Car Detailing for Jeep Gladiator

Detailing your Jeep Gladiator

The Gladiator is a Wrangler with a bed, and it collects dirt in both ways: open-top pollen and mud in the cab, grit and leaves in the bed and under the tonneau. We rinse the washable floor through the drain plugs, empty the under-seat bin, clean the bed and tailgate seams and get the roof seals and soft top sorted. The fenders and wells get brushed clean and the paint gets a sealant that stands up to trails north of the city.

What we watch for on a Gladiator

• The washable floor and drain plugs let us rinse mud out instead of shampooing it; we dry the floor afterwards so it does not sit damp
• The lockable bin under the rear seat holds tools and recovery gear and collects sand; we empty and vacuum it
• Bed and tailgate seams trap grit, and a tonneau cover's rails hold leaves and water
• Soft tops and plastic windows need fabric cleaner and vinyl polish, and the hardtop seals need cleaning
• Wide fenders and 33-inch tires throw mud into the rear jambs and onto the bedsides; a hand wash with brushes

Pickups: work on the outside, family on the inside

Trucks get the roughest outside treatment and a surprisingly family-sized inside. We deal with bed rails, step bars, tar and tailgate grime on the outside, and crew-cab rear seats and floor liners on the inside.
