I have a Jeep and have tons of underbody parts (rear receiver hitch, skid plate, springs, wheel wells, etc.) and most are black and/or powdercoat painted black.
how do I clean them and how do I protect them from rusting and getting dirty? I am putting a black tow hitch in and don`t want it to rust - is there something I can put on it?
Also, my tailpipe is all rusty looking so what`s the best way to clean it and then protect that (and what about the chrome tip)?
And what`s the best tire cleaner/protectant and wheel cleaner/protectant to use on my alloy wheels and black tires?
Finally, is it ok to take cars to a brush carwash place or should I only handwash? And which wax should I use?
Basically, I`ve read tons of the posts on this board but just don`t understand what is the best to do/use - I own a `98 Jeep and am not nazi about my car but want to keep it looking good, not rusting, and protected - what do you suggest (I bought lexol vinylex for the black exterior parts but will that protect them from fading, i will take it to a regular carwash place or handwash it w/ water and duragloss or some other random soap, i dont know which wax to use or if the quick detail waxes are suitable, and i don`t know what to use on my tires or wheels or what to use on the underbody and hitch to seal/keep it from rusting)
I`d really appreciate any advice!
Thanks!
