I wish I lived in a neighborhood like that, I live in an apartment downtown. I might be able to convince some of the kids I babysit but it will be a while til it's warm up here (I was in the desert at the time of the car wash and not near home)Funny you should ask... I'm changing oil and getting ready to give the rig a bath right now. (The oil is draining at the moment)
I wouldn't run a soft top through a car wash. The front edge of the soft top above the windshield won't take much abuse from power brushes. Mine had a brand new soft top on it that the dealership put on to replace the worn out factory one. The lot boy ran it through a car wash just before delivery. Ripped a hunk out of the top on the passenger side the size of a small playing card. Now I have gorilla tape on the rip / hole to keep the rain out.
I use warm water and mild soap. Wash it by hand. TJ's are small, so it doesn't take much time or effort. Got any neighborhood kids that want to make a few bucks? Offer them a five and a ride with the top down to wash the Jeep; they would probably jump on the chance. You could sit in a lawn chair with a refreshing beverage and supervise. It's a win -win for everyone. In the summer, the grandkids go nuts washing the Jeep. A car wash with the big rotating brushes is kind of a bad thing with a soft top even on sports cars.

I probably won't do it again, but it I couldn't find a do it yourself car wash while we where there
I was wondering how the rest of you wash your jeeps without a hard top?
Very good question, I would like to know that also. I've heard that people have welded that hole up, anybody have any opinions on that? Thanks, I really love this group, I find out some good stuff about my Jeep Wrangler 65th anniversary edition on here. Yes I'm new to this Jeep thing, and I love my Jeep.OK, here's a question... You know that big hole in the frame right in front of the rear tires? The one that let's our frames rust out so nicely? Mine seems to attract mud and crud and pine needles every time I go out. What's the best way to wash all of that stuff out of there?

Quit bragging! This cold up here really sucks!I wash mine with just the bikini top on and the inside rarely gets wet if you be a little careful. Once every couple of months I put up the top and use a conditioner made for convertible tops to make sure it doesn't rot, crack, decay or whatever they might do. I rarely drive with the top up.
