    Jim I have sprayed it off with the hose a few times . Product is amazing. You have made me a believer for sure. Gonna do a detail on the wife's Altima. I got that Torque Snow Foam Blaster and will do what we initially did on my Tundra the first time. Wash x2, clay bar, wax x2. Gotta take little steps, in training ya know :eek:

    I'm gonna wash and dry my truck tomorrow. Nothing fancy. I did the interior this week and it really needed it.
    I'm hoping one day in May I'll get a day to wash, decon (ironX and clay bar), clean with carpro eraser and apply reload. That'll be the extent of my full detail on the exterior. Obviously I'll do the windows and plastics as well. That alone will likely take me all day. For now I'm just happy to get it clean now that one interior is done, I applied hydro2 about a month ago and it still looks good.

    I fought off the remains of this stomach bug and got my truck washed and dried and plastics 303'd. No pics though. Wasn't feeling great so I just wanted to get it done

    Feeling much better thanks.
    Few shots from work lot

    Just a hand wash and dry and 303 on plastic. Didn't do glass or much to wheels. Did hydro2 over a month ago. Still shines.

    Highly recommend the hydro2

    Soon I'll clay and wash and try the reload from carpro. Excited about that.

    @driverdog how difficult was the CQuartzUK application? I was thinking of getting ceramic pro done but they want $1000.

    I just applied it to my wife's new Highlander. It wasn't difficult to do but was very time consuming - probably a 10 hour process without paint correction.

    FWI says wax but i think its more of a bug/tar remover. At least thats my experience with it. I would never attempt to "wax" a vehicle with it.

    Well I use two buckets to wash... One for soap one for rinse. I have three different microfiber mitts. The oldest one works for rocker panels and down. The middle one does the fenders, doors, bedsides, and grille. The newest one does my flat surfaces like the hood and roof. I dry with an absorber to get the majority of the water off. If I'm just washing then I grab my wizards spray and a micro fiber towel and wipe it down. If I'm waxing then I reach for a clay bar and use that with the wipe down. My go to wax is colonites 845 insulator wax. Not the deepest shine, but easy on/off with great durability. I easily get 3-4 months out of a wax job. For my classic car it only gets 100% carnauba paste. I wash glass thoroughly and then clay bar the outside and wax it with the same colonites. Clear lenses and plastics get hit with plexus aircraft windshield cleaner/polish. Wheels get dawn dish soap. Simple green if it's bad. Flitz polish for any chrome. 303 aerospace for the interior. Thanks to the others for sharing.

    My two favorite waxes, though I don’t use them a ton:

    https://shinesupply.com/collections/waxes-and-sealants/products/cherry-silica-wax-12oz

    https://www.blackfirewax.com/blackfire-deep-gloss-sealant.html

    This doesn’t include Waxaddict Vortex. My truck has never looked better than it did when I used that, but at $250.00 a jar it’s tough to recommend.

    I used to use this for my King Ranch seats: it's phenomenal. [If I had a stain, first I would press a hot, damp cloth against the leather to draw up the stain.] When you apply this stuff [with a sponge], it soaks into the leather, keeping it supple, eliminates scratches, and makes the leather look awesome. I think it works particularly well with your color of leather. Of course, ymmv.

    I’d like to start using a larger brush to wash the truck. What are the best 15” or larger products I should be looking at??

    I walked around at my local Ace for a bit but not sure i saw something that was really intended to wash cars. Maybe not ‘soft’ enough.

    I saw a 10” that would work but i want to go up to 15” or so
