    Hmm I don’t really detail my truck I literally spray the inside and outside with the hose and wipe it down. That said I like chemical guys soap and foam sprayer though you can get a cheap foam sprayer on Amazon.

    I would recommend 2 wash buckets, a good microfiber wash mit or wash pad, tire and wheel brushes, maybe a wash pad on a extension pole if you are short to get the roof, some microfiber towels, a drying towel, I like "the absorber" and then some cleaners and protectants.
    I like most Maguire's products but Adams and chemical Guys are good but usually more $. For protectants I have settled on 303. What products you like is really mostly personal preference and budget to be honest.
    I really just listed the basics. You can get fancy detail and wheel brushes and all kinds of stuff online. I usually go to Walmart, Target or the auto parts store.

    Try sc1 on the inside instead of armor all. It goes on nice and doesn't leave an oily film for the dust to stock to afterwards

    I’ve been using Chemical Guys and their products have worked great. They have a lot of options for everything you need and most of it smells great. Some stuff is a little over priced, like the foam cannon. I got one on Amazon for $20 and it’s basically the same thing.

    I applied a carpro ceramic coating myself and 2stage polished the whole truck. Ceramic still holding up nicely. I top coat it with the last coat 2.0.

    50/50 IPA/Water for glass inside and out.

    Mothers VLR on the inside interior leather and plastic surfaces. if you have cloth interior i'd recommend scotchgaurd it every few months.

    Chemical guys silk shine on the tires.

    have fun i love taking care of my truck.

    Yes, 50% distilled water, 50% Isopropyl alcohol on glass works very good. best done in the shade, use a nice micro fiber to apply/clean and a clean one to dry and cleans very good.

    I'm not as picky with the truck as I was with my Vette since I take it offroad, but one trick that I still use is an electric blower to dry it. Prevents a lot of micro scratches on the clear coat. Plus it gets water out of all the nooks and crannies that would be missed with simply wiping it dry.
