    I mean dude, those harp pup pelts are really really soft. I wouldn’t want to scratch it! Pita approved! Maybe I should switch to live harp pups? And then live sheep for when I need to paint correction?

    I'm sure there's lots of info on here somewhere on this, but is this a wax replacement product? So you do some kind of dawn type wash to be sure nothing's in the paint and then apply this and it shines like you've waxed it...but seals and protects better? Sorry..just new to most of this. I haven't had something I was proud of in a very long time.

    I use the 2 bucket method with grit guards with CG maxi suds soap and mitt, dry with blower or MF towels.
    I try to use carpro Hydro2 every few months when it's warm enough.
    I use carpro ech2o as a waterless wash now and then, especially in the winter when it's too cold to wash with a hose.
    I like aerospace 303 for plastic trim and lights and some of the interior and tonneau.
    I have Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner that works pretty well.
    I have a bunch of other stuff in a bin I use as well.
    This spring I hope to get it clay barred and ironX then a good sealant.

    Pretty much. I’m not a total expert, so others may be able to answer better. What I know is that it is damned near effortless to apply, and does a great job of sealing it.
    Wash your truck with whatever your normal technique is. While it’s still wet (you may need to keep it wet with the hose if it’s hot and drying fast) spray Hydro2 on a section at a time. You don’t have to spray much. Within 30 seconds (very important. Don’t let it dry on your truck.) rinse it off and dry it. Done. No elbow grease needed. You’ll see immediately how the water just rolls off. Lasts 3-6 months. I love Hydro2.
    Only real drawback is price. You’re generally looking at around 50 bucks for half a liter. You dilute it at least 1-6, so it goes pretty far. It’s worth it to me, because like you, I know the feeling of finally having a ride to be proud of.

    I think you can keep them as pets and use them to wash truck. PITA shouldn't have a issue with that.

    Yeah, different type of product. I haven’t used the meguairs quick wax, but I’m thinking it doesn’t have the longevity that hydro 2 or one of the others has.
    Cheaper, but you have to put it on more often.

    Hydro2 might be my favorite thing I have ever bought for my truck. Second is aerospace 303, then ech2o (also from carpro) very good. And reasonably priced. A couple buckets and some MF towels and you've got a clean truck to be proud of, without spending a full weekend taking care of it.
