I was facing a challenge with my 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. You see, the paint was soft and would easily scratch.
As you can imagine, this drove me crazy. One of my favorite weekend activities is washing a waxing the vehicles to make them shine like new.
With this Jeep, I had to be extremely careful because the paint was soft. While we should all be careful when washing our vehicles to make sure we don’t scratch the paint with a dirty wash mitt, this paint required just a little too much TLC for my liking.

As a result, I did a lot of research in an effort to help the situation and the best option other than a full repaint was to use a nano paint coating to protect the paint.

In this video, we go through the multi-step process of protecting the paint.
