Re: Door Jambs

There is the EZ Detail Brush. Sounds like it...

Re: Door Jambs

I have a super soft flexible/bendable/shapable wheel scrubbing brush I use on door jambs... that way I'm able to get behind the hinges and up into the actual fender that can be seen... also great in the engine bay to get under things, and getting into spring hinges...

Just throwing that out there...

can we get a picture or a link to such an interesting sounding tool...

Re: Door Jambs

I try to remember each time I wash the car to wipe down the Jambs. 2 times a year I treat the gaskets and molding to All Season dressing, and do the paint with A-12 cleaner wax.

Re: Door Jambs

Myself....on cars that haven't been done before I use APC @ 10-1 followed by Megs Speed Detailer, on my own car it's a quick spray and wipe with Speed Detailer everytime that does the trick

PS it's the same for the gutters round the boot (trunk), bonnet (hood) and the roof!!

Re: Door Jambs

Looks good! I find if you spend an extra 5 minutes wiping them out after every wash they stay really clean.

Well put Rasky. I do that everytime I wash our cars. When drying the cars off I use a a different mf towel and wipe down all the jambs and under the doors all around the weather stripping. This keeps them looking like new.

Re: Door Jambs

I agree TXShine. I used the white lithium a couple of times and I had white grease all over. That was the first & last time I used that spray on my door jambs. I'll have to try that 3M Silicone lubricant dry spray.

I agree, I clean mine every time I wash. I use an old mit (rung out a little) with my wash water and come back and wipe down with Last Touch and #40 for the weatherstripping.

Beautiful work! Now that everything is clean, you should spray a hint of white lithium at the joints. Keep them lubed up. Keep up with the cleaning and then make sure they're lubed. Its a constant cycle.

Eric,

I have to respectfully disagree on the white lithium grease, that just ends up being more work and a mess. I'll admit that's what I used for a long time but really got tired of constantly fighting the mess it created and the messy look.

Try using 3M's 08897 Silicone Lubricant (DRY TYPE) you'll be pleasantly surprised. Clean and no mess to clean up or look at.

Here is what you want:


Hope that helps.

Re: Door Jambs

I have gotten into the habit of wiping the jambs and door edges down every time I wash the car. I also use NXT liquid on them each time I wax. I do need to get into the habit of using a dressing on the vinyl/rubber parts. Looks VERY nice!

Yeah I wipe 'em down each time I wash too. I am a big supported of routine easy jobs as opposed to sporadic hard jobs.

I probably could do a better job dressing them each time. At least they're clean!

Re: Door Jambs

Looks good, I usually clean my door jams a couple times a year. Seems I always end up with skinned up knuckles and fingers.

Re: Door Jambs

Damn I never knew door jambs can look that clean. I guess I gotta wait until I get my arsenal ready because I dont have any supplies yet.
