Hey Guys, i Just bought a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited on Wednesday....its got the Jeep hard top thats Textured black.....i was looking out my window at the Rain that has been pouring on my brand new jeep since i picked it up and wondering HOW THE HECK AM I GONNA GT THAT TO BEAD.......I have never detailed a jeep in my detailing so i have never had to think about it..... my Guesses are sealers that dont need removal would work but i wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with them..... Thanks BTW pics of the new jeep to come after I clean it up since it was raining when i picked it up wed night and hasnt stopped yet....
Good question as a co-worker wants me to detail his new Jeep. I took a quick look at the top and my first reaction was just treat it like the paint...but I'm not sure on the material so I too am looking forward to some feed back here opcorn:
Nica i would say treat it like paint but it has a texture to it...and after working on tons of boats in my lifetime i have found that Texture=Nightmare for removal...LOL.....
I've have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler with 40,500 miles in mint condition with a black hard top. All these years what ever I have tried is a bust. It either runs or stains. As much as I would like to be the hero in this case. I have nothing. Believe it or not the best thing to do is wash it and leave it. I wish I had an answer for you but sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. The top will look new for a long time without doing anything anyway. Good luck guys. Keep me in the loop if you find anything. The only thing I could do if it gets to ratty is paint it.
You just gave me an idea. OPT Optimium Opti-Seal...The only thing is it would make the top shiny and I always liked mine flat the way it came...Just a thought...:shrug:
Oooh good idea there Buddy, so how about you give it a shot and let us know how it works out :whistle:
Ya, I can do that. Give me some time. I have to order it. I've been wanting to try it anyway...:thumb:
i have wanted to order that anyway so i think i am gonna order it and try it out.....My top is fairly shiny so maybe it will look ok......
I've only ever worked on one. I looked up the job and saw that I used 303 but got streaks. I went over it with ONR and it looked great. I don't know how long it lasted, if the streaks came back or what. It looked great at the time though.
I rec'd my Opti-Seal and went right to work on my hard top. I really thought I had the answer this time But no. It was just another bust. I applied it, It looked really good at first and then in soaked in and I couldn't even tell where I applied it and thats the way the stories goes...:shrug:
Thanks for trying Buddy, I'll see how my attempts go I get the vehicle some time this week :computer:
