Had looked at new Foresters, new Tribeca's (loved the Subarus due to the longevity and comfort of them), even looked at the Mitsubishi Outlander.
One day driving home we passed a new JK and the missus says "wow I like that, I have always liked Jeeps, can we go have a look at them"?
Before she could change the subject I was already at the Dealers 
We looked for about 10 minutes and she spotted a Dark Charcoal Pearl 2 door and fell in love with it. Took it for a test drive, put a deposit on it and picked it up 5 days later! Had to sell the Subi privately though, as after much negotiating the best offer I get from them was $1800 due to the km on it (first offer was $1200). Sold it for $6,200 privately and have been scrimping and saving ever since for new bits for the JK
Keep up the good work  |
heheheheheheh Yeah I hear you
I was driving a 94 Zuke with 275K and had bought the missus a nice new VW Tiguan and thought it was about time i spent some money on me for once. All my mates drive Nissyotas and i really wanted something different but had to have live axle front, and like you it was my wife's idea to look at the Jeep, from there the planning began. Sold the zuke to a mate for his daughters first car for $2500, after having had to spend $2500 on fixing the gearbox

The first one or two applications will soak in, then it stays for ages. Does not leave it sticky and attracting dust like Amourall etc, but does make it water proof and nice and black - the mud just hoses straight off. Also works just as well on the paint (as it was originally designed for!)

AWESOME thanks for the tip, I was happy with how well the PB cleaned but was wondering how to keep them clean
BTW my daughters Pug loves the plastics on the jeep now
