How do you wash your truck?

I nee

Two bucket method, soap buck and rinse bucket. Since the ceramic coating, its quick and easy.

I need to look into this ceramic coating.

I go through a good ol fashion car wash with the scrub brushes and everything. I’m not a guy who wants to polish everything up weekly. Not entering it in to any car shows. It tows the cars to the show.

Haha. I like that. No shame in that at all.

I just took mine through a high-end brushless car wash today. Not concerned about it causing issues in the paint but dang it did a poor job! I think the nooks and crannies on the '19 just can't be gotten to with an automatic car wash.
It had issues with regular problem areas like around the mirror (was able to make it through without retracting them) but the Limited grille didn't even look washed. The areas inside the door handles and the chrome inserts on them were barely washed. The curved in portions of cab and bed where they meet was missed as well. The tailgate was 75% untouched.

After I had to spend another 20 minutes washing all the missed areas I think I'm done with drive through car washes. A new handwash shop just opened up near me so I'll be stopping in to see how much of an arm they charge.

The brushless car washes never work. Waste of money other than to rinse off.

Right. It sounds like everyone else puts on their pink panties to wash their trucks. Lol

My personal preference is to wash by hand using 2 bucket method and a nice microfiber mitt. However, depending upon the region you live in, this is not possible all year long. When the temps drop into the 30's and 40's and lower, water to the outside on my home is turned off and hoses stored for winter. No way I am hand washing one of my vehicles at this time of year. I have no choice but to use local car wash especially after snowfall to rinse salt from body and undercarriage. Not everyone has the luxury of warm climate year round.
