I second the 303 suggestion, and I wash my jeep once a week by hand at one of those high pressure do it yourself places, no probs yet.

The dealership where I bought mine has unlimted free brush car washes. I have a soft top and have taken through about once a week, although, it doesn't do a very good job for the undercarriage, I have had no issues.

On the other hand, when the attenna starts flapping around, it scares the shit outta me.

i normally hand wash mine but i have used automatic car washes and hand brush type... the automatic did a good job.. just crank up tha AC and the positive pressure seems to keep water out..

now at the normal brush car wash i am disappointed because when i run that brush over my soft top windows it scratches em like crazy... so for the last 4 months it been all home washes for me.. (saves money for more mods)

Take both of ours through the hand wash. 1 is hard top and the other soft top. No issues or leaks. Can't do it now though....Tops are off of both!

Ben washes his by hand about twice a week, or more if it rains, I get up and do it early before work, but it doesn't take long at all on a 2 dr jk, they are so small, less than 10 minutes from dirty to dry. (Use a wax as u dry spray when drying, it doesn't rly wax imo, but it does dry it good and gets the water spots off and leaves a polished sheen on it.)

And after wheeling I do the underside by hand also, paying special attention to moving parts!!!

Clean it up get it dirty, Clean it up get it dirty, Clean it up get it dirty....
