I use OPT Optimum no rinse wash and wax on my black truck. I'm tall (6'3") so to do the roof I can just stand on the running board, and for the windshield I'll open a door and lean over. Been really happy with the results so far.

Huh, I was not happy with ONR, it either scratched or didn't clean. Thankfully, I gave waterless another shot with Meg's Waterless Wash & wax, and it works great.

It’s definitely not scratching my truck at all. Bought a bunch of microfiber towels though, and I use at least 6-7 just for washing and another 6-7 for drying.

$30 a month here at the local gas station carwash. I can go everyday if I want and its exterior and interior w/ vacuum. Im just glad I found one that the Raptor fits in

Anyone know of any car washes in southeast Michigan that fit these things? Just wondering for the wintertime

Don't watch the Obsessed Garage guy on YouTube. That is unless you want to get sucked into sending him a bunch of money for shit you never knew you needed.

Might work ok for those with colors like white and silver, but that's not gonna fly for black trucks. I have a coating and keep it topped off with sealant, and pressure wash isn't enough to get all the dirt off.

if it's properly coated with proper layers and real ceramic coating, dirt wont stick to it.

Just get taller. I’m 6’3” and have no issue. All joking aside i open the doors and stand inside to reach those tough areas. I also wash a portion and the wife is right behind me drying. The water spots are terrible.

Open the doors, stand in the inside while leaning over to do back part of the hood, the windshield and roof.
