You should get one, that way you'll be able to experiment with it, and come up with good ideas for mine!

Last night I sprayed down all the transmission (and other) bolts I could with penetrating fluid to make it a little easier to get them off. I cut some of the exhaust pipe off to make access a little easier, and removed the massive muffler. I also pulled the interior door panels since the Limited ones have lights on them, and mine don't.
I removed the headlights and tail lights, and I'm going to try my 3M kit on the headlights to see if I can get them looking new.

I decided to tackle the Limited headlights, to see if I could make them look better. This is how they looked before. And after. I used the 3M kit, and Meguiar's Plast-X to finish them up. I only have about 45 min into them, so they are not as good as they could be, but are much better looking then they were.

Been thinking about doing this for a bit but wondered what a good kit would be to buy. There is a 3M kit on sale at CARQUEST right now, and not sure how many versions there are,so just wondering which kit you bought? Thanks

Today my marine terminals arrived. The factory ones on the Jeep are not in bad shape, but could use a change. I also figured there'd be a much better chance of me actually disconnecting the battery when I should with these on it.

Same results you have there and just keep a tube on the tool box.You do have to repeat every now and then but it does last a while.Put it on a rag wipe over lens and rub it in till shines and your done....

Last night I pulled the rear bumper cover, dropped the factory hitch, and gas tank off of the parts rig. After looking at it with the skid and tank off, man, does that ever give you a ton of room under the ass. I think I might do a practice tank tuck on it, and then hopefully do it on mine. Everything came off rather easily too, which surprised me!
