I'm wondering how common it is to wax the door jambs when doing a detail.

Re: Waxing door jambs?
On my cars, I wax the larger areas and the parts exposed to the elements. People at work say I have the shiniest cars.....even when it's raining, that M16 rolls the rain right off

Re: Waxing door jambs?
Cleaning and waxing the door jambs should be part of every routine detailing process, just as cleaning and dressing the wheel wells is. It really detracts from the overall presentation if the exterior is gleaming, the interior spotless, but the door jambs are a mess. Attention to detail is key.Michael Stoops

Re: Waxing door jambs?
I have been cleaning them, guess it didn't occur to me to wax them as well. Not sure why I didn't think about it.Comment

Manditory here in snow country. Car's seem to have a propensity to start rusting there when they get chipped and are subjected to road salt and slush. The inner door panel areas are also a place to regularly clean and wax, IMO.Jim

Re: Waxing door jambs?
This is a mandatory part of my pre-winter detailing. An absolute necessity when freezing rain "seals" your doors shut. I have damaged too many doors seals by not waxing the metal and conditioning the seals with silicone spray.

Re: Waxing door jambs?
Those of us who have bought the Meg's consumer claybar kit received a small bottle of Cleaner Wax. I didn't know what I was going to do with it until Mike P made the suggestion in one of his comments to use Cleaner Wax on the door jambs and painted trunk space (is there a name for that area? trunk jambs?). --AlLast edited by akimel; Nov 14, 2008, 03:01 PM.Swirls hide in the black molecular depths, only waiting for the right time to emerge and destroy your sanity.

Yup, thats exactly what I do!Originally posted by BlueZero View Post
Ill probably use scratch-x 2.0 or or swirl-x to remove swirls in door jambs now..
Usually Ill wash and dry them every time I wash the paint and wax them when I do a full detail.Current Jeep: 2004 Jeep Liberty with stuff

I hit mine with some m09 when im polishing, what ever wax i use when im waxing, or the quick detailer I use after a quick wash. Basically treat them just like the rest of the car.The polish will deffinitly bring them to life and would recomend making a little time for it.Comment
