    Hey guys.....I just bought my first Tacoma a little over a week ago and after several days of raining and pollen dropping.....I am seeking advice on what products to use to wash my truck, wipe down the interior, and what product is best waxing my truck. I have a 2015 DCSB PreRunner. I know there is a lot of over the counter products that works very well but I didn't know if anyone has a better recommendation on what to use. This is my first new truck and I want to make sure that I keep it looking good. In the town I use to live in...I had a guy wash my vehicles (trying to help him out) but I have moved since and I rather wash my truck since it is new. Any help would be appreciated.

    I recommend a sealant. It won't hold pollen to the paint like a wax will.

    I use a good car wash soap, like Mequirs Gold. There are others as well. I like Klassee AIO or Collinite Insulator wax.

    You need to do more prep work though at various stages of life. Spend some time reading about clay or autoscrubs, polishes and polishers.
