The only problem with the exterior is the faded greying black exterior trim pieces. I tried a couple solutions, &#8220;Back to Black&#8221; and &#8220;Black Again&#8221; exterior trim finisher. They work on all colors, not just black.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are others on the market but these were highly suggested in newsgroups and by friends. Simply wipe on the product with a clean cloth or cheese cloth then wipe off excss with another clean cloth. They both had identical results but the &#8220;Black Again&#8221; seemed to remove the oxidation better, judging from the darker areas left in application rag.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">See images for a before and after.

If you have a newer Wrangler, those fender wells are probably, or someday will fade. This is a cheap alternitave to replacing them at about $3-$4 a bottle. One drawback is it must be reapplied in about 2-3 months, depending on weather and washing conditions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently purchased a beautiful &#8217;99 Jeep Cherokee Sport.
