2008 Liberty Ltd.
I just bought the new Liberty 08 with the Skyslider feature. I had a
hell of a time finding one. What's up with that. I am curious about the 17 inch Victory rims. They are "aluminum painted". Is this powder coated..or? What are the best detailing products to use in general and the rag top in particular? The car is black BTW. Skyslider |

If you have any black plastic or vinyl exterior trim or accessories, Mopar's is generally terrible (most especially the smooth trim parts) and tends to discolour easily. This is the best I've found so far to clean it up: http://www.microfiber-products-online.com/06108mp.html Hope this helps. PF -- "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it". |

Be aware that there is also a 303 Cleaner, don't get the two confused. It also works well on clear vinyl windows and as a treatment for plastic trim like dashes etc. It's a tad pricey but a bottle goes a long long ways. You can get it on the net at several places, look for the best price. Les '07 Wrangler X 2door 6 speed |

Thanks for all the replies guys. This the first group I've found with some experienced regular posters. PF my interior is the usual 2 tone pastel gray-exterior is black. I've ordered a fabric dashboard cover partially because it looks like junk and secondly because I'm in the desert where summer temps soar into triple digits. (105-115) in june- july. My garage is covered but I routinely park outside around where interior temp is 130-140. So for that reason I'm also looking to slow down wear and tear. We also get an occasional wind/sand storm which can and does instantly permanently pit the paint and windshield. Auto Glass business is robust around here because windshields do crack now and then...

Early ones were leather I guess. Maybe you recall the early 60's VW beetles with removable canvas roof. Skyslider |

"Jethro" the local Jeep parts guy is completely clueless. Price is secondary issue for the SS top because I don't want to think about repairs/replacement in 5 years of summer sun/sand here in the desert. Skyslider |

It does help..and yea the rim is aluminum finish with the sparkle finish...so do I use aluminum wheel cleaner...or? I pulled up Mcquires site and they have 100 products..... FYI or anyone wanting the SS feature-take heed. Chrysler has them back ordered for months and dealers are doing a classic bait n' switch. If a dealer says he can get you a basic sport model with skyslider- in a couple days-that's likely BS. At least in SoCal anyway. then they switch you to a sunroof instead. One fellow asked me if I wanted to "make a bid" on one and I told him to get lost. I suppose he has some idiots paying 35K for a Liberty with the roof. Skyslider |

I've used "Back to Black" on my '04 TJ's fender extensions and Mother's Plastic Polish for the windows on the soft top. -- FRH |
