    I totally agree. Jescar has been my go to for years, and their "ceramic" spray for in between uses works surprisingly well and is very easy to use.

    If you are going to do all that work don’t finish with wax it will only last a month.

    We have the Amazon MATCC $20 cannon, it works awesome. Once you dial in the soap to water ratios and how much to open the water/dispenser, it goes on as thick as you want.

    Super fun to use.

    I just picked up two foam cannons from Harbor Freight. They were on sale for 24.99....very nice for the price. Been switching back and forth between Reset and Gyeon foam. Similar products....Reset a little more cleaning power...Gyeon has the edge in lubricity.

    Since the truck got coated, I've also been doing some touchless washes with Bilt Hamber Touchless from an IK foamer.

    Coatings do not stack so I prefer to do a PH neutral bath and then a wipedown with a coating approved QD.

    So my Tundra has been at the dealership for 10.5 months. Six months in I found out it had been left under an oak tree and basically forgotten about. I flipped my shit. Truck was covered in tree funk. Anyway I went to war and was told that the truck would go to a third party detail shop to get corrected. I was a little skeptical to say the least. The dealer has been cool about it and gave me the shop’s contact so I could reach out. The shop is really damn nice I stopped by today to check it out. 3 exotics siting inside and my tundra sitting in the wash bay. I hated the idea of someone I didn’t know touching the truck but after a few conversations and a stop by I believe my truck is in a good place. They are going to do a two stage correction and prep it all for a coating. They use Ceramic Pro and I don’t want to run that. I will apply Undrdog Pro on Monday myself.
