    I GIVE UP! ('00 XJ Trail Queen)

    Oh, the joys of being a detailer but also loving to hit the dirt!

    I've made the decision to cut the cord on the beautification other than the basic wash and paint protection and interior stuff.

    It's a jeep! It's supposed to be dirty with scars from 4 wheeling and doing the things you're supposed to do with a jeep!

    Luckily, she was not pristene when I got her so I did not have to deal with the first trail tattoos and bumps/bruises!

    I could never get a new 4wd for that reason, unless there is a dealer option for scratching....oh wait!

    Good for you man. It's hard to not keep all the cars spotless. My wife used to always give me crap about cleaning my truck saying "it's a truck, it's supposed to be dirty". And now I might wash it every 3 months.

    When I first got it, I took the polisher to it. After about 30 minutes, I thought about what the paint will be going through and ended up stopping right there and just doing my LSP.

    But I am loving the jeep life! The little station wagon also is perfect to fit all my detailing stuff in!
