Default Washing the jeep topless

Does anybody else here wash their jeep without the top on? I have the soft top in the basement along with the backseat.. keep it in the garage when it might rain, and run it as much as I can with the top off.. Well,, it was a little muddy and full of bugs so I washed her down yesterday,, Tilted the seats forward so they wouldn't get soaked,, getting those neoprene seat covers for next summer(not the neosporin ones). Only small amounts of water in,, way better than the major t-storm we drove in the other night,,,

X2 just take the nozzle off and pay attention. I did this all the time with my YJ, of course me washing the Jeep with out a top on is not all that exciting to watch.

I wash it mostly with the top off. I try to keep the kids busy when I'm washing it this way.

I've done it at the do it yourself car washes and at home. It helps to have the neoprene seat covers. Spray down and not directly up around the sides and for the windshield and hood, spray across the hood away from the windshield. If it's windy don't use a spray nozzle.


Air dry of course.
