I have kept my cars cleen and as close to new my whole life. I have read the manual several times regarding the cleaning of my Bronco Sport. It appears that hand washing with only Motorcraft products is recommended. There is also no recommendation for wax. Interior recommendation is mild soap and water.

Can the Forum offer some ideas on cleaning that will not invalidate the warranty and keep my OXB looking great?

Thank you

You do not have to use motorcraft wash products. It will not void your warranty if you use something else. Use whatever you want except dish soap. I use meguiars, no issues what so ever

When asking for recommendations about anything in your case (cleaners and waxes) there are all kinds of opinions out there. If you've used something in the past that you like and are satisfied with stick with it.
The best tip I can give is dont let anyone buff your Sport with a high speed rotary buffer unless they really really know what they are doing. While your vehicle may look great from 3 feet or so away, afterwards at different angles you will see swirl and buffer marks, also the clear coat can also get burned and you'll be saying WTF happend, I just had it buffed.
I've seen a number of vehicles that have had the paint jacked up because someone used a buffer and didn't really know what they were doing.

For the interior, I only have only need to wipe my down my everything with a damp microfiber cloth and only use distilled water. Our local water, while very high quality, is very hard and will leave a residue. Remember whatever you apply inside will evaporite and end up on your windows.

I've been suing Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Infused To The Max Wax since it came out with amazing results. I also have used the spray flex wax. Also put it on my new 25. For interior they make a good spray interior detailer and a cermaic/graphene one. For leather seats, leather honey has always been good to me.

I normally use Meguiers for cleaning and some 303 for protection. It's the lowest gloss I've been able to find since Armorall stopped selling their matte spray. It's still a little too glossy for the dash, and fine for the rest of the interior as I'm fine with not having a super glossy interior.
