Double layer, sandstone cake - with a creamy, nuggety fill, in between.

Man Carves, how do you keep that Jeep so clean on dirt and gravel and a wee bit of mud? I go down my driveway and get mine filthy

Because it's red. The dirt and mud have too much respect for it to make it too dirty ;)

Uh, doesn't work on the red car we have, and it doesn't even move :sign0181:

LOL, well, could be the fact that it's a red CAR and not Jeep. OR, Carves could carry a rag and some stuff with him and clean it up before photos, I suppose...

I think it is the latter, or maybe Aussie dirt doesn't stick to paint

:bang::bang: .. :p .. :D


Funnily enough ... even when its 15yo scratched and dinged duco, actually gets a proper wash with soap ... people think its been polished .. :confused:

I think its that particular red colour ... doesnt seem to show the dust as much ... in photos or from a distance.

The tailgate doesnt seem to collect as much dust as some other vehicles Ive had either ... so maybe the AMC/Renault team got the aerodynamics right ??
