I've been looking at doing a similar thing so I can take that cover off...I wonder if wrapping those exposed washer lines in aluminium foil would help?
I was considering doing that around those air bag elbows on top of the suspension tower that are vulnerable...

Just washed it. I am living in vancouver so I had to do it often because vancouver is known for its unpredictable weather. While rain may cleanse some dirt, it often leaves streaks and water spots. Snow and slush can bring salt, which can be damaging to your car's paint. Even during pollen season, your car may end up with a sticky film. Even there is a whole article about that https://gleamworksdetailing.ca/how-o...-in-vancouver/ . So yeah, kinda do it often.

Gave the ride a very good wash just before the storms started and most importantly tried out Meguiar's Endurance Gel tire shine. Can vouch this stuff is really good and lasts even after a few rains! Was hating my tyres going brown after every few days of washing. Apparently this stuff lasts weeks.
Most of you guys are posting your Jeeps on rough terrain, camping and most importantly dirty but here you go this is what a pavement princess GC looks like haha. Still does fair amount of light towing and shit load of daily driving lol

I like that shine, mine came up like that when i washed mine while the Son in Law was away and I used his liquid gold Bowdens stuff, I haven't been able to manage to buy some myself, my wallet has a siezure at the price..............
I use the Woollies tyre stuff $5, good for around town but the red dirt gives it severe curry...........

Thanks Drover yeah I can imagine it would be really hard to keep up if you have to drive on red dusty roads though. I know Bowdens makes some good stuff too haven't tried their tyre stuff. I think the good ones just creates this seal which lasts longer. This stuff is applied with an applicator pad too so no overspray and wastage. Quite thick gel and very little gets used every time so apparently people could use one bottle for ages. Expensive at start but can use for long. Got tired of cheapo spray cans that only lasts for around two rounds and the tyres not staying shiny for long either. Didnt want to spend this much on it but seriously wanted to give it a shot for ages.
Next on my list of cosmetics is to get the front two windows tinted as they are clear at the moment. And the woman on the phone now confused me by saying the rear privacy glass on our cars is just a black coloured glass and has no UV or heat protection bla bla. Now I am thinking should I tint them rears as well or just get the fronts done. I really didnt notice anything about the rears not having heat rejection and my previous car had the same privacy rear setup too. Never bothered tinting on top lol

Other than the front screen mine seems to be tinted or something as you certainly can tell the difference when closed with the sun shining on you, open you can get sun burnt ......................
Ive done 3 of my vehicles over the years, bought a few rolls of tint, followed the instructions, a lot of care and didn't rush things and they all came out good and never peeled off or bubbled ...... prick of a job though in some vehicles, couldn't do it now as I don't bend so well.............

I'm fairly sure all the glass on the GC has some UV-rejecting properties - not as high as tint though, so the rep you spoke to is correct. Often they'll just do a clear UV/heat rejecting film on privacy glass.
The ceramic stuff is pretty incredible at reducing heat in the cabin.
