Hand wash with foam cannon from Harbor Freight.

Powerwash -> foam cannon -> scrub wheels n tires -> hand wash -> hand dry -> nu finish ceramic

Get only the undercarriage sprayed at a car wash, they turn off everything else on request.

Was actually looking for something to protect/preserve my bestop windows if y’all have any suggestions.

Like others, I wash the wheels, tires and wheel wells first, then hand wash, sometimes with foam gun. I‘ve been using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray and Ceramic Wet wax, but am looking forward to laying down a coat of Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray Wax Advanced.

After using a clay bar and waxing, I applied some graphene coating (which is applied like a wax). It's nano-graphite coating that is less permanent and easier to apply than ceramic coatings.

This graphene has been my best investment yet. All I have to do is spray the body with a garden hose whenever a little dirty, and the crud falls right off.

I still plan to hand wash every few weeks to get it perfect, and get the plastics clean. I do hit the touch-less wash every couple weeks just for the undercarriage spray.

Adam's Graphene? Is it any good? I wash all of my vehicles at home, and I'm getting low on some of my soaps/detailers. I was thinking about switching over to Adam's and adding some of their graphene solutions.

After my beach trip, I took it to the local touch free wash, which sprays the underbody quite vigorously. I ran it through the underbody portion twice which did a great job of getting the sand off of it.

I only have experience with 303's version, but heard good things about Adams when researching.

1) Drive through the car wash for a quick and convenient clean
2) Hand washing at home
3) Hand washing at pull-up car washes

I give the machine $24... and it lets me go into the wash area trolley system!

Paint correct with Menzerna high speed polish and Porter Cable;
Adams Surface Prep;
Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray Advanced (Gold label).

Bronco is the first new vehicle I have had in a long time and it renewed my interest in car care. I have watched tons of youtube videos and it has been enjoyable. Get a $89 ryobi power washer and a $20 foam cannon on Amazon. For a hundred bucks you are in business. I liked it so much I made some upgrades...
You can spend hours and lots of $ on products. Don't over think it.

Most car wash soaps work fine in a foam cannon. There is a youtuber called "Pan the Organizer" and he has lots of great videos.

How are those hose reel things? Do you actually have to stand there and crank it back or?

The Cox reel is actually very nice, this is a 112-3. It is a fluid reel with a tension brake. Yes, it is a hand crank, but a nice one. Amazon just got them back in stock for $189. If you want black, you can get it from Cox or obsessed garage, Adams sells a red one - both are a lot more $. You can get a EZ coil or motorized versions too, again more $.
The hose is an MTM Hydro Kobrajet 50' from pressure washers direct - $119.

Before, I was rolling up a stiff PW hose, putting velcro strap on it and hanging it on the wall. It works but is a pain. If you go that route, at least upgrade the hose. The 50' Flexilla or Uberflex, on Amazon for $69. Ditto for cheaper reels, there are some under $100. Biggest choice is 50' or 100'.

I don't know which to admire more, the grass or the car... Nice work on both!

I bought a RaggTopp kit that came with something for the windows but I haven't tried it yet. The spray protectant for the cloth top worked ok.
