Dope Canopy! Where can I get one of those?

 

MGM fam,
How do you guys wash your trucks? Bad idea to take it through one of those drive-thru washes? Main concern is wanting to avoid swirl marks. What would you dude suggest to avoid that?

 

I wash mine at the house, section by section. Rinse, wash, rinse, then dry with a chamois to avoid any dried water spots. I will take it to a hand car wash every once in a while to get a better clean but I do most of it myself. I have taken it to the drive-thru ones a couple times and didn't notice and swirl marks. Might be the carwash you go to? Idk, hope this helps

 

A couple from my quick trip out to Canyonlands. First one is near Factory Butte. Second is on Elephant Hill (first time I put her in 4wd).

 

Very bad idea. I'm a pro detailer and Toyota paint is some of the softest (easiest to scratch) I've ever dealt with. You can always go the two bucket wash method with a foam canon route, but personally I hate it. It takes a ton of time and there are just better ways these days. It also depends on how dirty your truck gets.
Check out a product call Optimum No Rinse. It's what I use professionally. I believe it's about 20$ on Amazon for a bottle that should last about 20 to 30 washes. I use a cap full with 1 GALLON of distilled water. You just use a soft microfiber towel (or a few), soak it in the ONR solution, use the towel to apply the solution to the paint, and dry with a soft microfiber towel.
If you do happen to go mudding or offroading, it's worth it to just invest in a cheap electric pressure washer, a foam gun, and your choice of soap. Chemical guys makes some awesome car soaps. Hope this helps.
