This is only if you have a painted hard top. if you have the regular black hard top, wax will dry white on it.Good idea. Thanks
I don't have the upgraded painted top.This is only if you have a painted hard top. if you have the regular black hard top, wax will dry white on it.
ceramic spray is fine. but wax and some polishes will leave a white residue, i've tried nufinish polish and i've also accidentally gotten some various waxes on it. The ceramic probably works well though. I've been using Meguiars tire shine gel on the fenders (I don't have painted fenders like you) and it has incredible viscosity so i haven't attempted to try anything else lolI don't have the upgraded painted top.The paint has some texture but it is not porous and should not be a problem (unless your tops are different than mine?). Also, the ceramic spray doesn't leave any white residue.
This stuff works pretty good. It deepens the color of the paint and looks great. Id recommend reapplying every 3 months. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Turtle-W...423331361?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0

I always thought that was from sun fading it? Haven't ever seen anything on using a tire shine that is safe for plastic known to be causing issues. Not saying you are wrong. Just curious.Never use that tire shine crap on anything. Tire shine products will eventually damage the hardtop finish. How often have you seen a Jeep a few years old and the black is all messed up on the hardtop? Tire shine and Armor All products are why. I don’t even use it on tires.
For the hardtop, Turtle Wax Ice (not a wax) will leave a nice matte finish that will bead water.
If you must use a spray product, 303 is great for the fenders, trim and hardtop. You could also use Pledge furniture polish, but it wont last long.
ah gotcha, yeah i've only used it a few times on my fenders and bumpers. I haven't really tried anything on the hard top except a soap wash and quick detailerThe black on the hardtop is a matte paint finish that is very thin. It is not molded in color plastic. The solvents that make tire shine/Armor All products absorb into rubber and plastic just deteriorate that paint finish.
