For those who wash at home, what is your routine and product preferences?
I haven't yet found the magic suds that will do everything in one go.
I'm sure open to finding them but haven't yet.
First, we have a good power washer and a whole house water softener.
And I use a basic foam cannon. It does a good job for getting all the larger particulates off but it still leaves a film of fines. It almost even looks clean, until you look at the windshield and can still see the wiper limits.
So, we then follow that up with hand washing, working sections at a time, to not let anything dry before rinsing. We have a dirt strainer in the bucket.
Then follow that up with ceramic detailing sprays (Not a full on ceramic coating)
My Wife and I can tag team a vehicle, in fairly short order.
I mostly use Meguiar's products but I'm not married to them.
I do like their hybrid ceramics, for ease of use but I'm open to trying something else.
If you have clear plastics fading, like older model headlights, their Plastx product, is the best I've found.
On the matte finish plastics, Mother's, Back to Black, is really good. Super easy to work with and makes even old, sun faded pieces, look new again.
For glass, I've found nothing that compares to Invisible Glass cleaner.
On rubber window and door seals, I use 303 protectant. Its good for plastics too. Almost a universal type product.
