What did you do to your TJ today?

Ain't worth it - anything closer and the defects show up!
I agree. When I sold my Jeep, the guy used that ceramic coating on the paint. After being in the sun the past 6 months, the paint looks worse than it ever did. I found a 3M flame red gloss vinyl to match the paint. I'm going to try it around my windshield frame when the weather gets warmer. Dried dead bug guts from the Texas PO was the cause of my paint problems.:(
 
My pups wanted more months of airflow, and I wanted to have a hardtop all year (security and sound wave retention).
After a few ideas I found some cheap diamond plate on Offerup.
Felt like a mad scientist when it all came together.
Next up is the rear window. Then a simple sunroof.

Bit the bullet and bought a Crown OPDA for my 06 for a just in case $43US shipping to Australia but not sure I could get a Crown unit here anyway so still worth it! Also put some Motorkote in the engine lets see if it cures the lifter chatter at start up or kills it :)

Zorba - If you want to make it sparkle like you have never experienced before I suggest you take 15 minutes and treat it with Adams Graphene Ceramic spray. (Make sure there is no overspray or condemnation on the paint before you do it.)
