Detailing Questions...

[AZKJ]

I didn't see a 'Detailing' section on this board, so I'm posting here.

What does everyone use on the Sport's unpainted fenders to keep them looking good besides armor-all type products, which are dust and dirt magnets?

On the Sport, short of installing lights in the holes on the front grill, are there any kind of plates or plugs to cover the unsightly holes?

Thanks for your inputs.

We need a detailing section bad...*COUGH* BENNETT!!! *COUGH*

As for the sport trim on mine, I use the black magic tire shine foam....the very same stuff I use on the tires.

I spray a moderate layer on all the tires, give it about 5-10 minutes, then take a damp sponge with some of the foam on it (so it has a chance to soak in on the sponge first) and go over all the tires, working in all the tire shine (this helps cut WAY back on the amount that slings up when you first drive it). Then I take that same sponge and go over all the plastic trim when needed. Sometimes i'll spray a small amount on the bigger pieces. I've found this to be the cheapest way to get the color back.

Diggin the color of your KJ too! \/

on sport fenders i would use meguiars all season dressing. its pretty durable and holds up to water fairly decent. it will also help make the fenders shine.

I do the same as mention above, with extreme tire shine spry, i spray it on a rag and go all over, it lasts a while, not terrible shiny if used on a rag and not a dust magnet like armor all, as a self declared pr auto detailer i hate armor all, i do use it though for spraying undercarrieges and fenderwells cause its cheap and you can dillute it with water
