Have a few questions about washing the plastics inside and out on the Bronco, they seem to not clean so easily, if at all. Mud stains on the fenders and also plastic bumpers don't seem to wash away in all cases, it washes away then there is some residue that never seems to come off, is there a trick ? Also we have an OuterBanks and it seems to have the cheapest looking plastics inside, the plastic seems to have a grain, in some areas like the center console, and doors the doors and center console do not clean very easily. Is there a trick to getting the dirt / oils out ?

My OBX is spotless. Plenty of good interior cleaners from The Chemical Guys and Griots Garage.

I really like Adam's products (www.adamspolishes.com). I used the interior detailer spray yesterday and wiped down the interior and everything looks much better.

On the exterior trim pieces, I plan on using their tire and rubber cleaner to clean and then coming back with their VRT after drying to enhance and protect.

They have great products and usually have some type of sale or promotion going on.

Thank you for all of the suggestions, however I am looking for a type of detergent mixed with water in a bucket with a traditional sponge to just wash the car with and get rid of the mud marks, is there such a thing, warm water maybe ? I mean protecting the parts from sun water etc, is one way to go, but I'm not looking to go through that trouble, I want to use the car for what it is when it wears out we can replace parts, but also be able to wash it with a normal wash process that will get rid of mud marks, first wash with residual mud marks seems uncharacteristic of a materials surface.

Maybe you are using the word detergent for shampoo. Whatever you do , don't use dish detergent on your truck, it will remove your wax and make things much worse.
As mentioned earlier, Adam's Polishes is a great resource and they have lots of easy beginner videos.

The rest of the Bronco yes. The plastics and flares need a different love. I use a chemical guys all purpose plastic cleaner and a brush. Then some back to black or some other black plastic restorer. Cheers.
