protecting hood graphic

I have a hood graphic on my 2023 Wrangler and was wondering what is the best way to protect it and clean it?

Apply a protective coating of deer.

But seriously, UV will do the most damage to it so unless you want to hide it just let it be. Wash and wax like regular paint. They are removable and replaceable if worse comes to worse. Don't sweat it.

Likewise, just replace it when it craps out. Nothing lasts long under the sun. I bought mine from an Amazon seller (American made) for under $40. I took it to a local sign shop for them to install for another $100. It matches the factory matte black and red perfectly on the Rubicon logo.

Just had my whole Jeep wrapped with PPF. Easiest way, not the cheapest way, to protect everything.

Paint Protection Film, Clear Bra. Xpel and 3M are some of the companies that manufacture it.

303 Aerospace Protectant works great protecting vinyl and plastics from UV damage. In addition to vinyl stickers, it works great on your Jeep's black fenders, bumpers, window rubber seals, etc, and doesn't attract dust. $13.

It does not produce a shiny surface (like Armor All) but does hide scrapes or scuffs. I've used it for years on boats where it's considered the gold standard in UV protectants.
