I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler! I love my Jeep and wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING!!!

The problem is, that cleaning it is way to hard.

-My soft top is super dirty and I've tried the Bestops cleaner and protector but it takes a lot of strength and it still doesn't get all the dirt off.
-I have Mickey Thompson tires and rims and the rims are a killer to clean and they never look shiny like they did when I first got them. They have water spots and the get rusted.
-Another thing is that sometimes under the soft top there are some like drips of dirt and it's kinda hard to take off.
-And the plastic part of the car like the bumper and stuff have water spots I can't get rid of.

Getting rid of my Jeep is not an option for me. I LOVE my Jeep but it's hard for me to clean. I'm 19 and I'm tiny and have no strength ''/ I only weigh 100 pounds so that just tells you how little I am.
 
Get this stuff called claybar man, It makes your paint SOOOO smooth, heres what you do

Wash the truck
Claybar the whole body
Wax the car
And watch as the dirt just falls off the next to you go 4x4

Best way to go is pressure wash
 
I know how you feel I'm a clean freak too :)

But heres a few tips:

-to get the spots off of the soft top, get a relatively firm plastic brush and just brush the top consistently (except for the windows!!) with the cleaner. take your time and you will have a brand new top. I did this with minimal effort on my 15 year old original top and it looked new when I was done!

-as for the plastic stuff like fender flares, you should use a product such as armorall to douse the plastic and gently rub the product in for a while. I forgot the exact name of the stuff I use but again, 15 year old fender flares looked brand new. try not to get it on your paint.

-the tires: just scrub them down with soap and water (rinse of course) and wait till they dry. use tire shine GEL, it lasts the longest.

-as for the rims, I'm assuming they're chrome since they have rust spots. there's little you can do that will not damage the rest of the finish if you try to remove the rust spots. I would try to at least put something on the rust spots like chrome paint to stop the rust from growing.

-give your paint a nice coat of wax after pressure washing (if possible) and watch that sucker shine. of course, a nice thick coat of mud will look just as great.

And hey... maybe we can go wheelin' sometime... I'll show you how to get all the mud off properly O:)
 
If it won't come clean drive through a mud puddle and then no one will know you couldn't get it clean. A clean Jeep is a sad Jeep.
