From Trail Rash to Showroom Shine – Pinstripes Gone with Just a Wash?

[Phobiac]

Before Wash: After Wash:

Did the very easy, but fun, Mammoth Lakes Overlook Trail ending at the Mammoth View 3S34. Got very narrow with no turning back and was sure there would be some added character to both sides of the Grenadier.

I was surprised that after the wash the Grenadier didn't have deeper scratches and that the door panels looks as good as they do. I didn't do any waxing or buffing, just a wash. When I purchased the Grenadier it had Eckbond coating from the dealer (I was skeptical). Last wash prior to the trip I used Ethos RESIST Graphene Spray Coating (just used for the nice shine). Neither mention any scratch resistance, but surprised it cleaned up so nicely without any paint correction or buffing out any of the scratches.

Curious if your pinstripes clean up the same way???

I don’t have any pictures to prove, but I’ve badly pinstriped mine in the past, through thick acacia bush and all seems to clean up OK. The paint on the Grenadier, without any extra protection seems pretty tough to me.
