My hardtop has pinstripes all over it. Went they some very narrow trails a few weeks ago. I like the look of a jeep that is used for what it's meant for. Looks way better than shiny and waxed.

This was one of the very first trails I took my Rubicon on when it was new. I was like... !!! I thought my paint job was going to be destroyed. But we took pruning shears and did what we could to try to save it. When I got home, it looked horrible. But once I washed and waxed it, I couldn't believe my eyes. There really were only a few pinstripes on the side of the hard top, and a lot of pinstripes on the roof. I had waxed the Jeep probably 5 or 6 times before taking it to that trail, and I really believe that's what saved it. So I have continued to wax it once a month, and now after 16 months and a lot of trails, it still looks pretty sharp. I do ALWAYS carry pruning shears, ax, and hand saw at all times though, and I avoide brushy trails if possible. And I'm trying to learn to not be so uptite about it, since I did make a concious choice to buy black and made the committment to keep it as nice as I can, while still using it off-road.

To cut down on the amount of scratches on one trail, I used a rock to just remove one of my fenders. For the rest of the trip it did not get any more scratches. So just rub up on a rock and remove those fenders….. I bought a buffer over a month ago, just can’t seem to bring myself to remove the pin striping

Oh yeah, scratches, a few dents, scraped paint, rust, you name it, it is there.
About once a year I go over it and make it pretty again (I cheat and use a tinted wax), but, hey, this is why I bought it.
