On another note, I did recieve the Zaino I ordered in the mail today.



BTW, I have a problem, there are some water spots that are in the hood. Anyway to get these out WITHOUT a PC. I have scratchX, 3m FCRC, and Meg's Swirl R. 2.0



Thanks

yep im a member there what do you recommend covering in the engine compartment when cleanign and degreaseing asking cause last time i did my dad silverado the alternator almost started on fire giving off little puffs of black smoke so i had to disconnect the battery and all what parts should i cover under the hood when cleaning
 
is your screen name like hidwj or something. I think you PM'ed me a couple times about wax and stuff at ju.



I just wait till the engine is pretty cool before detailing. I am also pretty careful about what I spray with water, so I do not cover anything.
 
:eek: Wow your Jeep looks just like in the commercials. :D



For your waterspots try Meguiar's #9 first, then FCRC if that doesn't work or doesn't work fast enough. Just be sure to rub in the products thoroughly.
 
Heh, looks like my friend's mom's Tracker when she's done with it. My friend loves mud, so we find places on their land (180 acres) and just get it all muddy. Of course, her dad has a pressure washer so we get the great chores of cleaning it off.



You wouldn't think a lowly 2000 Tracker would be any good offroad, but it's awesome.
 
In the pics it looks like the plastic bumpers and side panels on the bottom of the doors have become faded. You may want to try some Mother's Back to Black on it, or some 303.

Just my $.02.
