I only drive it too and from trails and then I wash it and repeat. I can’t speak for longevity, but it always looks good and doesn’t collect dust more than anyone not doing it. Chemical guys makes an undercoating spray that works well too, but wd40 is cheap and protects everything from rust, so I’m happy with it.

Gotcha. The reason I ask is work in the oilfield and drive the jeep to work everyday so it does see dust. Do t want to be caked on the fenders and corners the day after I use it. I may have to give it a try and see.
Chalky fenders or dusty fenders.... let the battle begin

Is this the stuff?
They dump so much salt on the roads here I’m looking for a little extra protection. Anyone have any comments on how effective?

I will say overall I've been very happy with all the Chemical guys stuff I've used to date.

This stuff is the best I’ve found for stock fenders or powdercoat. Doesn’t stay wet and doesn’t attract dirt and dust.

You got it! If you’re looking for something for plastic fenders or plastics like a trim dressing, the Chemical Guys Clear Liquid Extreme Shine Tire & Trim Protectant has worked wonders for me. I only use it on my fenders and plastics, not tires. Also the dust cling is very minimal.

I just so happen to find some of this stuff locally. Is this the stuff you say is good for powdercoat as well?
I picked it up and I'm going to wash and find a small spot to try it on and see.
Will hit the undercarriage for sure.

Just tried it and it works very well. Had a little learning curve on how to spray and wipe and when. But all in all came out very nice. Hit everything with it. Even the tires. Haha

Did you ever use this thing on your Jeep? Tips/tricks? I'm thinking about getting one. I've watched their videos on it but I've still never used anything like this. WJ is BAAADDD with pinstripes.

If you do. Get the higher end Torque or step up to a Rupes. You’ll be so much happier. The lower powered torque will only frustrate you and take 3 times longer to paint correct and polish. It just doesn’t have enough power and stalls way too much.
I’ve done all my vehicles with the Chemical Guys kit . They come out amazing. [emoji106]

Agreed. It's a good tool but if you want to do things quicker a more powerful machine would benefit you. I believe this machine is a good starter to help you not damage the paint with too much heat. Do yourself a favor and buy several pads. A fresh pad works a lot better than dirty one. Most professional detailers use anywhere from 6-10 pads per polishing step depending on the vehicle. I have 2 of each color. I'll clean the dirty one and set it to dry when I switch to a clean pad. Usually its dry and ready to go when my second pad is dirty. Obviously this takes extra time. Also make sure you use the correct polish for job. Heavy pin striping will most likely take at least 2 possibly 3 different compounds more aggressive to fine. I did this on one of my doors and it looked nearly new. I tried to rush it and put holograms in if and had to start all over. You'll see this a lot in inexperienced or detailers who try to rush. Also make sure to clay the surface first. Hope this helps.

I ended up ordering it before I saw your response. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. I got the Torque 10 FX.
That's what I'm hoping. I'm totally new to this.
I bought the pad cleaning brush. Can't you just clean it and then start using it again?
It has a lot of pinstripes. Should I start with 32 then? Or should I start with 34 and see how it looks?
What do you mean by holograms and how does that happen?

I have done my whole 25’ boat with 1 pad per step. Just clean along the way if needed. You will be fine on the jeep
