rims with Meguiars Quik Detailing spray and a microfiber cloth used only for wheels.
Detail fenders and bumpers with 303 Aerospace Protectant (Back to black works well too) and microfiber cloth
Detail paint with Meguiars Quik and a microfiber cloth only for the paint. (I use Turtle Wax Black detailer now, but will go back to Meg's)
Clean glass, headlights, etc... with Invisible Glass and another microfiber cloth. (newspapers work wonders on exterior glass)

Old picture of my Jeep after an additional polish and wax session was done before the above steps were followed:


My Lady's Jeep after the same process:
