Of course.When it rains, does this pool for you JL owners?
Maybe it would help a bit if you used a high quality wax on your hood. Those are some pretty big droplets of water you've got parked on that surface.When it rains, does this pool for you JL owners?
I use Aero Cosmetics Wash and Wax All on all exterior (and some interior) surfaces. Super easy to apply; I use the “wet method” on the exterior surfaces after washing my JL. Leaves a deep glossy shine on painted surfaces with good subsequent water beading, and looks good without leaving too much shine on my black hard top and fenders as well as all the exterior black plastic bits.Agreed, can you recommend a brand
What do you expect from a hood engineered for the desert?That's just a puddle compared to the swimming pool that will collect on the Mojave hoods.
Wait until next cold season. There'll be a Mojave owner bitching about having to replace 2 windshields after that frozen hood pond let's loose, and slaps their windshield before flying into the person following. I clear my vehicles off to the point of looking like it's kept in a garage before hitting the road, but most people leave it to the highway winds. I wish NY would make it illegal like other states, than winter commuting wouldn't be like driving in a swarm of ice missiles.What do you expect from a hood engineered for the desert?
I imagine if Jeep made a Rain Forest edition Wrangler, that hood would be designed with excellent drainage.
The hood is Aluminum, and the Hinges are steel, on all JL's. Galvanic Corrosion is rampant. I had "Bubbling" of my paint around a hood hinge. Crappy engineering.Yep. Just inherent to the design. Drive fast enough and it blows out. At least the hood and hinge aren’t steel, though, some have said they are starting to see paint bubble around the base of the hinge.
