I'm nobody special but I use Armor All Wash n Wax. It's an orange liquid you can get at Wal-Mart. Fill a bucket. Soap it up and rinse it off. I'm pleased with it.

What would you guys recommend? I plan on taking a trip to AutoZone this afternoon and grabbing some cleaning supplies.

Also, being my first vehicle with leather, what would you recommend for treating/preserving the leather?

Thanks in advance!

Water and liquid soap. All the nonsense expensive specialty cleaners do nothing more or better.

These threads on here are getting a bit ridiculous

This is not good at all. Kind of like saying "I don't brush my teeth I just rinse with some spit. Today I'm a little parched so mouth stays dirty."

It's no wonder so many Jeeps rot out from under people. Take care of it!!

Agreed, although Back to Black works well on returning the fenders to black.

And I've never understood the appeal of using 303 on a Jeep, especially on the outside. Even the lightest mist of water rinses that stuff right off.

Back to black does work good on the fenders. After it rains and they get dirty usually you can just wipe them with a tag and under the muck it's still there.

It rained today so I parked the jeep on the driveway instead of the garage. I take care of it
