Well on a different tack at 72, living in farm country, driving in fields, dirt roads, gravel and dirt driveways, I go through the car wash when I get a chance to.

I really should make a list of things that will make detailing and washing so much faster. Obviously getting a quality coating on it is the first step.

About 3 years ago I had a detail shop install ceramic coatings on our vehicles - my wife's sedan and my truck. Since those coatings were installed I haven't waxed either vehicle - just wash, rinse and dry. A couple of times a year I would spray on a detailer and wipe that off - easy peasy. The coatings show no sign of losing the shine or water repellency. The draw back is the coatings were expensive...

Soooo... check out this thread on a product suggested by Treburkulosis...

So I just wanted to put this product out there. I have been testing Undrdog Pro on my wife's Jeep and it has been a year and wow it still performs and as well as any ceramic. It is teflon based. It is a great driver coating. It will last as long as any ceramic coating Carpro or Modesta. The...

I did this yesterday and I fully expect to have this coating perform like the product I paid a detailer for. Very DIY and all in less than $200.

I'm thinking of getting one of those foaming soap gadgets for my pressure washer to wash the rig with, then use a soft chamois to wipe it down afterwards. Wax when needed.
