Your tried/tested info for newbies.
Just got my brand new 2008 JK Unlimited a couple of weeks ago. Went to hose off the bugs from the grill at one of those do-it-yourself car washes, and minutes later steam (smoke?) started coming from over the end of the hood after I started the car and was in traffic.
Freaked out and a little embarassed, I pulled over, running the car until the steam stopped -- this never happened with my old little sports car. I think everything is OK now.
But still would like to know your advice. What have you discovered on your own? Best things to do and to not do to your JK....
Thanks in advance!

Proud owner of a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited! ;D Had too many bugs on my windshield, so hosed it etc., off.
Good to know that the steam from the grill is a Jeep thing. Was worried I did damage.
Does anyone know of a better way to wash the grill, etc., avoiding the steam?
P.S. Someone else told me to put a scratch in my baby, but I can't do it! Want to go off-roading ... maybe in a couple of months. I know you guys are going to give me crap for this, but just not ready to see her with a ding or scratch. She's so pretty!
