Req. advice on hot weather Jeep care
I recently bought a 2005 Jeep Rubicon with a soft top and half doors.
I live in AZ and our heat can really do a real number on plastics and
vinyl fabrics. There seems to be a lot of stuff available in stores
and in online catalogs for Jeep care. What would work well for
helping preserve the top and windows? What kind of wax should I use
on the paint? Also, I got a carpet dash cover to protect the dash from
the summer sun, but what can I use to clean and protect the interior
plastics? I used to use ArmorAll on my last car, but I've had a
couple of people tell me that it does more harm than good. Supposedly
the strong sunlight breaks down the oils in ArmorAll and that causes
more damage to the plastics than sunlight alone would.
Thank you for the advice!

I thought all the Zonians moved to the Southern California beaches, and
stored their tops.

Keep it in a garage and only drive it at night?
Seriously though, it's probably not so much the heat as it is the
UV... You might want to consider one of the fabric car covers if you
are really concerned with leaving it outside while you're at work or
wherever...
Hopefully, you weren't stupid enough to buy a *black* vehicle...
