My Jeep ain’t no Pavement Princess! I love doing challenging trails; the more challenging the happier I am.
That being said, trails like this tend to increase the likelyhood of nicks and scratches to your body, and if you own a JEEP like I do, the Hard-Top. I just went on a trip to the Crowsnest Pass in southern Alberta; it was an amazing trail, but it was very narrow. As a result, the trees took their toll on both my clear coat on my body as well as the Fiberglass Hard-Top. The body I can wax out; the same is NOT true for the Hard-Top.
I am starting a 2-part series on how to keep your body looking good even on agressive, narrow trails. In this first episode, I am focusing on my Hard-Top. In part-2, I will focus on my body panels.
Checkout Part 1 where I apply Raptor Liner to my 2-Door Wrangler Hard-Top. In Part 2, I will try to figure out a solution for my doors and other exposed areas along the side.
