I clean the interior more often than the exterior because kids. I think I’ve done the outside twice in the year that I’ve had it.

Thanks so much for the pic of Geri. Sasha is our second long hair. We had Cleo years ago that looked a lot like Geri. Sasha is now 3-1/2 YO and 139 pounds.Not was related but I had to remark on your avatar pic. Gorgeous boy! Reminds me of my long gone Geri…
Ok, this is chicken sh@t topic but I’d appreciate some tips/products to ease the pain of hand washing the Gladiator.
Let me start by saying I hand washed my F250 crew with a ladder rack many times - I’d rather take it to a car wash and pay the $12 frankly but with the rack, it wasn’t an option. Since I added a cargo basket to the Gladiator, I’m in the same boat again.
The Gladiator has so many body seams (fenders to body; hardtop seams; all sorts of nooks crannies) it takes forever to get this thing spotless - bright white doesn’t help - should have gone with Stingrey I guess?
Seeing as Jeeps were meant to get dirty what do all do to make the job easier?

Since we’re talking about keeping our Gladiators clean, Sasha’s hair has been a big problem - in the house too - Dyson has made no money in our household as I’ve worn out two of them already.
The best tool I found to remove dog hair from carpeting in the Jeep is the Lilly “pet hair detailed”. Basically a rubber scraper that really works.
Yea I got a cheapy Foam Cannon from Walmart and it does pretty good. I just soak it in foam really good give it a wipe down and rinse. Then same as you hit up the areas that might have gotten missed somewhat. Then I hit it with a rinse off wax.i use a water cannon (whatever its called) and just go over with a microfiber cloth. Once i rinse off, i just touch up the spots i miss with a damp microfiber. Ill never not wash my car again without my water cannon and pressure washer.
i use meguires snow cannon stuff if anyone is curious. The chemical guys has good stuff too.
Check out some of the diy products, like Turtle wax hybrid ceramic even if you have to do it twice a year it is way cheaper. YouTube has some great videos showing how well they last.I got quoted $2200 CAD for a single stage paint correction and a 5 layer ceramic coat (9H). I've washed mine (black) a few times this summer using a good soap and microfibre, and I'll admit I am seriously thinking about the ceramic. I like a clean vehicle; and even after going off road, what would be wrong with doing right and giving her a good scrub? And ceramic on black looks SO good....
Good stuff, ive used it 3 times already makes the car super wet looking.Check out some of the diy products, like Turtle wax hybrid ceramic even if you have to do it twice a year it is way cheaper. YouTube has some great videos showing how well they last.
