Buy Meguiars Ultimate Detailer and a microfiber towel as this works well making the black pop and get's rid of water marks after washing/drying.

Just returned from a fall colors run and just like all Jeeps this thing is a bug magnet....

Oh well, shouldn't have washed it yesterday.

Off to wash the Jeep and crack open a couple of cold Stiegl's.

6300 miles today, and a record for gas mileage: 20.2!

One issue to think about with painted fenders, especially with semi-aggressive to aggressive tires: Rock chips. I think a 3-M clear bra on the forward facing sides would be ideal to prevent most rocks and other debris thrown up by the tires. I already have a few and it is a month old :( Oh well, it's a Jeep, right?
