*edit* I meant to put this in show and shine :o
can someone move it for me *edit*


...besides my own.

This was done on my parents jeep. It's one of my test mules because its
dirty as doodoo. When I get some more time I'm going to attack the paint
on it so it should eventually be fairly clean.

Theres not much to describe about the process. I used meguiars car wash
soap with a couple of microfiber towels. Then some AA tire foam and a good
wiping. I need to invest in some small brushes to make it easier to get the
hard to reach areas.

I missed a couple of spots but it turned out pretty good.
yeah, forgot to take the wrong date off the pics.

heres teh pics:

Nice job there. It's funny..I just did my 1st one..it's in S & S from a few days ago. I have never even bothered to do it on my own FX. It's bad enough to me just to do the interior, let alone the motor.
