Hey, I tried once... went through with 37" K02s, I fit but so much of the Bronco is missed with the brushes. Pillar lights, flares, roof light bar and the spare tire blocks a lot of the cleaning. Then the guys wipe you vehicle down, rubbing in the dirt.
Sounds like what I have under a different name. The ceramic treatment doesn't seem to do a whole lot though. But mine is only $20.
$20 is a good deal--sort of the entry level subscription at the ScrubaDub chain. Having used the $30-with-Simoniz-wax package, I got very good beading, long-term, on my previous ride (Toyota Sienna), which I interpret to be good protection. I won't go long-term with the Simoniz ceramic package, but will run the Bronco through as many times as I can for as much treatment as I can get.
Here's how I handle the area around the spare tire, every month or two:
Right! Since I have unlimited washes on my plan, I can go in for a 2nd pass. I also bring a squeeze bottle or two with all-purpose and/or window cleaner and get other surfaces done. Then I toss their cleaning cloths in their used (laundry) bin.Here's how I handle the area around the spare tire, every month or two:
Step 1 - take the spare off and leave it at home.
Step 2 - Run it through the car wash. This one is a super bargain. They have an eight dollar wash for locals that know about it (doesn't show up on the menu), plus if you get there before 9:00 am they knock off four bucks, so total cost is $4.00. Really.
Step 3 - use the rags that they provide to get in all of the tight spots.
For four bucks, it doesn't come out spotless, but with the provided rags and vacuums, it only takes a little more work to get it clean inside and out, including the areas inside the doors that collect dust. It takes a bit of work to get the wheels completely clean.
I didn't clean inside the fender wells before going and they're still dirty, but I don't care. I'll get that next time. This Bronco is never going to look shiny new again and I'm fine with that. But I clean up the paint, windows, and top when I can.
In a post elsewhere, I recounted a red-light-fast chat with a guy in a spiffy, nicely polished black enamel Wrangler. I told him, in light tones, his car would look nice with some mud and dirt splashed over it. My installer tech told me, "90% of what I install doesn't go off-road." (Groan...
)
My spare tire and wheel are a bit over 100lb now that I'm on 37s so thats not happening, but great advice for smaller tires! I'm legit at the point that I can't even fix a flat on my Bronco, god forbid. I can't get the tire off the back and the jack inside my Bronco is FAR too short to touch the lift points now. I'm just gonna have to light it on fire and walk away if I ever get a flat..Here's how I handle the area around the spare tire, every month or two:

I think the list of physical issues is quite long but to me the emotional betrayal i would feel using the wrong wax on my baby would be with me forever.
Same here with Club Car wash on the Jeep for $20
That's funny, calling a Sasquatch tire "smaller".
I feel for you, brother!
