my daily driver is parked outdoors almost all year 24/7
I wash the truck every other week. *twice each month*
Week 2
I use
Optimum No Rinse on the exterior. There have been times where I will rinse the truck off with water using the pressure washer. *Usually only happens on bug/night adventures*
Will vacuum the interior if needed. In most cases, a few clippings of grass and a bit of dog hair have stated to accumulate on the carpet.
Week 4
I use a foam cannon on my pressure washer with
DP Xtreme Foam, followed with the 2 bucket method wash by hand.
LSP is
Collinite 845 with the first coat applied on saturday morning after the wash/clay/dry, the second on sunday.
303 Aerospace Protectant for the plastics and rubber all around the truck *including the plastic fender wells.
Interior is vacuumed with a shop vac and various tips and brushes for the dash.
303 Aerospace Protectant for the dash and door panels.
Recenly ordered
DP Gloss Tire Gel and have been running with it for the last 2 weeks to test durability. *still looking good!*
I am still searching for a favorite leather seat cleaner that can be used monthly, but have
Leatherique Pristine Clean in my cart for the next order.
Thats the KISS process on my daily driver. I still have people commenting or asking me how I keep my truck so shiny each week.
I limit myself on correction of the paint to semi-annual.
Touch-up paint in key areas with wet-sanding using
2000 grit by hand & block, followed with
3000 grit disc on the
Griot's 3" Polisher
This process includes
Meguiars M205 and
Menzerna PO85RD.
hope it helps!
