Right after winter, I use a Meguiars claybar using Meguiars spray detailer as the lubracator, followed up by Meguiars 3 step. The fenders and trim are done with Meguiars Ultimate Black. The rest of the summer into fall I use Turtlewax Ice, after every time I wash, including the fenders and trim. The soft top is done with 303 fabric cleaner, followed by 303 Protectant.
I got the wife a 2007 black JKUback in Oct.06, and as we all know black is the hardest color to keep looking clean and shiny. We have no garage, so it is always outdoors. This combination works well and she is always happy with the results.
As for my 94 Cherokee, its just mud and dirt.

X2 on this as well. You may be able to tell I've scratched the crap out of my paint, and have tried to fix it lol. The scratch x works very well to make the scratches unseen, but it doesn't completely erase the deep scratches. At least, that's my experience with it.

I second the Zymol wax. It is a great wax and smells pretty good!
The big plus is it does not have petroleum distillates like other waxes.

Some of Griots wax has petroleum distillates which is basically removing a very thin layer of paint every time you wax your
Jeep.

I do like Griots Speed Shine and use it for water spots, bugs, etc. I use the crap out of this stuff!! lol

Default Aqua Seal

Turtle Wax Ice is great. I also use product called Aqua Seal from Detail King (detailking.com). I buy all of my products through them and this is another great one. You apply it while the Jeep (or any other vehicle) is wet. Does not turn the plastic or rubber white.

Ok, so after reading this thread I bought some Turtle Wax Ice. I washed the Jeep and started to wax it. My wife was hanging out with the dog in the yard. After a few minutes of applying wax to the many tiny segments of the Jeep, I said "Why would anyone wax a Jeep?" And my wife said, "I was just thinking the same thing." Well, it does look nice. But I don't think I'll be spending part of my Sunday afternoon on this again.
