What kind of wax do you guys and girls use on your Jeeps? Every car or truck I've had since '85, I've had a problem with the clear coat peeling or the paint fading. This time I haven't put a coat of wax on it yet and it is a year and a half old. I think it should be safe to put a good coat of wax on now.

Well Pauli...since my CJ hasn't seen a coat of paint or wax in over 20 yrs not sure if my advice is all that top drawer...lol..

...but back when I was into cars and paint jobs that I wanted or needed to keep up...I used Blue Coral...waaaaaay back then it was the same stuff the Caddy dealerships used on the Caddies they detailed out. I'm sure the market has changed as well as paints...I'm going back to the days of good ol' acrylic enamels and laquers...lol..but it used to do a nice job on protecting the paint...unless it's a metallic base...then oxidation is gonna get you no matter what.

Does it really work well? I would have never thought of that...I've cleaned small engine airplanes with pam, but never a jeep...Does it come off easily when you wash up later? I live in the country down dirt roads, I would imagine that'd be a dust MAGNET!!!

LEVE recommended Pam, it works. We used to use ATF in a spray bottle on sprint cars. What ever mud didn't fall off was easily blown off at the cion-op pressure wash.

I use "Meguiar's" on everything but the Jeep. Mud is the only thing holding it together.

I like the Crisco Non-Stick Spray much better (well for cooking anyway). Never thought of coating a Jeep with the stuff.

But then again I did coat the underside with oil for years... damn what have I done??? It doesn't leak anymore and all of that stuff gets stuck on there now.

It's all good, got a pressure washer.
