    Really dirty: Foam cannon with Chemical Guys Honeydew soap.
    Moderately dirty: Carpro Reset, two bucket method.
    Somewhat dirty: Carpro Ech20 rinseless wash.
    Quick detail: Ech20 / Reload mixture per @SouthBoundSteve
    Sealer: Carpro Hydro2 every few months. Carpro Reload every few weeks.
    Tires: Mothers foaming tire cleaner with Maquiars purple gel shine.
    Wheels: Haven’t nailed down a favorite yet. Opti-Clean works well. Have some Adams wheel cleaner ordered. Wheel woolies.
    Exterior trim: Car Guys plastic restorer or Carpro Perl.
    Interior: Have used 303, Perl, Chemical Guys VRP. They all work well.
    Glass: Aerosol glass cleaner spray from Wal-Mart.
    Bugs on front: Water and bounce sheets.

    I also just got some of the Collenite sealer, but haven’t tried it yet.

    I have a buttload of different towels I use. Also use my leaf blower.

    Also: Test all products on my wife’s truck first. No reason....

    That one is just so clean, I can't help it. Love the matte black of the emblems, grille, and mirrors on that glossy black paint. I could never keep one that clean though, and black shows a lot of dirt. I love my truck, but I like all the other colors too...not real big on sunset or silver. I REALLY want them to make one in olive green though.

    It’s easy to keep clean. Just wash it nearly every single day of your life. Very simple.

    i put the collinite stuff on my wife's car last fall. at the same time, i put adam's sealer on the truck. so far, almost 5 months later, adam's seems to be winning out. daily fallout is not building up as much on the truck as on wifey's car but the difference is minimal. where adam's wins is in the application. i found it much easier to work with than the collinite.

    I plan to put the Collenite on my wife’s truck this weekend. I’m curious to see how much difference there is between that and the Hydro2. Unless there’s a huge difference, it’s not worth the extra effort of putting the paste type sealer on. You can apply Hydro2 in maybe 10-15 minutes, including drying the car afterwards.
